Binhi, Butil, Ave and so many more. But which is the right one? How would you know that they are the right one? Which partylist will you vote for? Why?

Choosing the partylist in the Philippines is very difficult because the objectives of the majority of running party lists are unclear and most of them are not known to a lot of Filipinos... That's why I really cant give any definite answer to your question.. As I could remember, only very few party lists are remarkably known to Pinoys such as Gabriela, Anak Bayan and all those... Honestly, I havent heard of the three that you've mentioned...

frankly, it is still not yet clear for me which partlists are already approved by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC)to run in the election, and those who will represent them. hoping before the election day comes, i could have the list already.

I believe that most of these party-list groups got good platform actually -- don't you realize that is so easy to make a platform just play with words-- but what we are looking for are groups that will really serve their own constituents once elected, and not just promote their own brand of ancient ideological interest in the name of the people. I personally don't believe with any left-leaning groups because their views on a lot of things area already outdated and out of reality. I will vote for COOP-NATTCO or BUTIL as they are the true voice of the so silent majority called farmers.

Thanks for sharing. I'm also from the agricultural sector, i might vote those that represents the farmers, i just don't know which one. Since they lack funding(well, most of the partylists), it's so difficult to know their platform, and decide who to vote for.

Same question in here it seems there are a hundred who are running as partylist and none of them has a really good platform. I even don't remember what partylist I voted for last elections as they are very many I really didn't think who to vote as partylist anymore.
