With just five days to go before the 2025 national elections, Kaunlad Pinoy Partylist took to Facebook to thank its growing base of supporters nationwide, signaling strong momentum heading into the polls.

“Advance thank you mula sa buong Kaunlad Pinoy 133! Mga ka-tropa, ka-puso, at ka-barangay — salamat sa tiwala, hindi kayo mawawala sa alaala! Tuloy ang asenso, tuloy ang Kaunlad!” the group posted. (Advance thank you from the entire Kaunlad Pinoy 133! To our friends, loved ones, and fellow community members — thank you for your trust, you will never be forgotten! Progress continues, Kaunlad continues!)

Kaunlad Pinoy’s campaign has gained ground with its focus on protecting micro-entrepreneurs, supporting sari-sari store owners, and fighting for better access to resources for informal workers. Its leaders have been making the rounds in urban poor communities, wet markets, and TODA terminals, pushing for inclusive economic growth and grassroots livelihood programs.

“We are humbled by the trust and hope people have placed in us,” said Kaunlad Pinoy Partylist first nominee Kuya Choi. “If elected, we promise to fight for small businesses and workers who are too often left behind.”

With fliers, tarpaulins, and tricycle posters spreading Kaunlad Pinoy’s bright blue-and-yellow message, many supporters say they finally feel heard in a political arena usually dominated by bigger players.

“They’re the only ones who actually visited our community and listened to our problems,” shared a supporter from Taguig. “That’s why they have our vote.”
