In his speech during the oathtaking of new members of the PFP, which he chairs, Marcos emphasized that alliances were not meant to "dominate the entire political scenery," but to bring Filipinos together for the country's peace and progress.

"The reason why we have been trying to put together was that during the last elections, we fought for unity ... and that's what the people seemed to have been looking for," the President said in his speech at the Diamond Hotel in Manila.

"Now, if you look at it, we have not yet been in office for two years... but in the short time, we have done a lot," he added.
