The Kabataan, Talino at Galing ng Pinoy, and 1-Pacman party-lists on Saturday filed their respective certificates of nomination and acceptance (CONA) for the 2025 Midterm Elections.

Kabataan, which is seeking another term in the House of Representatives, named lawyer Renee Co as its first nominee.

“Ang una naming isusulong at patuloy na isusulong [ang] mga karapatan ng estudyante na nakapaloob sa Students Rights Bill,” Co said.

“'Yun po ang unang isusulong, ang pagkilala at further protection para sa karapatan ng estudyante, constitutional rights that they do not leave when they step into school gates but they continue to keep with themselves as basic human rights,” she added.

(We will prioritize students' rights under the Students Rights Bill. We will prioritize the recognition and further protection of student rights. Constitutional rights that they do not leave when they step into school gates but they continue to keep with themselves as basic human rights.)
