Article Rewrite

Heading into the midterm elections, Trabaho (Number 106 on the ballot), a budding labor reform group, has snatched a spot among the favorite party-lists in the minds of voters in Mindanao, according to a pre-election survey by WR Numero Research (WRN).

The party's standing was even more impressive in the Metro Manila cluster, where it landed a top-three spot, an impressive feat for a newcomer in the political arena.

Across all clusters, Trabaho clocked in at the 13th spot in the national ranking for the April 2025 survey.

Some 1,894 registered voters took part in the latest WRN survey carried out from March 31 to April 7.

With Labor Day approaching, Trabaho emphasized its dedication to expanding economic opportunities beyond the National Capital Region (NCR) and ensuring competitive wage rates in the provinces in relation to those in the NCR.

While the search results don't offer detailed insights into the Trabaho party-list in the upcoming Philippine elections, one can gather that party-lists in the Philippines function as representatives of various societal sectors in the House of Representatives, striving to champion marginalized groups, promote particular interests, and advocate for sectoral concerns.

To secure a seat, a party-list must grab at least 2% of the total votes cast. Those parties that surpass this threshold can potentially net up to three seats[1][2]. Notable examples of party-lists and their main areas of focus include the 4Ps Party-List, prioritizing assistance for impoverished families, the Kabataan Party-List, fighting for youth rights and welfare, and Duterte Youth, championing youth empowerment and development aligned with the ideals of former President Rodrigo Duterte.

The Trabaho party-list, aiming for uniform economic growth, aims to provide competitive wage rates in provinces beyond the National Capital Region, as stated by their spokesperson, Mitchell-David Espiritu.
Trabaho, a labor reform group vying for a seat in the 2025 elections, has made significant strides in Mindanao and staggering impressions in Metro Manila according to the WRN pre-election survey.
As the party-list system in the Philippines enables groups to represent societal sectors in the House of Representatives, Trabaho aims to champion marginalized sectors and work on policy-and-legislation that benefits them.
To secure a seat, Trabaho, along with other party-lists, needs to garner at least 2% of the total votes cast in the general elections slated for April 2025.
Philadelphia political news reveals that Trabaho's aggressive efforts and objectives in the various race areas may put them in contention for a well-deserved position amongst voters in the upcoming Philippine midterm elections.
