Angkasangga Partylist has emerged among the 45 party-list groups likely to win a seat in the House of Representatives, based on the latest Pulse Asia pre-election survey conducted ahead of the May 2025 midterm polls.
The survey, conducted from March 23 to 29 through face-to-face interviews with 2,400 randomly selected respondents nationwide, showed Angkasangga receiving a 0.63 percent voter preference. While still below the 2 percent threshold required for an assured seat under the party-list system, its inclusion in the top 45 suggests increasing public support and name recall.
Out of 155 accredited party-list groups vying for representation, only 45 would win at least one seat if the elections were held during the survey period.
Pulse Asia also reported that 99 percent of respondents are aware of the party-list system, indicating high voter engagement in this segment of the electoral process. Additionally, five party-list groups were identified as having a statistical chance of securing the maximum three seats.
Angkasangga’s first nominee, George Royeca — also the founder and CEO of transport platform Angkas — welcomed the results, citing them as an affirmation of the party’s outreach and advocacy efforts.
“We are deeply grateful for the growing support from our base. With less than a month to go, the latest survey results confirm what we’ve been feeling on the ground — our momentum is real, and our movement is resonating,” Royeca told DAILY TRIBUNE.
“The path ahead is clear, and we are confident that together, we are on track for a strong finish,” he added.
Angkasangga advocates for informal workers, gig economy participants, micro-entrepreneurs, and the youth — sectors the group says are underrepresented in legislation and government support programs.
Its platform includes proposed laws to improve labor protections, expand access to social services, and support small business growth.
Inclusion in the Pulse Asia survey is viewed by political observers as a significant development for lesser-known groups, helping boost their visibility, legitimacy, and chances of gaining votes ahead of election day.
