Call for genuine representation in the party list system backed
Partner feature

After election watchdog Kontra Daya revealed that 55 percent of party-list organizations running for the 2025 mid-term polls do not represent the marginalized sectors, a party list seeking seats this upcoming election backed this to bring back the integrity of the electoral system.

“We stand firmly with Kontra Daya in their advocacy to restore the integrity of the party list system and to ensure that it serves its true purpose — empowering the voiceless and uplifting the underserved communities,” CLICK Partylist said in a statement.

As a party list dedicated to advancing emerging technology, innovation, and digital literacy, CLICK Partylist said it is committed to the authentic representation of the underrepresented sectors.

“We recognize the importance of ensuring that the party list system remains a platform for genuine public service and not a vehicle for political dynasties, big businesses, or self-serving interests. We echo Kontra Daya's call for stricter measures in accrediting party list groups to prevent the continued hijacking of the system by political and economic elites. In line with this, we also support proposed legislative reforms to amend Republic Act No. 7941 or the Party-List System Act, to strengthen eligibility requirements and uphold the system’s integrity,” the partylist contender explained.

According to a study by Kontra Daya, 55.13 percent or 86 of 156 party-list groups seeking seats in the House of Representatives do not represent the poor or the underrepresented.

“Our commitment is to champion the causes of digital equity, technological empowerment, and inclusive innovation, particularly for communities that remain underserved in the digital age,” they stated.

CLICK partylist earlier called for the passage of a law that will provide a 20 percent student load discount on text, call, and mobile data.

“We call on all democratic forces, civil society, and voters to be vigilant and discerning in selecting party list groups that genuinely represent the marginalized. We must work together to reclaim the party list system as a tool for genuine representation and empowerment,” it said.
