History
[edit]FPJ Panday Bayanihan was organized by daughter of actor Fernando Poe Jr. (FPJ), Grace Poe in 2013 as a foundation.[2][3] It was established as a response to Tropical Storm Trami (Maring).[4]
FPJ Panday Bayanihan took part at the 2025 election, with Grace Poe's son and co-founder Brian Poe Llamanzares named as the group's first nominee.[5][6] Poe's husband was also among the group's nominees.[7] FPJ Panday Bayanihan won a seat.[8]
Name
[edit]Its name is a reference to the FPJ-starring film Ang Panday and the concept of bayanihan (communal work).[4] After the Commission on Election introduced plans to ban groups running under a name shared with those of government aid programs and television series at the conclusion of the election, the group said that "FPJ" in their name officially stands for "food, progress, and justice". "FPJ" is noted to be the initials of Fernando Poe Jr.[9]
