TEAM Unity (Philippines)


Tahanan Ekonomiya Aktibo at Magsasaka Unity was the political multi-party electoral alliance of the administration-backed senatorial line-up for the 2007 Philippine Midterm Elections. TEAM Unity is composed mostly of supporters and erstwhile critics of ex-Philippine president, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. Team Unity sought to take several Senate seats in order to protect President Arroyo from impeachment attempts by the political opposition after the midterm elections.

Etymology

During the Lakas-CMD National Convention last April 12, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo devised an acronym for the 12 senatorial candidates of TEAM Unity which is: "MaS PARA SA KiDZ Mo" Ma stands for Magsaysay, S stands for Singson, P stands for Pichay, A stands for Angara, R stands for Recto, A stands for Arroyo, S stands for Sotto, A stands for Aquino-Oreta, Ki stands for Kiram, D stands for Defensor, Z stands for Zubiri, and Mo stands for Montano.

Program

TEAM UNITY's slogan and main program for Filipinos was "Our priority agenda is to work for the future of our children." while their secondary slogan was "Tulong Tulong sa Pagsulong". The opposing party, Genuine Opposition, used the slogan: Plan Co Revolt as a demonstrative threat to the Arroyo government.
