At the PFP’s “Tugon at Aksyon sa Pag-unlad” gathering at the Manila Hotel yesterday, Marcos vouched for the competence and integrity of the PFP bets, including those from allied parties.

“What we want to be the result – of course we always think, it should be first, in the Senate 12-0, that’s what we’re after,” the President said, drawing applause from national and provincial party members.

“And at the local (level), it should be 100 percent because our members at the local level are the best,” he said.

“And we have gathered, I believe, the best people and the most effective public servants in the Philippines under our umbrella now at PFP and under the entire alliance,” the Chief Executive added.

Formed in 2018, PFP is chaired by Marcos.
