MANILA, Philippines \u2014 President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s political party on Wednesday inked a formal alliance with the country’s dominant party, laying the groundwork for the launch of his administration’s senatorial slate ahead of the 2025 midterm elections.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During the alliance signing of the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) and Lakas – Christian Muslim Democrats (Lakas-CMD), the largest House power bloc which Speaker Romualdez is president of, Marcos also expressed plans to rebuild the “UniTeam” coalition that swept him to power in the 2022 presidential elections.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lakas-CMD, the dominant political party in Congress, has 100 House lawmakers as members, constituting a third of the whole lower chamber.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The PFP counts among its ranks the most number of local executives, estimated at 45%, according to PFP president and South Cotabato Gov. Reynaldo Tamayo Jr.<\/p>\n
“Kagaya ng ating ginawa sa nakaraang halalan ay bubuoin uli natin… We have to formalize it because may political cycle, so bubuoin na uli natin at maifo-formalize uli natin ang UniTeam,” the president said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
(As we did in the last election, we will form it again… We have to formalize it because there is a political cycle, so we will form it again and we will for malize UniTeam again.)<\/p>\n
Marcos and his allies have yet to announce the candidates they will field for the 2025 midterm elections.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The president earlier told the PFP to form more alliances with political parties ahead of the midterm polls, includin g Lakas-CMD, NPC (Nationalist People\u2019s Coalition, NP (Nacionalista Party) and the NUP (National Union Party).<\/p>\n
During the alliance signing event at Manila Polo Club, Sen. Ramon Revilla told reporters that Lakas-CMD remains open to tying up with other political parties, including Vice President Sara Duterte’s Hugpong ng Pagbabago, saying: “Malapit pa rin naman si Pangulong Bongbong kay Vice President Inday Duterte (President Bongbong is still close to Vice President Inday Duterte).”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lakas-CMD and PFP form part of the UniTeam all iance that launched the Marcos-Duterte ticket in the 2022 elections. \u2014 Cristina Chi<\/p>\n
MANILA, Philippines \u2014 Dumagsa ang sangkaterbang tao sa hara p ng Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) sa pag-asang makukubra na nila ang mahigit “P100 trilyong kayamanan ng Pilipinas.” Pero paglilinaw ng BSP, hindi naman sila nagbibigay ng pera.<\/p>\n
Miyerkules kasi nng dayuhin ng libu-libong tao sa pangunguna ni Gilbert Langres, founder ng Democratic and Republican Guardians Philippines Inc., ang tanggapan ng BSP. Aniya, ngayon raw kasi ito ipapamahagi.<\/p>\n
“Konting panahon na lang ay lalaya na ang sambayanang Pilipino sa kahirapan… Sa panahon ni [Pangulong Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr.], kinakailangan ilabas na ang kayamanang nakatago sa Bangko Sentral na ang tagapagmana ay sambayanang Pilipino,” ani Langres sa panayam ng dzRH.<\/p>\n
“Ang initial natin dito, para mai-claim na ng taumbayan ang nakatagong kayamanan na narito sa Bangko Sentral ng Republika ng Pilipinas… Fully matured na ang kayamanan. Kaya sa panahon ni PBBM, kailangan na mailabas na ito.”<\/p>\n
Tinawag ng grupong “Claimant Holder Taker Celebration Day” ang ika-8 ng Mayo para makuha aniya ang naturang halaga.<\/p>\n
Nahikayat pumila sa labas ng BSP ang ilang residente ng Pangasinan, Antipolo, Southern Luzon, atbp. lugar. Marami sa mga nabanggit ay may edad na.<\/p>\n
“Ito’y representation hindi sa samahan ng Democratic nd Republican Guardians… kundi ito ay representasyon mula Luzon, Visayas at Mindanao bilang mamamayang Pilipinong tagapagmana ng kayamanang nakatago rito partikularmente sa [BSP],” dagdag ni Langres.<\/p>\n
“Ang initial na pondong ating ipinaglalaban since 2016 pa na nandito pa kami ay more than P100 trillion printed with a back up of gold.”<\/p>\n
Bagama’t nagpakita ang grupo ng dokumentong “nagpapatunay” aniya sa naturang kayamanan, hindi nila madiretso sa mga mamamahayag kung saan ito nagmula.<\/p>\n
Inilinaw naman ng BSP sa panayam ng Philstar.com ngayong araw na hindi bahagi ng kanilang trabaho ang pamumudmod ng pera sa mga indibidwal.<\/p>\n
Wika ng central bank, nakikipagtulungan ang kanilang tanggapan sa gobyerno para “magpalago ng ekonomiya, mapanatiling matatag ang presyo ng mga bilihin at lumikha ng mga hanapbuhay.”<\/p>\n
“Nais linawin ng BSP na hindi ito direktang nagbabahagi ng salapi sa taumbayan,” sabi ng BSP ngayong araw.<\/p>\n
“Sa halip, ang BSP ay nagbibigay ng dibidendo sa pamahalaan upang maka-ambag sa mga programang makapag-aangat ng kabuhayan ng mga Pilipino.”<\/p>\n
Taong 2023 lang nang linawin ng BSP wala itong hinahawakang 400,000 metrikong toneladang “Tallano Gold” mula kay dating Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Sr.<\/p>\n
Bahagi ito ng matagal nang tsismis\u00a0o haka-hakang\u00a0gagamitin ito ni Bongbong para “bayaran ang utang ng Pilipinas.”<\/p>\n
Una nang sinabi ni Bongbong na hindi pa niya nakikita mismo ang gintong ito,\u00a0na sinasabi ng ilan na ipapamahagi sa publiko oras na siya’y maging presidente.<\/p>\n
Biro pa ni Marcos Jr., magandang ipagbigay alam sa kanya kung makita ito dahil “kailangan niya ang ginto.”<\/p>\n
Sa kabila ng myth tungkol sa Tallano Gold, ilang beses nang\u00a0kinilala ng Korte Suprema noong\u00a02003,\u00a02012\u00a0at\u00a02017\u00a0na merong nakaw na yaman ang pamilyang Marcos.<\/p>\n
Tinatayang nasa\u00a0$5 bilyon hanggang $10 bilyon\u00a0ang ill-gotten wealth na ibinulsa ni Marcos Sr., na kilala sa human rights violations matapos ideklara ang Martial Law.\u00a0\u2014 may mga ulat mula kay The STAR\/Keisha B. Ta-asan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
