“In line with the initiatives launched by President Duterte and Senator Bong Go in the regions, we will bring our Visayan compatriots closer to the government’s economic services that address the issue of food, housing and education,” Garay said in the statement.
“We hope that our Visayan brothers and sisters will take part in the aspiration of equitable development in our country and the growth of culture, wealth and capacity of the Visayas,” he said. Celine Pialago, former spokesperson of MMDA and also a spokesperson of NTF-Elcac, filed a CONA on Oct. 6 to represent the Malasakit Movement party-list group.“They are using the party-list system as a backdoor entry or getting back into power,” said Zarate.
“Political dynasties really thrive not only by vying for regular seats, but also in the party-list system,” she told CNN Philippines in 2019, saying that there should be a law that will “reform this and at least prohibit the nominees who are related to a sitting, elected official.” Anna Villaraza-Suarez, wife of Quezon governor David Suarez, a re-electionist, filed CONA as a nominee of Alona, a party-list group fighting poverty.
Marie Abante, wife of Rep. Benny Abante of the 6th District of Manila, filed CONA as nominee of PEACE, a party-list group representing education.
