3 min read

Coco Martin, famously known as Cardo Dalisay on-screen, is making rounds all over as he debuts his endorsement not of the partylist with the same name as his show, but of a new party-list โ€“ AP Partylist #AkoyPilipino on Friday, February 25.

โ€œAnuman ang hirap na ating pinagdadaanan, may kakampi na tayoโ€ฆโ€ Martin introduced his new party-list group with first nominee Rep. Ronnie Ong in-action in the background in the partylistโ€™s video now circulating online. He continues, โ€œAng AP Partylist ang tutulong magbigay ng trabaho at kabuhayan sa mga manggagawang Pilipino.โ€

Rep. Ronnie Ong is Coco Martinโ€™s long-time friend and is nicknamed by PeopleAsia as the โ€œfrontliner Congressman.โ€ Ong is known for his various out-of-the-box COVID-19 Bayanihan projects since the first lockdown, such as his #LibrengSakay program for healthworkers, #LibrengGulay program for community kitchens, #LibrengTablets and E-skwela Hub e-learning centers for students and teachers.

Before the pandemic, Ong also supported senior citizens looking for employment through his Tulong Pangkabuhayan program, deploying various able-bodied and willing-to-work seniors at airports, public universities and government agencies. During the pandemic, he also helped out-of-work transport workers such as UV Express or FX drivers by employing them as #LibrengSakay drivers, as well as some laid-off ABS-CBN employees who found alternative work as contact tracers.

More than just Coco Martin, the all-star cast of Ang Probinsyano forming the famed โ€œTask Force Agila,โ€ has also expressed their support for AP Partylist on their social media pages, sharing the various advocacies of AP Partylist closest to them. โ€œMula po noong umpisa nakasama na namin si Cong. Ronnie, at kita namin na nagtrabaho talaga siya, naglingkod talaga siya. Kaya ngayon, ang #164 AP Partylist na kasama siya ang sinusuportahan na namin. Sana po ay suportahan niyo rin,โ€ Coco Martin said.

Aside from the endorsement video, AP Partylist also collaborated with OPM artists Bassilyo, Sisa and Smugglaz with their โ€œAkoโ€™y Pilipino,โ€ anthem that sings of the pride, perseverance, and hardwork of Filipinos. They sing, โ€œIkaw ay magtiwala, magtiwalang may magagawa. Ito na ang panahon, ang tamang pagkakataon, sa bawat daing moโ€™y magtutugon. Akoโ€™y Pilipinong lumalaban, tumatapang, lalo kung nasusugatan, anumang pagsubok ang daanan, haharapin nang may kagitingan. Itaas mo ang noo, isigaw mo sa buong mundo, akoโ€™y Pilipino.โ€ Both videos are available on Youtube and on AP Party-listโ€™s official social media pages.

Coco Martin calls on the audience to join him on his new journey with his new partylist, โ€œDito na tayo sa biyaheng aasenso ang lahat ng Pilipinoโ€ฆ AP Partylist #AkoyPilipino, number 164 sa balota.โ€
