MANILA – President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has once again emphasized the importance of unity in nation-building as the 2025 midterm elections draws closer.
According to the Chief Executive, unity is the only solution to the problems that the country are facing and his administration will continue to fight and live with it to help Filipinos.
“As we approach this political cycle…we will be filing (certificates of candidacy) already in October. The election is coming next year, in May,” President Marcos said.
“Pagka in preparation for all that, kailangan paalala natin sa ating mga sarili kung bakit natin ginagawa ito. Ginagawa natin ito dahil kailangan natin ang pagkakaisa,” he added.
“Kailangan natin ang pagkakaisa dahil ito ang tanging solusyon sa mga suliranin na hinaharap ng Pilipinas, kaya’t iyan ang patuloy natin na ipaglalaban, iyan ang patuloy natin…isasabuhay natin. Iyan ang patuloy na ating pangako at sumpa para tulungan ang bawat Pilipino,” he further said.
Unity was then-presidential candidate Marcos and then-vice presidential candidate Sara Duterte-Carpio’s rallying cry during the 2022 national elections.
President Marcos further said that UniTeam should be formalized anew to continue the political cycle that was started during the previous national elections.
“Pagka…kagaya ng ating ginawa sa nakaraang halalan, bubuoin uli natin,” the President said.
“Bubuoin uli natin at maifo-formalize uli natin ang UniTeam para naman pagkahumaharap tayo sa ating mga kinabukasan…tayo ay sabay-sabay na nagtutulungan, tayo ay sabay-sabay na kabalikat sa ating layunin na pagandahin ang Pilipinas, pagandahin ang buhay ng bawat Pilipino,” he added./PN
