Wazzup Pilipinas!
This is a repost of tweets posted on Twitter by journalist Tonio Cruz. Reposting for more awareness. These hopefuls are alternative candidates we could try for the government.
Makabayan nominees are led by a former cabinet member, a summa cum laude graduate, a lawyer for EJK victims, anti-Duterte resistance leaders, and experts on consumer rights, special education, PH languages.
The administration’s bungling pandemic response compelled #Makabayan partylists to hold “hybrid” conventions: with limited number of attendees at venues and other participants joining via Zoom video conference.
After a rout in 2019 and the mass killings of its leaders including party chair Randall Echanis, @AnakpawisPL partylist seeks a return to Congress.
Former Agrarian Reform secretary Rafael “Ka Paeng” Mariano is first nominee of Anakpawis.
Mariano served alongside Vice President @lenirobredo, DSWD Sec. Judy Taguiwalo, NAPC Sec. Liza Maza and DENR Sec. Gina Lopez.
They were dubbed as the best and most progressive cabinet members, but Duterte either fired them or had the Commission on Appointments reject them.
Mariano was Anakpawis partylist representative from 2004-2013, and former chair of @kmp_phl.
Other Anakpawis nominees are trade union leader Lana Linaban of @kilusangmayouno, community leader Doy Marizeta, and peasant leader Isabelo Adviento of Cagayan province.
At its convention, perennial partylist topnotcher @BayanMuna chose former Rep. @teddycasino as first nominee.
Also nom'd by @BayanMuna are: Rep. @FerdinandGaite, Moro Christian Peoples Alliance leader @AmirahLidasan, lawyer @chronikrissys, former lawmaker Pepito Pico, John Ruiz of Central Visayas, and Roman Polintan of Central Luzon.
Gaite is a leader of public sector unions.
Bayan Muna third nominee @AmirahLidasan seeks to represent the Bangsamoro and other national minorities. She is former NUSP national president, and currently a leader of Moro Christian Peoples Alliance and Sandugo.
Bayan Muna's fourth nominee is lawyer @chronikrissys of @nuplphilippines - counsel for families of victims of extrajudicial killings who filed a case against Duterte at the International Criminal Court.
Youth party @KabataanPL voted math whiz @iamRaoulManuel as first nominee.
He is @UPVOfficial's first-ever summa cum laude graduate, former @uposr, and former @NUSPhilippines national president.
Among others, Kabataan's Manuel famously made a cry-baby senator throw a tantrum at a hearing
Manuel will be a great replacement for multi-awarded Rep. @sarahelago
Other @KabataanPL nominees are: Angelica Galimba from Ilocos, @NUSPhilippines prez @JandeilRoperos, UPLB's Jianred Faustino, UP Mindanao's Jayvie Cabajes, Vince Alloso of University San Carlos, and RJ Ledesma of Bacolod.
@GabrielaWomenPL, the leading women’s voice in Congress, picked a doctor from Davao as second nominee.
Human rights champion Dr. Jean Lindo joins first nominee Rep. @ArleneBrosas and third nominee Lucy Francisco, a consumer leader from Panay island.
For @ACT_Teachers, its first nominee is @repfrancecastro, the former master teacher-turned-lawmaker.
Castro's demand for Mocha Uson's appearance before the House budget deliberations in 2018 led to the latter's resignation from the PCOO.

Joining Castro as @ACT_Teachers nominees are former Rep. @tonchi Tinio, poet and essayist Dr. David Michael San Juan of DLSU, SPED teacher Helene Dimaukom of Cotabato City, and Fabian Hallig.
San Juan is a champion of PH languages.
Anakpawis nominated Elmer "Bong" Labog, chair of @kilusangmayouno, as senatorial candidate.
@BayanMuna endorsed Neri @ColmenaresPH for senator, under the banner of #Makabayan.
