Senator Risa Hontiveros on Sunday expressed her gratitude to the Liberal Party for including her on its list of senatorial candidates in the 2022 elections.
The Akbayan senator said she appreciated the support of LP, with whom her group is in a long-time alliance. LP has named Hontiveros as one of its five prospective senatorial candidates along with Senators Kiko Pangilinan and Leila de Lima, former Senator Bam Aquino and law expert Chel Diokno.
“I am grateful for the confidence of the Liberal Party. It is an honor to be part of their proposed list of ‘senatoriables,’” Hontiveros said.
“We, in my party, Akbayan, are also in the process of developing and uniting alternative choices of leaders for the 2022 Elections,” she said.
“Our lines of communication have always been open to other parties – including LP, our old coalition partner – to strengthen our alliances,” Hontiveros said.
“Akbayan is charting its own course and remains committed to building a united front that recognizes, in the fullest sense, the responsibility of fighting for and maintaining democratic principles,” she added.
“Akbayan’s fight for a fair and just society is also the fight of every other Filipino. We vow to continue to do our part in forging a broad and stable coalition,” she said.
