Angkasangga Partylist is deemed to have secured two seats in the House of Representatives, as the latest survey from a polling firm said its position has already zoomed to the top among partylist groups vying for the 12 May elections.
The survey, conducted from 20 to 24 April, showed Angkasangga Partylist garnering 2.51 percent of the vote, placing 13th overall—enough to secure two seats in the House of Representatives.
It was a significant jump for Angkasangga Partylist from the 10 to 16 April OCTA Survey, where it garnered 1.98 percent and was projected to win just one seat.
“We are overwhelmed and deeply grateful for the growing support of our fellow Filipinos,” said Angkasangga Partylist First Nominee George Royeca.
“Patunay lang ito na lumalakas na ang adbokasiya sa hanay ng mga manggagawa at motorcycle riders. Tayo ang magsisilbi nilang boses kapag tayo’y nakarating sa Kongreso,” he added.
Angkasangga’s advocacies include integrating motorcycles into the national transport plan, as thousands of informal workers, tricycle drivers, vendors, and freelancers depend on them for their livelihood.
Royeca also reiterated Angkasangga’s commitment to championing the rights and welfare of informal workers in Congress and addressing urgent issues like public transportation, job creation, and worker protection.
Angkasangga advocates for key labor reforms, including paid sick leave and government-mandated benefits for informal workers and accident insurance for members of the Tricycle Operators and Drivers Association (TODA).
