Alyansa campaign manager: VP impeachment, Duterte surrender to ICC cost admin slate the election
Navotas Rep. Toby Tiangco, campaign manager for Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas, attributes the administration-backed alliance's poor performance in Mindanao to the impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte.
Tiangco stated that voter sentiment in Mindanao shifted dramatically after the impeachment complaint against Vice President Duterte was filed in February.
Pre-election surveys in October 2024 indicated a strong showing for Alyansa candidates in Mindanao, but this changed significantly after the impeachment.
He cited that surveys after the impeachment showed a drop in support for Alyansa candidates in Mindanao, particularly in Bisaya-speaking areas.
Tiangco observed that Mindanao voters now seem to choose candidates based on their stance regarding the impeachment rather than personal preference.
He believes the election losses are a self-inflicted wound by those who initiated the impeachment complaint.
Tiangco questioned the rationale behind pursuing the impeachment, given that the Senate trial was scheduled for June 2, suggesting it was a politically motivated move.
