LPGMA Partylist Backs 'Macho Bloc' And Key Allies For 2025 Senate Race
FILE
Looks like the 2025 midterm elections are heating up. The LPGMA Partylist, with almost a million active members and voters, just announced who they’re throwing their weight behind for the Senate race – and it’s a big deal. Former Congressman Arnel Ty, who heads the LPGMA group and is one of their nominees for the partylist’s bid, shared some exciting names that are set to get their support.

First up on the list? The OG “Macho Bloc” of the Senate! Former senators Panfilo Lacson, Vicente Sotto III, and re-electionist Senator Lito Lapid are back in the running, and LPGMA is fully behind them. These three have long been seen as political heavyweights, and it looks like their comeback (or in Lapid's case, continued service) has the partylist’s seal of approval.

But that’s not all. LPGMA is also throwing its support behind some other big names: Department of the Interior and Local Government Secretary Benhur Abalos, and former Senators Bam Aquino and Gringo Honasan. With these six candidates, LPGMA is going all in, and Ty seems confident they’ve chosen wisely.

“We firmly believe these candidates have what it takes to serve in the Upper House of Congress, especially when it comes to improving the lives of our fellow Filipinos,” Ty explained, emphasizing why these six got the nod.

Now, while 12 senators will be elected in total, LPGMA decided to endorse just six. According to Ty, it’s all about quality over quantity – they want to back those they see as capable of truly delivering for the people.

On top of gearing up for the election season, LPGMA is also getting some star power on board. The cast of the popular TV series Batang Quiapo is already lined up to help in their campaign efforts. Talk about drawing a crowd!

Meanwhile, the partylist remains committed to its advocacy. They’re pushing hard for the continued enforcement of Republic Act 11592, the LPG Law, which aims to make homes safer and crack down on illegal activities in the industry. So, while they’re backing big names, they’re also sticking to their roots in public service.
