Mamamayang Liberal (ML; lit. 'Liberal citizens'), also known as the ML Partylist, is a political organization seeking party-list representation in the House of Representatives of the Philippines.
History
[edit]Mamayang Liberal (ML) was formed as the sectoral organization of the Liberal Party to cater to marginalized groups. ML ran for the 2025 elections as a partylist organization largely relying on the supporter base of Liberal and former 2022 presidential candidate Leni Robredo.[1] It received accreditation as a regional sectoral organization from the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) in July 2024.[2]
ML has listed former senator Leila de Lima as their first nominee.[3][4] Aside from advancing the interest of various marginalized sectors, ML pledged to reform the partylist system if they win a seat.[5][6]
Sectors represented
[edit]ML names workers, farmers, fisherfolk, indigenous peoples, urban poor, women, youth, professionals, and members of the LGBTQ community as the sectors they represent.[2]
