After the elections, the Makabayan Coalition expressed gratitude to all supporters, campaigners, and voters for its 11 senatorial candidates and four party-list groups. The coalition assured everyone that it would continue to fight for the Filipino people’s democratic rights even after the campaign and elections.

The Makabayan senatorial candidates received from half a million up to 4.64 million votes. The four Makabayan party-list groups—ACT Teachers, Kabataan, Gabriela Women’s Party (GWP), and Bayan Muna–garnered a total of 1.08 million votes. Kabataan and ACT Teachers each secured one seat, while GWP and Bayan Muna failed to win.

According to the coalition, the votes and support they received are not merely numbers on a ballot, but proof of resistance against a rotten system that has long plagued the country. They said it symbolizes the number of Filipino workers fighting for higher wages and decent jobs, farmers standing up for their land rights, the youth seeking a just and free future, and other struggling democratic sectors.

Makabayan managed to launch a national campaign and gather millions of votes despite open cheating in the 2025 elections through automated machines, sustained and coordinated state forces attacks, relentless Red-tagging and repression, and disinformation campaign.

The coalition stood firm against these. They joined the demonstrations and pickets of Kontra Daya and Bagong Alyansang Makabayan in various parts of the country.

On May 13, the rallyists marched to the Manila Hotel in Manila, where Comelec held the national canvassing. On the same day, groups and parties launched protests in Iloilo City and Cavite City. On May 14, GWP protested again at the Manila Hotel, and demonstrations also took place in Quezon City, Trece Martires City in Cavite, Batangas, Laguna, Aklan, and Cebu. Similar protests occurred in the following days.

Groups also launched a big rally on May 19 at the Manila Hotel, coinciding with the proclamation of the winners in the party-list elections.
