The Koalisyon ng Daang Matuwid (Lit.: Coalition of the Straight Path) is the umbrella of the administration-backed presidential and senatorial line-up for the 2016 Philippine Senate election. It is composed of mostly supporter of former Department of the Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas who announced his presidential bid after the endorsement of Philippine President Benigno Aquino III during the event dubbed as "A Gathering of Friends" at the Club Filipino on July 31, 2015. It is the remnant of Team PNoy which was formed by the Liberal Party along with Akbayan Citizens Action Party, Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino, Nacionalista Party, Nationalist People's Coalition and the National Unity Party as its coalition members.
History
2016 Elections
Few days after his final SONA, Pres. Aquino will endorse Sec. Mar Roxas to be their standard bearer in 2016,[1][2] after Sen. Grace Poe-Llamanzares failed to agree to be Aquino's presidential bet in 2016, and instead she preferred to be Roxas' running mate, pitting against Jejomar Binay-Gringo Honasan tandem.
Vice Presidential nominee
After Roxas had officially announced his candidacy on October 5, 2015, he chooses incumbent Camarines Sur 3rd District Representative Leni Robredo, widow of former DILG Secretary Jesse Robredo as his Vice Presidential candidate at the Club Filipino where she accepted.
