Angkasangga Surges to Poll Lead, Projected to Secure at Least Two Seats

Angkasangga Partylist has zoomed to the top of the latest OCTA Research’s Tugon ng Masa survey, assuring itself of at least two seats in Congress.

The survey, conducted from April 20 to 24, 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 April 10 to 16 OCTA Survey, where it garnered 1.98 percent and was projected to win just one seat.

“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. Among Angkasangga’s advocacies is to integrate motorcycles into the national transport plan, as thousands of informal workers, tricycle drivers, vendors, and freelancers depend on it for their livelihood. Mr. 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 Associations (TODA).
