In the
upcoming 2022 Philippine National Elections, multiple Party Lists are vying for
positions in Congress through the advancement of their political platforms for
economic reform and social development. One of them is the Ako’y Pilipino or AP
Party List which is comprised of seasoned local politicians and entertainment
personalities.
Last
April 28, 2022, an enormous and lively crowd of Manileños flocked together
during the #164 AP Party List Grand Rally in Tondo, Manila City. The
star-studded gathering was hosted by DJ Jaiho and Betong Sumaya and was further
highlighted with the presence of prominent local celebrities like Michael de
Mesa, Angel Aquino, Raymart Santiago, John Prats, Marc Solis, John Medina, and
the Primetime King himself, Coco Martin. Participants were able to enjoy live
performances, interactive activities and the commitment to service pledged by
the #164 AP Party List.
Currently,
Rep. Ronnie Ong, who is an elected representative in the House of
Representatives of the Philippines of the 18th Congress, is the first nominee
of #164 AP Partylist that pushes for an equitable opportunity for all Filipinos
in relation to livelihood, transportation, education, and health. He is known
as the key proponent of the Foundling Welfare Act which aims to provide rights
and privileges to neglected or abandoned kids with foundlings’ citizenship
status.
Despite
being a newcomer in the policy-making arena, he championed policies by serving
as an author and co-author of multiple bills related to employment, education,
and protection of various vulnerable sectors such as children, senior citizens,
and persons with disability (PWD), and animal welfare. In addition to these legislative
advancements, he also initiated programs such as Tulong sa Senior Citizens Work
Program, E-learning Hubs, and No Paw Left behind.
Rep. Ong
was also one of the few legislators who extended assistance during the
onslaught of the COVID-19 by providing bicycles, fresh produces, transportation
services, and learning equipment through his #LibrengBisikleta, #LibrengGulay,
#LibrengSakay, and #LibrengTablet programs, respectively. Through such
initiatives, he was able to facilitate the alleviation of the negative impacts
of the pandemic to the most vulnerable members of society.
In the
2022 National Elections, #164 AP Partylist will strengthen its legislative
agenda on the following: (1) Accessibility to public (both land and water)
transportation; (2) Internet connectivity to communities in far-flung areas;
(3) Scholarship programs and educational assistance; (4) Mobile health services
thru “Health on Wheels”; (5) Employment opportunities to unemployed
individuals; (6) Anti-discrimination to Senior Citizens, PWDs, and Indigents;
and (7) Animal rights and welfare advocacies, among others.
