Introduction
At 1PACMAN, our vision for social justice is built on a strong legislative foundation that guarantees every Filipino’s right to a better life. Guided by laws such as the Magna Carta for the Poor (RA11291), the Free Tuition Fee Act (RA10931), and the Universal Health Care Act (RA11223), we are committed to ensuring that education, healthcare, and other essential services are accessible to all. These laws are not just policy victories—they are the cornerstones of our mission to empower the marginalized and create a more just and inclusive society.
Understanding Social Justice
Social justice means providing every Filipino with an equal opportunity to succeed, regardless of background. It is about removing barriers that prevent marginalized communities from accessing quality education and affordable healthcare. With the Free Tuition Fee Act (RA10931) ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder a child’s right to education, and the Universal Health Care Act (RA11223) making medical care more accessible, social justice becomes a tangible goal. Our commitment to these principles is further reinforced by the Magna Carta for the Poor (RA11291), which directs our efforts to lift up those who have been left behind by traditional systems.
Our Community-Based Approach
Our journey toward social justice starts at the grassroots. We work closely with local communities, listening directly to their concerns through town hall meetings, door-to-door visits, and open forums. This direct engagement ensures that our initiatives are designed to address the real challenges faced by everyday Filipinos. By aligning our community efforts with RA11291, we make sure that the voices of the marginalized are heard and that our actions target the most urgent needs. Whether it is improving local schools or expanding access to healthcare, our community-based approach transforms local feedback into concrete policies that benefit everyone.
How 1PACMAN Will Create Change in 2025
As we look toward the 2025 elections, our legislative agenda is focused on delivering measurable improvements. In Congress, 1PACMAN is dedicated to supporting and expanding laws that create tangible benefits for our people. We are actively promoting the implementation of the Free Tuition Fee Act (RA10931) to ensure that every child can pursue education without financial burden, and the Universal Health Care Act (RA11223) to make healthcare both affordable and accessible. Our work is guided by the principle that every law we support must directly address the needs of the marginalized, helping to bridge the gap between policy and the daily lives of our citizens.
Our efforts in Congress are driven by continuous dialogue with communities. Through regular consultations, we adjust our strategies to reflect emerging challenges and opportunities. This ongoing commitment ensures that our legislative actions remain practical and impactful, addressing issues such as poverty alleviation and equitable access to essential services.
Building a Better Future Through Practical Governance
Our approach to governance is simple yet far-reaching. At 1PACMAN, we believe that real progress is achieved through clear, practical solutions that make life better for every Filipino. By turning grassroots insights into effective legislation, we create a framework for a society where no one is left behind. Our policies, based on the mandates of RA11291, RA10931, and RA11223, are designed to improve access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities.
We work hand-in-hand with local government units, educators, healthcare providers, and community organizations to ensure that our initiatives are implemented effectively. This collaborative model guarantees transparency and accountability, making sure that every action we take is rooted in the real needs of the people. As we continue to refine our strategies through ongoing community engagement, our focus remains on creating lasting, positive change that empowers the marginalized and strengthens our nation.
