TheKoalisyon ng Daang Matuwid (Lit.: Coalition of the Right Path) was the umbrella of the administration-backed presidential and senatorial line-up for the2016 Philippine Senate election. It is composed mostly of supporters ofMar Roxas, who announced his presidential bid after the endorsement ofPhilippine PresidentBenigno Aquino III during the event at the Club Filipino in July 2015. It is the remnant ofTeam PNoy which was formed by theLiberal Party along withAkbayan Citizens Action Party,Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino, theNacionalista Party, theNationalist People's Coalition and theNational Unity Party as its coalition members.
Their defeat in the presidential elections rendered the alliance nonexistent as they became the opposition bloc in the Senate, while most of the Liberal Party members in the House of Representatives joined the government-backedCoalition for Change. It was succeeded byOtso Diretso for the2019 Philippine Senate election with 8 candidates announced in December 2018.
A few days after hisfinal SONA, Pres. Aquino endorsed Sec.Mar Roxas to be theirstandard bearer in 2016,[1][2] after Sen.Grace Poe failed to agree to be Aquino's presidential bet in 2016, and instead she preferred to be Roxas' running mate,pitting againstJejomar Binay -Gregorio Honasan tandem.
After Roxas had officially announced his candidacy in October 2015, he chooses incumbentCamarines Sur 3rd District RepresentativeLeni Robredo, widow of formerDILG SecretaryJesse Robredo as his vice presidential candidate at the Club Filipino where she accepted.
