PDP Laban’s Senatorial Slate Unveils Miting de Avance
Partido ng Demokratiko Pilipino Lakas ng Bayan (PDP Laban) officially kicked off their miting de avance on Thursday afternoon at Liwasang Bonifacio, Manila. This event comes just four days before the 2025 national and local elections. The rally gathered supporters and highlighted the party’s commitment to the upcoming polls.
Among the 10 candidates endorsed by former President Rodrigo Duterte, who is also the party chairman, are three incumbent lawmakers. These include reelectionist Senators Bong Go and Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa, as well as Sagip party-list Representative Rodante Marcoleta.
Diverse Slate Includes Lawyers, Doctor, Actor, and Pastor
Aside from the incumbents, PDP Laban’s senatorial slate features four lawyers: Atty. Jimmy Bondoc, Atty. Jayvee Hinlo, Atty. Raul Lambino, and Atty. Vic Rodriguez. The group also includes Dr. Richard Mata, actor Philip Salvador, and Pastor Apollo Quiboloy, who is currently detained.
These candidates, collectively known as the “DuterTEN,” have expressed strong political stances. They are calling for the return of Rodrigo Duterte from The Hague, Netherlands. Furthermore, they vow to block any impeachment moves against Vice President Sara Duterte if elected.
Vice President Sara Duterte’s Endorsement and Support
Vice President Sara Duterte, who has also thrown her support behind the DuterTEN, is expected to attend the miting de avance. Her endorsement adds significant weight to PDP Laban’s campaign efforts. This alliance highlights the party’s strategy to unify supporters under the Duterte banner.
As the campaign period nears its close, PDP Laban’s senatorial bets remain focused on rallying voters. Their platform emphasizes loyalty to the Duterte legacy and strong political alliances, aiming to secure a solid presence in the Senate come election day.
