Alyansa is framing itself as the ticket that will deliver real results for the Filipino people, focusing on key issues such as economic recovery, inflation control, job creation, and government efficiency. With 434,114 registered voters in Ilocos Norte, the province remains a critical base for the administration.

Binay's Social Agenda

Makati City Mayor Abby Binay has pledged to prioritize better healthcare and education, increase the purchasing power of workers by removing taxes on overtime pay and 13th month pay, and provide free medicines and pharmaceutical products for hypertension, diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and other diseases.

The Makabayan Bloc A Different Approach

Meanwhile, the Makabayan Bloc has kicked off its campaign in Manila, promising to end rotten politics in the country. The group says it's inspired by the ideals of Andres Bonifacio and other heroes, vowing to use a different approach that doesn't rely on billions of pesos or government machinery.
