# TEAM Unity

TEAM Unity (acronym of Together Everybody Achieves More) was an electoral alliance in the Philippines that contested the 2007 Philippine general election. Its candidates were supporters of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and her administration. The alliance sought to win several Senate and House seats to protect Arroyo from impeachment attempts. Politicians who opposed the Arroyo administration formed their own electoral alliance, Genuine Opposition (GO), to challenge TEAM Unity.
In the Senate election, TEAM Unity won only two of the 12 contested seats. In 2011, due to an electoral protest, TEAM Unity's Senator Migz Zubiri lost his seat to GO's Koko Pimentel. TEAM Unity was more successful in the House elections, winning 142 out of 218 district seats.

## Program

TEAM Unity's main program for Filipinos, referenced in its slogan, was "Our priority agenda is to work for the future of our children."

## Slogan

The coalition's slogan for the election was "MaS PARA SA KiDZ Mo" (lit. 'More for Your Kids'). It was devised by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo during the Lakas–CMD National Convention on April 12, 2007. It is an acronym of the candidates' names, with Ma standing for Magsaysay, S standing for Singson, P standing for Pichay, A standing for Angara, R standing for Recto, A standing for Arroyo, S standing for Sotto, A standing for Aquino-Oreta, Ki standing for Kiram, D standing for Defensor, Z standing for Zubiri, and Mo standing for Montano.
