Sandro Marcos has left Partido Federal ng Pilipinas, the party of his father, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., and joined Lakas-CMD, according to Inquirer.net and The Global Filipino Magazine.
Manila Bulletin frames the move as a possible prelude to the 2028 elections, though no candidacy has been announced.
Lakas-CMD is the party associated with House Speaker Martin Romualdez, Sandro Marcos' uncle, according to The Global Filipino Magazine. The shift keeps the younger Marcos within the family's political circle while placing him in a different party from his father's.
Education Secretary Sonny Luistro said the addition would lift the spirits of Lakas-CMD members, ABS-CBN reported.
Politiko.com.ph reported that House Speaker Bojie Dy retains solid support in the House despite the switch.
The reports do not state a reason for the transfer, and none of the outlets cited here attributed one to Marcos.
What to watch next: whether Sandro Marcos or Lakas-CMD explains the move, and whether it reshapes party alignments ahead of 2028.
