Angkasangga Party-list is making headway in its campaign less than a month to go before the 2025 mid-term elections based on the results of the latest OCTA Research survey.

As per the survey results, the party-list was ranked at 21st place. With this standing, Angkasangga would secure one seat in the House of Representatives.

"It’s time to give real representation to the riders and informal workers who power the nation every day," Angkasangga said in a statement as it welcomed the findings of OCTA Research.

The face of Angkasangga Party-list is first nominee George Royeca. Through his position as chief executive officer (CEO) of Angkas, he has transformed the lives of over 50,000 motorcycle riders through a model that prioritizes safety, stability, and inclusion.

"But Angkasangga is much bigger than Angkas—it’s a platform for the 18 million Filipinos who use motorcycles for livelihood: from habal-habal drivers and delivery riders to TODAs (tricycle operators and driver associations) and other informal earners," the party-list said.

Royeca reckoned that Filipinos "are waking up to the truth".

"Our riders and informal workers aren’t just part of the economy, they keep it alive. This rise in support tells us the people are ready for real solutions and real voices in Congress,” he said.

Angkasangga’s legislative agenda includes pushing for the Motorcycle Taxi Law, a separate law for delivery riders, and a Magna Carta for TODAs. These measures aim to finally give structure, protection, and dignity to sectors long left behind by traditional policy.

Public support for the party-list has only grown stronger thanks to the endorsements of well-known figures like the Recto family--Finance Secretary Ralph Recto, Vilma Santos-Recto, Lucky Manzano, and Ryan Christian Recto—as well as former Manila Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso, who calls Angkasangga “Yorme’s Choice".

Celebrity Vice Ganda, the “Unkabogable Kasangga,” has also championed the party-list from the very beginning.

"Through Kalye Kasanggaan, town halls, and ugnayan sessions nationwide, Angkasangga has shown that it listens, learns, and acts—offering real, grounded representation for those who’ve long been ignored," the same statement read.

The mid-term elections will take place on May 12.
