Represented by neophyte lawmaker Brian Raymund Yamsuan, Bicol Saro has been named as among the top 3 best performing partylist representatives of the 19th Congress in the latest nationwide survey conducted by the RP-Mission and Development Foundation Inc. (RPMD).
Bicol Saro placed third in the independent survey, garnering an impressive performance rating of 87.1 percent.
โI am deeply grateful to our supporters for this recognition. Since being named the first nominee of Bicol Saro, our partylist has been working hard to be the voice in Congress not only of the people of Bicol but of societyโs underprivileged sectors. Bicol Saro, through this humble representation, will strive to be even better in serving our people, and in making good governance viral in our country,โ Yamsuan said.
โThe unwavering support for Bicol Saro fuels our commitment to serve the community. Together, letโs continue making a positive impact. Dios mabalos po sa inyong lahat,โ he added.
Although Yamsuan assumed the post as the lone representative of Bicol Saro in the House of Representatives only on February 22 last year, he has amassed a string of achievements, having principally authored 73 bills, of which 24 have been approved on third and final reading and one enacted into law.

RP-Missionโs non-commissioned Boses ng Bayan survey was conducted from December 27, 2023 to January 5, 2024 among 10,000 adult Filipinos across cities and regions, reflecting a demographic proportional to the official voter population. The survey has a margin of error of +/-1% and a 95% confidence level.
The survey was conducted under the guidance of Dr. Paul Martinez, a global affairs analyst and Executive Director of RPMD.
According to Dr. Martinez, โThe core of this (Boses ng Bayan) report lies in its commitment to capturing the collective voice of the Filipino public.โ
โThrough extensive surveys and interviews, we have gathered a comprehensive view of how these Representatives have fared in terms of legislative productivity, advocacy for their sectors, responsiveness to public needs, transparency, and overall engagement with the communities they represent,โ he added.
