If elections were held today, only eight party-list groups would secure at least one seat in the House of Representatives, with 4PS (Pagtibayin at Palaguin ang Pangkabuhayang Pilipino) leading the race, according to Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey.
The survey results indicate that 4PS garnered 13.51% of intended votes, securing three seats in the House by surpassing the 6% vote threshold. It is followed by ACT-CIS with 5.63%, Senior Citizens with 4.62%, and Duterte Youth with 4.14%.
All of the said party-lists are expected to claim two seats each.
AKO BICOL with 3.56% and Tingog with 2.86% are both guaranteed one seat. The last two groups projected to win seats are TGP with 2.48% and USWAG ILONGGO with 2.20%, both securing at least one seat each.
The SWS survey, conducted in partnership with the Stratbase Group from December 12 to December 18, 4, used face-to-face interviews with 2,097 registered voters aged 18 and above across the country.
Respondents included 342 voters from Metro Manila, 1,050 from Balance Luzon (areas outside Metro Manila), 353 from the Visayas, and 352 from Mindanao. Participants were presented with a list of 156 party-list groups vying for seats in the 2025 elections and asked to give their choices orally.
According to the party-list law in the Philippines, party groups who are guaranteed one seat in the House of Representatives shall accumulate at least 2% of votes.
“The parties, organizations, and coalitions receiving at least two percent (2%) of the total votes cast for the party-list system shall be entitled to one seat each: provided, that those garnering more than two percent (2%) of the votes shall be entitled to additional seats in proportion to their total number of votes: provided, finally, that each party, organization, or coalition shall be entitled to not more than three (3) seats,” the Republic Act No. 7491 states.
