MANILA — The Partido Lakas ng Masa on Friday officially nominated labor leaders Leody de Guzman and Luke Espiritu as its candidates for the Senate race in 2025.

De Guzman and Espiritu, who both ran for senator in past elections, accepted their party's nomination during their convention in Marikina City.

"Tumakbo na naman akong Senador at saka Presidente kaya kung ano yung aking dala na plataporma [noon] ay yun pa din naman ulit dahil wala namang nabago eh," said De Guzman, who also ran for president in the 2022 elections.

"Tingin namin dapat ang i-tax na ngayon dahil sa hirap ng buhay ay yung mga bilyonaryo yung kumikita nang malaki," he added.

Espiritu, who ran unsuccessfully for the Senate in 2022, said he hoped to tap into the sector of society who are fed up with traditional politics.

He vowed to push for an anti-political dynasty bill if he makes it to the Senate.

"Dapat itong mga dynasty na ito itulak yan ng taongbayan para mag-harakiri na sila," Espiritu said.

De Guzman is the president of Partido Lakas ng Masa.

Meanwhile, Espiritu is the president of Bukluran ng Manggagawang Pilipino and also serves as legal counsel for Teachers Dignity Coalition, Philippine Movement for Climate Justice, and Power for People Coalition, focused on education, environmental, and energy issues in the country.
