The senior deputy majority leader says the PFP-Lakas alliance espouses unity, and is consistent with his father President Marcos' message during the May 2022 polls. 

"I guess we are starting to see the mobilization of the different political factions and of course...the unity of these different political factions coming together," Rep. Marcos said. 

"If you listen to the speech of the President during the PFP oath-taking, I believe he said that was his intent to be able to bring in as many of the parties as possible for the 2025 polls," he said.
