Title Marcos Fires Back at Duterte Counting Senators to Ensure None Hit by Grenade

As the Philippine midterm elections draw near, political tensions are escalating. The latest development is President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s response to former President Rodrigo Duterte's inflammatory remarks about killing 15 senators with a bomb to create vacancies for his endorsed candidates.

At a campaign rally in Pasay City, Marcos took aim at Duterte, highlighting the administration's commitment to clean and respectful campaigning. I'm just counting our candidates because I want to ensure that no one has been hit by a grenade, he said, cleverly referencing Duterte's remarks.

The President emphasized the differences between the Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas coalition and other candidate groups. You won't hear anything like that from us. That's what makes Alyansa different from all the other candidates running in this election, Marcos noted. He stressed that the administration's senatorial bets were not engaged in cursing or acts of intimidation, unlike some other campaigns.

The 12 senatorial candidates endorsed by the administration are a diverse group with strong government experience. This includes Erwin Tulfo and Camille Villar from the House of Representatives, as well as reelectionist senators Francis Tolentino, Lito Lapid, Bong Revilla, Pia Cayetano, and Imee Marcos.

Marcos underscored the importance of electing competent candidates who can effectively address the country's pressing issues. Fellowmen, the direction of the Alyansa is clear in their speeches and aspirations for the country – it's progress, not fighting or oppression. What we need is progress, not threats or shouting, he said.

He also emphasized the administration's commitment to protecting the country's sovereignty and sovereign rights through diplomacy and dignity, rather than relying on bloody war or operations like Philippine offshore gaming operators (POGO).

As the campaign season heats up, Marcos is confident that the Alyansa's message of progress and unity will resonate with voters. With 7.32 million registered voters in Metro Manila alone, this battleground region is crucial to winning the election.

In conclusion, President Marcos Jr.'s latest remarks demonstrate his commitment to a clean and respectful campaign, countering Duterte's inflammatory rhetoric with humor and humility. As the May midterm elections approach, it remains to be seen whether the Alyansa's message will prevail in the face of intense competition.
