Representation in the Congress

17th Congress

Shortly prior to the start of the 17th Congress, the PCFI expressed support for then-President presumptive Rodrigo Duterte and his preferred candidate for the position of House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez [3] who was later elected to the position by his fellow legislators and served until 2018 when he was succeeded by Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

It held at least 32 positions within the House of Representatives in May 2019. [4]

18th Congress

In May 2019, the PCFI elected Mikee Romero of 1-Pacman Partylist as its leader. [5] The organization under Romero renewed calls for equal treatment of partylist representatives perceiving that district representatives were favored to serve in positions within the House of Representatives. [1] Among the 61 party-list representatives from 51 organizations, 54 seats belonged to PCFI affiliated legislators. The other legislators are affiliated with the Makabayan bloc and the Magdalo Partylist. [4]

19th Congress

The PCFI managed to secure commitment from 60 partylist legislators for the upcoming 19th Congress. The Makabayan bloc like in the previous Congress refused to join the coalition. [6]
