Anak Kalusugan Party List Stamps Its Mark in Southern Luzon and Western Visayas; Three PL Groups Take Early Lead

PULSO NG PILIPINO – Ten Party List groups are sure of getting reelected under the Party List system on May 12, 2025 and one newcomer.  These 11 Party List groups are assured of at least two seats each when the members of the incoming 20th Congress are sworn in on June 30, 2025.

Of the 11 Party List groups who may be assigned at least two seats in the incoming 20th Congress, one Party List group easily stands out as the most active in parlaying its role that is synonymous to its name. 

This Party List group is Anak Kalusugan that has reportedly stamped its mark principally in Southern Luzon and in Western Visayas and has been very active in the distribution of wheelchairs and other medical paraphernalia in many areas in the regions mentioned. The top two nominees of Anak Kalusugan which is gunning for reelection as a Party List are Rep. Ray Reyes who is the current nominee and former Lakas NUCD executive director during the Arroyo Administration and former Valderrama, Antique Mayor Ray Roquero who is the second nominee.

The final composition of the number of seats for the party list system will be known when the final count is tallied by the Commission on Elections using a complex formula to determine the structure of each party list group that will meet the threshold set under the law governing the party list system.

In the latest Pulso ng Pilipino pre-poll survey for the party list system conducted by the Issues and Advocacy Center on April 11-15 and on April 19-22, 2025, some 1,200 respondents were asked for their preferences and were shown the list of the 155 Party Listy groups that have been accredited by the Commission on Elections as having met the requirements for participation in the scheduled 2025 mid-term polls.

The respondents were simply asked which of the 155 Party List groups will they vote for if the elections are held on the dates the pre-poll survey was conducted. A showcard or list of Party List groups were shown to the respondents who were all registered voters in the barangays where the survey was conducted at the time. The Pulso ng Pilipino survey for the Party List system has a margin of error of + 3.5% and a confidence level of in excess of 95%. 

Eleven (11) Party List groups have initially reached the required percentage that will serve as qualifier in the apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives.

This early, however, at least three of these Party List groups that are in the winners’ circle will most probably end up with three seat each. These are: Duterte Youth, the Anti-Crime and Terrorism Community Involvement and Support or (ACT-CIS) and the Pagtibayin at Palaguin ang Pangkabuhayang Pilipino or (4Ps).

Topping the 11 Party List groups that have generated the required percentage that is representative of the sum total of the number of votes that are expected to be cast on May 12, 2025 is Duterte Youth with 10.8%. Not far behind is ACT-CIS with 9.3%. Third is 4Ps with 8.5%, followed in fourth position by the FPJ Panday Bayanihan with 5.7% and in fifth place is TGP with 4.3%, and Asenso Pinoy with 3.1%.

Also making it to the top 11 are Ako Bicol with 2.8%, COOP NATCCO in 8th spot with 2.5%, Senior Citizen is in 9th place with 2.4%, Anak Kalusugan is in 10th position with 2.3% and Bicol Saro with 2.0% and is in 11th place.

The other Party List groups that made it to the winners’ circle are: Agimat (1.9%), Tingog (1.85%), SSS-GSIS Pensiyonado (1.7%), Edukasyon (1.6%), 1-Rider Party List (1.33%), Murang Kuryente (1.32%), Malasakit@Bayanihan (1.28%), AGAP or Agricultural Sector Alliance of the Philippines (1.26%), Kabataan (1.24%), Manila Teachers (1.23%), Trabaho (1.2%), Trabaho (1.2%,), Magsasaka (1.18%), PBBM (1.17%).

The survey has a margin of error of ±3 percent at a 95-percent confidence level and provides subnational estimates with a ±6 percent margin of error for Metro Manila, Balance Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
