DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF THE PHILIPPINES

During a presidential debate, Montemayor insinuates that fellow aspirant Isko Moreno received funds from Bill Gates for his 2022 campaign. Moreno shoots down this false claim during the debate itself, disclosing that the P16-million grant from Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, received in February 2020, was for toilet and sanitation projects in low-income communities.

As a cardiologist, Montemayor made ending the pandemic the first point in his 10-point plan. This consists of replacing military personnel at checkpoints with health workers and considering “alternative medicine.” He also intends to abolish mandatory testing and the task force that was created to address the pandemic. 

Montemayor says that all the talk and promises about helping nurses should be put into action.

His economic platform focuses on employment, poverty alleviation, economic prosperity, and caring for overseas Filipino workers.

At a presidential debate, Montemayor clashed with a pro-labor candidate on raising the minimum wage. He said this should be "balanced" with employers' needs.

His 10-point plan includes revitalizing the land with "agricultural smart technology."

Montemayor intends to continue the war on drugs but says without extrajudicial killings. 

Montemayor says he will sever all diplomatic relations with China, seize the West Philippine Sea by force, and strengthen diplomatic ties with the US and its allies in the region, as well as ASEAN and other regional powers like Japan.

While Montemayor has yet to explicitly state his views on many hot-button topics, his campaign slogans like “Sa gabay ng Diyos, ang bansa ay aayos," and his platform’s emphasis on "Christ-centered governance" indicate conservative views on these issues. He has indicated in a presidential debate that he is against divorce.

While eliminating corruption is one of the candidate’s main thrusts, his emphasis is on reforming the justice system rather than good governance. He also wants to digitize government services as a way to reduce options for bribery.
