00:00🎵
00:27Good afternoon everyone. My name is Deyo Balbuena.
00:31That's my real name.
00:33I am known as Dewata Pares.
00:36We are here to file a COC for the Bindor Party List.
00:41I am one of the nominees.
00:44Thank you very much.
00:46Good afternoon to all of us.
00:49The Bindor Party List is a collection of Filipino artists.
00:54I know that there are a lot of party lists,
00:56but the Bindors are not represented
01:00to have a voice for every Filipino.
01:03That's why we are here today,
01:05to stand as a voice for every Filipino.
01:09Not just here in Manila, but throughout the Philippines.
01:13I am here with our founding chairman.
01:19We are here with Tita Malolipana,
01:23Sir Lorenz Bisigan, and Ma'am Sherelle.
01:26We are the ones who are laughing at the Bindor Party List.
01:36Just a clarification, sir.
01:38How many nominees are you?
01:40How many nominees are you?
01:43Are you vendors or vendors?
01:45Bindors Party List.
01:47How many nominees are you?
01:49I am the fourth nominee.
01:51Oh, the fourth nominee.
01:53If the Bindor Party List can include vendors in Congress,
02:00what specific legislation would you like your group to push?
02:06The advocacy of the Bindor Party List
02:09is to help elevate every Filipino.
02:12That's it.
02:14We will establish a cooperative
02:17so that it will be easier for every Filipino to join us.
02:22We will also do something.
02:25We are happy that the Bindors that we need to fix,
02:30especially like me, I used to be a step Bindors.
02:33That's one of my goals.
02:36We can help those who don't have positions
02:40to have positions.
02:42We will also help those who can.
02:44That's it.
02:49Good afternoon, Mr. Mata.
02:51Who are your first three nominees?
02:54Here are our first three nominees.
02:56I am with them.
02:57They are here.
02:58I mentioned earlier,
02:59Tita Malulipana,
03:00Sir Lawrence Bisigan,
03:02and Ma'am Cheryl.
03:03They are the three.
03:05Why did you get the most votes?
03:09I know that many will ask questions
03:13when they are here for me.
03:15That's why I volunteered to speak.
03:19One more thing, Mr. Wata.
03:21The Bindors Party List,
03:24when it happened,
03:26when it reached the House of Representatives,
03:28what specifically are you going to follow
03:31in the bill?
03:32Because there are many party list groups
03:35that represent the Maralita,
03:38the low-income workers,
03:41or the low-income people.
03:44The laws, as I mentioned earlier,
03:47because there are many party lists,
03:49but no one represents the Bindor Party List,
03:52we are here now to be the voice
03:54for all the Bindors,
03:56to help the Bindors in the Philippines.
04:02Is there anyone who wants to ask a question?
04:04Robert? Mano?
04:09Good afternoon, sir.
04:10If ever you are given the chance
04:13to serve,
04:15to get a seat in the House of Representatives
04:17when the election comes in May,
04:20how will you divide your time?
04:22Let's say, for example,
04:23because you are nominated here,
04:25even if you are the fourth,
04:26it would entail a lot of works, right?
04:29You need to study the laws
04:31that you will support.
04:32Won't this be a hurdle
04:34for the businesses
04:35that you are bringing in now?
04:37No, sir.
04:38Because in my business,
04:39as a Diwata Paris,
04:41I have people that I handle
04:43that I can trust.
04:45That's why I can divide my time
04:47where it should be.
04:49So, you will give a guarantee to the public
04:52that, what is your focus now,
04:55because you received the nomination,
04:57our sales,
04:58being a vendor,
04:59or the advocacies,
05:00and how many laws
05:01your party list group will support?
05:04Of course, we will focus on the party list,
05:06but I can't let go of my store.
05:09So, there.
05:11Will you give an hourly pay rise to the camera?
05:14Why not?
05:15If they want.
05:16We will give an hourly rise
05:17and a price of drinks.
05:19Okay, thank you.
05:21He has a question at the back.
05:25Hello, good afternoon.
05:27Since you are the fourth nominee
05:29of the Vendor's Party List,
05:30what motivated you
05:32to join the party list?
05:36Based on my experience,
05:39maybe a lot of people can see it
05:41on social media,
05:42how I fought as a vendor.
05:45When I met Vendor's Party List,
05:47I didn't hesitate to join them
05:49to fight for the rights
05:51of every Filipino vendor
05:53whose intention is to live up to the law
05:55and to continue what we can do.
05:57Thank you very much.
06:01Please.
06:05Sir, good afternoon.
06:06Imor Santos from Newswatch.
06:08Sir, what do you think
06:09will be your advantage
06:11in running for the election?
06:13Considering that this is your first time
06:15joining the party list,
06:17what can you offer to the public
06:20to convince them to vote
06:22for the Vendor's Party List?
06:24The advocacy of the Vendor's Party List
06:27is for all vendors
06:29to help vendors,
06:31sellers,
06:32because when we are vendors,
06:34it is important to have a leader.
06:36When you are a seller,
06:37you don't have a leader.
06:38That is one of the advocacy
06:40that we should do.
06:42We were given the opportunity
06:44to sit on the list.
06:47So, that's it.
06:52Regarding the law,
06:54do you want to have a law
06:57that will give leaders
06:59to vendors?
07:02Regarding the law,
07:04this should really be a vendor.
07:06I experienced how it is
07:08when we are fighting.
07:10We are clearing.
07:12The law that I want to do,
07:14and I also experienced
07:16that the permit is a bit difficult
07:19because I thought
07:21that I want to implement a law
07:23so that it will be easier.
07:25We will follow the law
07:27but it won't be difficult
07:29for every Filipino vendor
07:31just like me,
07:33small business only.
07:35So, that's what I thought.
07:37Then, the vendors,
07:39I will tell the street vendors,
07:41let's fix it so that
07:43we won't just take the vendors
07:45because they are the ones
07:47who worked hard.
07:49That's one of the things
07:51that I will do
07:53to help every Filipino vendor.
07:58I will pass the microphone.
08:03I have a question.
08:05How did you get to know
08:07the Vendors Party List?
08:09Are you a volunteer
08:11to become the 4th nominee
08:13or were you invited?
08:15I am a volunteer
08:17because last year,
08:19I got to know them
08:21and we talked about vendors.
08:23I am a volunteer
08:25just like what I said earlier
08:27for every Filipino vendor
08:29to have a voice
08:31to fight for the rights
08:33of every Filipino vendor.
08:35That's why I joined them
08:37to be a volunteer.
08:43Sir, one question.
08:45Can you tell us the background
08:47of the Vendors Party List?
08:49When was it formed?
08:51The Vendors Party List
08:53was formed
08:55on June 24, 2022.
08:59We registered it
09:01on January 10, 2024.
09:05That's when we joined.
09:09These members are
09:11street vendors
09:13and vendors in the market.
09:15There are also
09:17members who are not vendors
09:19but they are willing
09:21to help the vendors
09:23who have income.
09:25Not all members
09:27are street vendors
09:29but they are willing
09:31to help
09:33every Filipino vendor.
