Like most of the presidents who preceded him, President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. began moves on Thursday to consolidate his political machinery 20 months ahead of the May 12, 2025, midterm elections. The President inducted 14 provincial governors into the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas, a minor party founded in 2018 that had never won an election before Marcos garnered more than 31.6 million votes last year. The party's new members included the President's son, Ilocos Norte Rep. Ferdinand Alexander Marcos III, who bolted the Nacionalista Party to help in party building.
