Koalisyon ng Daang Matuwid
electoral alliance in the Philippines
The Koalisyon ng Daang Matuwid (lit. 'Coalition of the Straight Path') was the umbrella of the administration-backed presidential and senatorial line-up for the 2016 Philippine Senate election. It is composed mostly of supporters of Mar Roxas, who announced his presidential bid after the endorsement of Philippine President Benigno Aquino III during the event at the Club Filipino in July 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, the Nacionalista Party, the Nationalist People's Coalition and the National Unity Partyas 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-backed Coalition for Change. It was succeeded by Otso Diretso for the 2019 Philippine Senate election with 8 candidates announced in December 2018.
History
2016 Elections
A few days after his final SONA, Pres. Aquino endorsed Sec. Mar Roxas to be their standard bearer in 2016, 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 against Jejomar Binay - Gregorio Honasan tandem.
Vice Presidential nominee
After Roxas had officially announced his candidacy in October 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.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as electoral alliance in the Philippines. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 13, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q21190736. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2016, 2015, 2019 and 2018.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
