Kaunlad Pinoy 133 continues to make strides in promoting economic empowerment, financial literacy and sustainable entrepreneurship as part of its broader mission to build a thriving NegoNation.

This past week, the movement engaged with local communities across various cities and provinces, reinforcing its commitment to these values through voter education initiatives, business mentorship programs and strategic partnerships.

A call to service

The week kicked off in Alaminos, Laguna, where Kaunlad Pinoy witnessed the oath-taking ceremony of the Federated Civic Organization of Alaminos. As local leaders pledged to serve the public, Kaunlad Pinoy emphasized its mission to create a self-sustaining economy with opportunities for every Filipino.

“With each leader’s oath, a new promise of progress is made,” said the party-list, reinforcing its commitment to the advancement of the country.

Strengthening ties

Midweek, Kaunlad Pinoy took its advocacy to Manila’s 5th District and Norzagaray, Bulacan.

Led by its first nominee, James “Kuya Choi” Napoles, the movement held discussions focused on financial literacy, business education and livelihood programs.

These visits provide a platform for business owners to connect with the party’s plans for economic growth.

In Manila, Napoles shared plans for the establishment of a local headquarters to serve as a hub for training, mentorship and business networking.

In Norzagaray, the event attracted large crowds eager to discuss small business growth, further cementing the movement’s presence in the region.

A thousand voices

The energy continued in Quezon City’s Balonbato area, where over 1,000 residents of the city and Caloocan gathered for an economic empowerment event.

Here Napoles stressed, “The votes are not for us, but for every Filipino who wants to stand on their own feet.”

He highlighted the benefits of Kaunlad Pinoy membership, including insurance coverage, access to affordable essentials and opportunities for business mentorship.

For a stronger NegoNation

In its effort to provide business opportunities for Filipinos, Kaunlad Pinoy formed new partnerships with iFern and the Marjanaz Cooperative.

Both organizations are dedicated to offering business opportunities and fostering financial growth. Through these collaborations, Kaunlad Pinoy aims to equip Filipinos with the tools and knowledge necessary for entrepreneurial success, furthering the goal of a stronger NegoNation.

For a better tomorrow

Kaunlad Pinoy’s advocacy also focuses on voter education. For three days, Kap. Ricky Juab led a campaign in Silang, Cavite, stressing the importance of informed voting: “Your vote is not just for today; it is for the future of the country,” he said.

In Iloilo, Kaunlad Pinoy supported market vendors by distributing aprons, symbolizing its commitment to helping small entrepreneurs thrive.

The week concluded in Quezon City with meetings between Kaunlad Pinoy and MRMM QC leaders from Districts 1 to 6, further strengthening the movement’s community influence.

With each initiative, Kaunlad Pinoy said it is working toward a stronger, self-reliant nation, bringing the vision of a thriving NegoNation closer to reality.
