Ang Probinsyano is the third top contender in the May 9 party-list race, the latest Pulse Asia Ulat ng Bayan national survey showed.
The survey, conducted from March 17-21, showed that four party-list groups were projected to earn the maximum three seats to the House of Representatives.
ACT-CIS, Ako Bicol, Ang Probinsyano, and An Waray groups were poised to gain the maximum three seats to the House, as all scored better than 3.0 rating points.
Ang Probinsyano party-list (No. 50), which pushes for access to livelihood, education, food, and health for probinsyanos or people in the countryside, posted 4.48 percent voter preference.
Rep. Alfred Delos Santos said they are grateful to be on the top of mind of voters.
“We are honored by the people’s trust, as we seek to reinforce our commitment for the development of remote areas for our country’s overall progress,” Delos Santos said.
Voted as the country’s fifth top party-list group on its maiden foray into politics during the 2019 elections, Ang Probinsyano posted a remarkable showing on its first three years in office, providing relief packs to 56, 243 beneficiaries amidst the pandemic; financial assistance to 33,359 beneficiaries; COVID-19 care packs to 12,549 beneficiaries; educational assistance to 7,880 students; and medical assistance to 4,174 beneficiaries, among others.
