MANILA, Philippines — Administration-backed Alyansa Para Sa Bagong Pilipinas Senate slate will bring its campaign back to the Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon) region, completing the tour by visiting two remaining provinces as the election draws near.

Campaign manager and Navotas City Rep. Toby Tiangco on Wednesday said that Quezon province, Alyansa’s stop on Friday, will be playing a key role in the 2025 midterm polls as it is home to around 1.5 million registered voters across 39 municipalities.

“Quezon has always been a stronghold of civic energy and political influence,” Tiangco said. “We’re here to win trust, listen closely, and offer leaders who will deliver real results,” Tiangco said.

“Our message is simple: we are here to serve, not just to speak.  Alyansa wants to uplift provinces like Quezon with real programs, responsive leadership, and results-driven policies,” he added.

According to Tiangco, Alyansa’s platform will resonate with Quezon as the province’s economy is driven by industries related to agriculture, tourism, and small enterprises.

The main rally in Quezon province will be held in its capital, Lucena City, specifically at the Quezon Convention Center.

With Alyansa stopping at Quezon and visiting Batangas a day after, the administration-backed slate will have completed a tour of all Calabarzon provinces.

Alyansa was in Trece Martires, Cavite last March 11; Santa Rosa City, Laguna last March 22; and Antipolo City, Rizal last April 4.
