In law enforcement
circles in the Philippines,
Reynaldo Esmeralda carved
himself a name as a fearless
crime fighter.
Rising to become deputy
director of the National Bureau
of Investigation, Esmeralda
has upheld and enforced the
law with vigour and integrity.
In the 2019 mid-term
elections,
Esmeralda
is
seeking to fashion a new
phase in his storied life.
Now a sought-after
consultant, the lawyer-turned-
aspiring-politician is one of
two candidates of the party-
list organization Galing Sa
Puso or GP Party-list 132.
The party-list system
in the Philippines is a
mechanism of proportional
representation in the election
of representatives to the
House of Representatives.
Party-list representatives
advocate for marginalized or
underrepresented sectors in
society.
The system is part
of the electoral process
that enables small political
parties and marginalized
and
underrepresented
sectors to obtain possible
representation in the House
of Representatives.
As everyone knows,
politics in the Philippines is
traditionally is dominated
by parties with big political
machinery.
Party-list representatives
are elected at large on a
nationwide basis.
If Galing Sa Puso wins
enough votes, Esmeralda and
the party’s other candidate,
Jose Gay’GP’ Padiernos, who
is vice governor of Nueva
Ecija, will be given seats in the
House of Representatives.
Galing Sa Puso is
offering a platform that
addresses five major issues:
livelihood, health, education,
justice, and protection of the
environment.
For
livelihood,
the
provision of jobs is a top
priority for Galing Sa Puso.
Regarding
health,
Galing Sa Puso is calling for
the provision of services for
everyone, especially the poor.
For education, the party
wants to enable the youth to
complete their studies.
For justice, Galing Sa
Puso believes that everyone
should be made aware of their
rights under the country’s
legal system.
With respect to the
environment, Galing Sa Puso
is calling for the sustainable
use of natural resources so the
next generations can benefit
from this wealth as well.
Galing Sa Puso’s motto:
Kasali Ako, Kasali Ka, Kasali
Tayong Lahat!
