Nancy Binay, Dick Gordon, Mitos Magsaysay, JV Ejercito, Jack Enrile, Gringo Honasan, Bro. Eddie Villanueva and Cynthia Villar gained the support of the Lakas party.
Nancy Binay has received support from a group outside her father's circle for the first time. The candidacy of Vice President Jejomar Binay's daughter was endorsed by the political party of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Leyte Representative Ferdinand Martin Romualdez, president of former President Arroyo's Lakas Christian Muslim Democrats (CMD) explained that Binay belongs from the last batch of candidates they will be supporting for May elections.
According to Romualdez in a press conference, after a consensus, they will also include in the list the names of Richard Gordon, Bro. Eddie Villanueva and Cynthia Villar.
The United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) headed by chairman and Senator Ramon "Bong" Revilla, also endorsed Zambales Representative Mitos Magsaysay and San Juan City Representative JV Ejercito.
The ten senatorial candidates who are being supported by Arroyo's political party were completed by Cagayan Representative Juan Ponce "Jack" Enrile and re-electionist Senator Gringo Honasan.
