Party List Candidates

FYI to my fellow first time voters:

-Apart from picking your district representative (your congressman/congresswoman), you are also entitled to pick ONE party-list group for Congress.

-What is a party-list? A party list is basically a large interest group representing different causes and sectors in society (labor groups, youth, women, LGBT, environment, etc). Party list winners are given a seat in the Lower House to be among the representatives for legislation, etc. Basically party-list representatives do not stand for areas, but rather for groups.

-The full list of Party List candidates can be found in the COMELEC website, or follow this link:
