Makati City Mayor and senatorial bet Abby Binay on Saturday, April, 26, urged Filipinos to support the full slate of the Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas party, stressing the crucial need for a unified team in the Senate to bring about real change and the fulfillment of campaign promises.

Binay said it is essential for elected candidates to have the same vision and aspirations for the benefit of Filipinos. She pointed out that a senator will not be able to single-handedly effect legislative reforms and innovations, hence the need for allies with mutual goals and principles in the Senate.

“I think we fail to realize that the Senate is a collegial body. Kahit maipanalo ko ang sarili ko, pero ’yung mga kasamahan ko na mananalo din ay hindi parehas ng adbokasiya, e ’di hindi ko rin mapu-push ’yung adbokasiya ko (Even if I managed to win, but my colleagues who have also won doesn't have the same advocacy as mine, then I won't be able to push through with my advocacy)," Binay explained.

“So hindi po puwede na ang kampanya ay ako lang. Kailangan po, ikakampanya lahat. Dahil anong mangyayari sa ’yo kung ikaw lang ang nanalo sa Senado at hindi mo kakampi ’yung mga kasama mo? Lahat po ng campaign promises mo, hindi mo magagawa because you will not get the support of your colleagues (So it's not possible for the campaign to be just me. We need to campaign for everyone. Because what will happen to you if you're the only one who wins at the Senate and your colleagues aren't on your side? You can't do all your campaign promises because you won't get the support of your colleagues)," she added.

Binay said the team uses the collective approach in the campaign, always focusing on them as a group rather than on individual candidates.

The other members of the Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas senatorial slate are Benhur Abalos, Pia Cayetano, Panfilo Lacson, Lito Lapid, Manny Pacquiao, Bong Revilla, Vicente Sotto III, Francis Tolentino, Erwin Tulfo, and Camille Villar.
