PARTIDO SA BAGONG PILIPINO #91, AIMS TO EMPOWER BARANGAYS ENSURING ACCESS TO THE MOST ESSENTIAL NEEDS
Partido sa Bagong Pilipino (PBP) is a political party founded in 2019 by concerned citizens of the CARAGA Administrative Region. Armed with advocacies aiming to alleviate poverty especially in the marginalized coastal and rural areas in the Philippines, PBP proposes solutions that are formulated from the peculiarities of the region. It was accredited as a Partylist Organization by the Commission on Elections last 15 September 2023.
Once afoot in the House of Representatives, PBP intends to work on the following priority legislation that intends to bring national development to the barangays, focusing on four things: roads, healthcare, clean water, and kuryente.
Roads and Access
Connect the barangays to each other, to make it easier for people, goods, and services to get in and out of town.

Made more accessible through programs that incentivize doctors and make basic medicines easily available.
An Act Enhancing the Doctors to the Barrio Program of the DOH
a. Expansion and institutionalization of DOH’S medical scholarship program for the benefit of the Doctors to the Barrio Program of DOH
b. At least one Town – one doctor, prioritizing coastal and highland areas in the country
Clean Water
