DuterTen (stylized as Duter10 or Duter–Ten) is a major opposition coalition for the 2025 Philippine Senate election. It was formed to oppose the Marcos administration-backed Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas and support the senatorial candidates allied with former President Rodrigo Duterte. The DuterTen is headed by Partido Demokratiko Pilipino, which formed coalition agreements with Partido para sa Demokratikong Reporma and Pederalismo ng Dugong Dakilang Samahan.
Etymology
[edit]
The coalition's name, DuterTen, is a portmanteau of "Duterte" and the number "ten", referring to the senatorial candidates endorsed and supported by former president Rodrigo Duterte.[1]
History
[edit]Formation
[edit]
On September 20, 2024, Partido Demokratiko Pilipino formed an alliance with Partido para sa Demokratikong Reporma, Pederalismo ng Dugong Dakilang Samahan and Mayor Rodrigo Roa Duterte–National Executive Coordinating Committee (MRRD–NECC) for the 2025 Philippine Senate election. Greco Belgica of PDDS and Pantaleon Alvarez of Reporma signed the agreement.[2]
Filing of candidacies
[edit]In October 2024, the initial three PDP senatorial nominees, re-electionists Ronald dela Rosa and Bong Go, and Phillip Salvador, filed their candidacies. Singer-lawyer Jimmy Bondoc, former Cagayan Economic Zone Authority administrator Raul Lambino, and former Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission commissioner Jayvee Hinlo also filed their bids for senator under the PDP banner.[3]
Three independent Duterte-allied senatorial candidates, former Executive Secretary Vic Rodriguez, SAGIP Partylist representative Rodante Marcoleta, and evangelist pastor Apollo Quiboloy, were also added into the lineup, ending up with nine senatorial candidates. Eric Martinez, PDP vice president for Luzon and an independent senatorial candidate, opted not to join the slate as he intended to "discharge any political bandages."[4] The PDP formally launched its senatorial slate on February 13, 2025, at the Club Filipino in San Juan, Metro Manila.[5]
On April 10, 2025, pediatrician and content creator Richard Mata, an independent senatorial candidate and uncle of Bong Go, officially joined the slate, completing the DuterTen lineup.[1]
DuterTen+2
[edit]Sara Duterte's +2
[edit]After Duterte's arrest on March 11, 2025, his daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte, has actively campaigned for the DuterTen lineup. In April 2025, Sara Duterte also endorsed presidential sister and incumbent senator Imee Marcos and Las Piñas representative Camille Villar of rival Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas.[6] Marcos obtained the endorsement of Vice President Duterte after bolting the Alyansa, her brother's senatorial slate.[7] and two appeared on a television advertisement wearing black shirts.[8][9][10] On May 10, 2025, the PDP formally adopted Marcos and Villar as guest candidates of the DuterTen slate.[11]
Paolo and Rodrigo Duterte's +2
[edit]Former president Duterte and his son, Davao City 1st district representative Paolo Duterte, fielded their own two additional candidates: former senator Gregorio Honasan and former Marine officer and Medal of Valor awardee Ariel Querubin. Notably, both Querubin and Honasan were former military officers with the rank of full colonel.[12]
