AN ABUNDANT country and life for every Kapampangan and Filipino.

This is the goal of Malabung Worker’s Partylist, led by its first nominee Engr. Dinan Labung, if given a seat in Congress in the coming May 2022 polls.

During the launch of its campaign via motorcade on Tuesday, February 8, 2022, Labung bared his plans to unite all sectors of the community to a common goal of progress and development through legislative works.

“Alam niyo po ang malabung ay word na Kapampangan. Ang malabung po ang ibig sabihin sa tagalog ay mayabong. Sa English, abundance. Sa tagalog, pwedeng masagana, malago. Isa po ako sa taga- Pampanga, anak ng Pampanga na gustong maglingkod pumunta sa kongreso para makatulong kaya naisip ko pong mag-partylist at malabung po ang napili ko. Gusto ko maging malabong po talaga ang lahat. Ang lahat-lahat. Hindi lang ang buhay ng tao, kundi ang kabuhayan ng lahat ng Pilipino dito sa Pilipinas,” he said.

In particular, Labung said the Malabung Worker’s Partylist aims to strengthen laws such as those pertaining to minimum wage to aid families who are relying on single minimum wage income.

Labung, who is serving as the incumbent president of Provincial Board Members League of the Philippines, and treasurer ng Union of the Local Authorities of the Philippines (Ulap), also stressed the need to prioritize education for all by providing free and sustainable education for every Filipino, regardless of social status.

“Sobrang nararamdaman ko. Ang pinagdaanan ko kasi, ako ay naging working student para makita ko po ang magandang bukas. Nagtrabaho po ako, nagworking student po ako at ngayon po sa tulong ng Panginoon ganito na po ang buhay natin wala na po akong iniisip Panginoon kaya po ang kirot na aking nakikita kaya hindi po sumusulong ang Pilipinas ay dahil po ang mga batas po ay mahihina lalo na po sa mga nagtratrabaho. At yung mga bata po kailangang mag-aral kahit anak mahirap. Para po kapag nakapag-aral sabi ko nga, susulong ang Pilipinas,” said Labung.

Labung, a multi-term provincial board member, also vowed to put priority on the welfare of fellow Kapampangans once elected.

“Bilang Kapampangan, lahat po ng makukuha ko halos syempre dito po ako sa Pampanga. Yung mga medical assistance at lahat makikinabang po ang Pampanga. Lahat po ng mga programa para po iskolars, mga educational assistance halos makikinabang po Pampanga,” he said.

Meanwhile, as a true native of Pampanga, Labung chose to kickoff the partylist’s campaign in his home province.

The motorcade, which reached some two-kilometer-long, traversed the Jose Abad Santos Avenue from Barangay Prado Siongco in Lubao town to Barangay Dolores in the City of San Fernando.

“Masayang-masaya po ako hindi ko alam bakit ganito kadami ang mga kababayan na sumuporta galing pa sa malalayong lugar. Galing pa sa Manila yung mga Kapampangan. Galing pa sa iba’t-ibang probinsya at ano para lang suportahan ako. Kailangan ko ang kanilang antabay para magawa po namin ang ating hinahangad na maipakita natin na kaya nating makapunta doon. Nagrerepresent po ako ng worker’s sector,” he said.

The group, meanwhile, assured that minimum health protocols, such as limiting the number of passengers per car, were observed.

The group also secured necessary permits from the local government they passed by for the motorcade.
