The national elections is within reach and in fact, two days from now, we will go out of our houses, combat long lines to our voting precincts and vote the candidates we believe are capable of lifting our country from hardships – there’s only one thing people are consistently shouting for – CHANGE.

One of the votes we need to take into consideration and put our mind into in the upcoming elections is choosing the partylist which will represent a certain sector of our country – a partylist which will stand by its principles in serving people and upholding the interest of the sector they are representing. My default vote goes to AVE this upcoming elections.

However, there are hundreds more to choose from, a certain percentage is needed for one partylist to win a seat or more in the upcoming elections. That is why we need to ponder on which partylists are not that popular, but of relevant interest – which represents the many and needs our vote.

Kabataan partylist for example is expected to harvest a lot of votes from the youth. I am certainly sure that this partylist would be given at least one seat in the congress. However, there are those like Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketer’s Association party list (LPGMA) which definitely needs our vote and the senior citizen party list might also make a better choice.

A lot of people may not know a lot about LPGMA but it is pretty timely to vote a representative from their end as the prices of the commodities are going up nowadays.

LPGMA is one of the groups who monitors and makes tangible results in preventing LPG price hikes. This then makes a huge difference in all households in the entire country – and you may not even notice they exist. That is why if you vote for them, you are also making a difference – a big leap, actually!

If LPG prices go unchecked, more people will resort to using alternative cooking methods. These include cooking with wood, especially in rural areas, where it contributes to the continued denudation of the forest, adds Arnel Ty.

If you suddenly think that LPGMA needs your vote, then maybe you can better understand them more by following LPGMA 161 Twitter and liking LPGMA 161 on Facebook.
