A former Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) commissioner is the third nominee of Arangkada Pilipino party-list when it filed its certificate of nomination and acceptance (CONA) for the 2025 midterm elections on Monday.
The group said part of its advocacy is to elevate the marginalized sector by providing scholarships and technical and vocational training.
Their third nominee is Manuelito Luna, a former Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) commissioner who was sacked by Duterte in 2020 after he called for an investigation of Vice President Leni Robredo for allegedly “competing” with the government on COVID-19 relief.
“Gusto natin mapataas ang antas ng pamumuhay ng sambayanan sa pamamagitan ng education, training, technical and vocational trainings, scholarships at mga legislation na layon mapabuti ang kalagayan at mabigyan ng trabaho ang ating mga mamayanan,” Luna said during the filing before the Commission on Elections (Comelec) at the Manila Hotel.
(We want to elevate people’s lives through education, training, technical and vocational training, scholarships and legislation that aims to give jobs to our citizens).
Arangkada Pilipino’s first nominee was not disclosed. Its second nominee is Ustadz Eisa Javier, a self-described Islamic propagator and media practitioner.
Meanwhile, ARTE party-list is also eyeing a House seat in the 2025 polls with first nominee Lloyd Lee, a Filipino-Chinese businessman and the husband of 2011 Miss Universe 3rd runner-up Shamcey Supsup.
Lee said his group would work on measures that support locally made products, particularly in the textile industry.
The party-list group ran in 2022 but did not get enough votes.
