“Sa Suporta sa Agrikultura, Panalo ang Masa.”

This was stressed by AGRI Party-list as it filed its Certificate of Candidacy (CoC) for reelection with its advocacy on protecting the rights and livelihood of farmers, fisherfolk, and other local food producers and continuing its fight for job security and improved healthcare in the country. 

During the last day of filing, the party-list’s Secretary General Ernanie Calica lodged its Certificate of Nomination and Acceptance (CONA) for the 2025 Elections. 

“Marami na tayong napagtagumpayan sa laban para sa agrikultura pero marami pang hamon ang dapat tugunan. Patuloy nating isusulong ang pangangailangan ng ating mga magsasaka, mangingisda, at iba pa nating agricultural workers na silang pinagmumulan ng pagkain sa hapag-kainan ng bawat pamilyang Pilipino,” said Cong. Wilbert “Manoy” Lee, AGRI’s Representative this 19th Congress who filed his CoC for Senator for the next elections. 

AGRI Party-list maintains its commitment to elevate the country’s agriculture sector to alleviate high food prices. 

“Kapag naprotektahan natin ang kabuhayan ng ating mga magsasaka, mangingisda at local food producers na itinuturing natin na ‘food security soldiers’, kapag tiniyak natin ang kanilang kita, ma-e-engganyo silang pataasin ang ani, dadami ang supply, at bababa ang presyo sa merkado. Panalo ang sambayanang Pilipino,” Lee said. 

This 19th Congress, AGRI Party-list principally authored landmark legislations such as Republic Act No. 11953 or the “New Agrarian Emancipation Act”, RA 11985 or “Philippine Salt Industry Development Act,” and the recently enacted RA 12022 or the “Anti-Agricultural Economic Sabotage Act”.

Currently, AGRI is persistently pushing for the passage of  “Cheaper Rice Act,” “Post-harvest Facilities Act,” “Kadiwa Agri-Food Terminal Act” to protect the livelihood of farmers and fisherfolk and provide long-term solutions to rising prices of food.

“Sama-sama nating pagtibayin ang ating mga napagtagumpayan. Ituloy natin ang laban para sa mas maunlad na agrikultura, at para sa patas at mapagmalasakit na lipunan,” AGRI stated.
