MANILA, Philippines — The creation of Tingog centers across the country aims to bring essential services closer to the people so that nobody would be left behind, Reps. Yedda Marie Romualdez and Jude Acidre said on Friday.
Acidre, during the Tingog party-list Summit 2025 in Palo, Leyte, said that centers established are a testament to the organization’s dedication to helping Filipinos get the services they need.
“The establishment of Tingog Centers is part of our commitment to bring essential services closer to the people, especially in underserved areas,” Acidre said.
“Each center stands as a testament to our dedication to ensuring no Filipino is left behind in accessing the support they need.”
Romualdez meanwhile assured the public that Tingog will always support Filipinos by listening and crafting meaningful legislation.
“Tingog Partylist will always be dedicated to serving the Filipino people. We will continue to listen, act, and serve with integrity and compassion, because we believe in the power of true service to our nation,” she said.
Romualdez’ husband, House of Representatives Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez, also said that Tingog has remained true to its dream of giving “a voice to those who have long been unheard.”
“Tingog is no longer just an idea. It is a movement that has changed lives. From Leyte to every corner of the region and across the country, we have built something that truly matters. We have reached communities that needed us most,” Speaker Romualdez said.
During the event, over 500 partners and volunteers from various Tingog Centers across the country went to the Tingog Summit, to celebrate and reflect on the trajectory of the party-list.
The party, which was founded in 2012 in Leyte, grew from just being a regional organization in Eastern Visayas to having a nationwide reach, with 210 centers operating across the country.
According to Tingog, the centers serve as “vital links between the Filipino people and the government” by providing “essential services such as healthcare assistance, legal aid, educational support, and livelihood programs.”
