The UniTeam coalition, composed of presidential aspirant Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. and vice-presidential candidate Sara Duterte, has announced its official and partial senatorial candidates for the 2022 Eleksyon.

The announced senatorial bets include Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri, Deputy Speaker Rodante Marcoleta, lawyer Larry Gadon, former Public Works and Highways secretary Mark Villar, and former senator and Antique Rep. Loren Legarda.

Other candidates in the lineup are former presidential spokesman Harry Roque, former Senator Jinggoy Estrada, incumbent Senator Win Gatchalian, former Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista, and former defense secretary Gilberto "Gibo" Teodoro.

Marcoleta is described as UniTeam alliance's first pick, having been in Congress since 2013.

Gadon was chosen for his long-time support of Marcos Jr.'s team and his performance in senatorial surveys.

The addition of Senator Zubiri is seen as bolstering the ticket's position in Mindanao.
