Marcos bets campaign in Robredo bailiwick

In a bid to solidify support for the administration in the Bicol Region, the Alyansa Para sa Bagong Pilipinas' senatorial slate brings its campaign to Camarines Sur, a known stronghold of former vice president Leni Robredo, on March 7, 2025. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. courted residents to pick all 12 senatorial candidates, saying the administration-backed ticket is a 'dream team.' During the pre-rally press conference, Alyansa candidates push for the institutionalization of the government's Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), instead of creating other financial assistance schemes. The administration ticket also promised to do more to empower women ahead of the International Women’s Day celebrations on March 8. Camarines Sur, home to over 1.5 million voters, is among the 15 provinces where President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. did not dominate in the last presidential elections. Based on the official canvass of Congress, Robredo garnered 89 percent of the vote in the province — 958,905 in contrast to Marcos’ 102,921.
