Coalition-building as an exercise in political shape-shifting
LAST week, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. announced that his political party, the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas, has entered into an alliance with the National Unity Party as he seeks to expand the Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas, a coalition he is building ahead of next year's midterm election.The NUP is the fourth party to join the Alyansa, and many more political groups are expected to sign up.
In April, first lady Liza Araneta-Marcos clapped back at the vice president for allowing her father to vilify the President.Last June 19, Sara Duterte closed the short but stormy chapter on UniTeam by announcing she was quitting her Cabinet posts.President Marcos, however, seems intent on writing a new book altogether by launching the Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas.
