UniTeam Alliance

The UniTeam Alliance was an electoral alliance in the Philippines formed to support the candidacies of Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte in the 2022 presidential and vice-presidential elections and their allies in the 2022 Philippine general election.[5][6][7][8] The alliance was formalized on November 29, 2021, with Senator Imee Marcos coining the name UniTeam.[9]

It was clarified that the UniTeam Alliance was only made for the purpose of the 2022 election,[10] and no formal meeting has been held among its members as an alliance since then.[11]

The alliance consists of four political parties:[5]

In addition, the alliance's senatorial slate features guest candidates from the Nacionalista Party, Kilusang Bagong Lipunan (KBL), Nationalist People's Coalition (NPC), PDP–Laban, and People's Reform Party (PRP). Except for the NPC, all of the aforementioned parties are allied with Marcos and Duterte.[19]
