FPJ Panday Bayanihan party list formally sealed their partnership with the Legal Aid Society of the Philippines (LASP) through the recent signing of a memorandum of understanding.
The party list’s first nominee, Brian Poe, graced the occasion together with LASP executive director Joseph Migriño, reaffirming their commitment to strengthen free legal services to those who need it most.
Through the partnership, FPJ Panday Bayanihan will sponsor LASP’s weekly legal aid clinic to be conducted every Wednesday in Manila.
“Justice is the third pillar of our organization. This is just the beginning, and we hope that more groups will support the Legal Aid Society of the Philippines in their efforts to aid our fellow countrymen and women in need,” Poe said.
Their party list seeks to advance Sen. Grace Poe’s mission of justice through meaningful legislative reforms and genuine public service.
“We always found it difficult to find partners who share our advocacy of access to justice in and on itself. Most organizations want to align with specific interest groups. Those are good advocacies, but we feel that they do not align with our values and commitment, especially since we’re essentially a startup NGO. After getting to know Brian and his organization, we realized that we’re not alone in this. We really look forward to working with his team to effect meaningful change in our country,” Migriño said.
