In the latest Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey, 1Tahanan Partylist, a progressive political group, made waves by securing the 37th spot out of 55 party-list groups.
1Tahanan remains grateful for the trust and support they have garnered from the public. With their advocacy centered on empowering the Filipino people through “Makabayaning Pagtutulungan” (Patriotic Cooperation), the party-list group expressed their appreciation for the voters who believe in their mission.
1Tahanan Partylist’s position in the latest survey
The December 2024 SWS survey, which polled 2,097 registered voters nationwide, revealed that only eight of the 156 participating party-list groups garnered more than two percent of the votes. This threshold is critical under the party-list law, which guarantees a seat in the House of Representatives to groups that secure at least two percent of the vote.
While 1Tahanan Partylist did not break into the top eight, its rank of 37th in this highly competitive field is seen as a positive outcome. They have secured a solid foundation for their continued advocacy and work. “Pasalamat sa rank 37,” the group said, expressing gratitude to the public for their belief in their vision.
1Tahanan’s role in the growing political landscape
Despite being outside the top ranks, 1Tahanan Partylist’s performance is noteworthy. The party-list’s rank indicates growing support for their cause, with many Filipinos resonating with their focus on uplifting communities through cooperative efforts and national unity. As the group continues to fight for its mission of “Makabayaning Pagtutulungan,” they remain hopeful for a seat in the House of Representatives should the elections take place soon.
The Social Weather Stations survey, which was commissioned by Stratbase, suggests that party-list groups like 1Tahanan are still in the race for influence and representation. While many larger groups like 4Ps and ACT-CIS dominate the higher rankings, 1Tahanan’s steady position at 37 reflects a consistent following that is expected to grow in future elections.
What’s next for 1Tahanan Partylist?
Looking ahead, Tahanan Partylist aims to further strengthen its presence in the political landscape. The group remains committed to its advocacy and is determined to build more momentum as they continue to fight for the empowerment of Filipino citizens. While the upcoming elections will determine the final outcome, Tahanan is poised to be a significant voice in the future of the country’s governance.
