Lakas-CMD gains six new members, now has 109 reps
More than one-third of the 310-strong House of Representatives now belong to Lakas-CMD after three representatives joined recently on Tuesday.
Zamboanga del Sur's Jeyzel Victoria Yu, Iloilo's Raul Tupas, and Bukidnon's Manuel Alba took their oaths as new members of Lakas-CMD, bringing the total number of party members to 109.
The expansion of Lakas-CMD widens support in Congress for President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr.'s Agenda for Prosperity and Bagong Pilipinas programs.
Other lawmakers who recently joined include Luz Mercado from Southern Leyte, Ramon Nolasco Jr. from Cagayan, and Belle Zamora from San Juan City.
Lakas-CMD held its national convention last Friday where Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez emphasized the party's commitment to fielding candidates in the 2025 elections and shaping the future of the Philippines.
