History
Mamamayang Liberal (ML) was formed as the sectoral organization of the Liberal Party to cater to marginalized groups. ML ran for the 2025 elections as a party-list organization largely relying on the supporter base of Liberal and former 2022 presidential candidate Leni Robredo.[1] It received accreditation as a regional sectoral organization from the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) in July 2024.[2]
ML has listed former senator Leila de Lima as their first nominee.[3][4] Aside from advancing the interest of various marginalized sectors, ML pledged to reform the partylist system if they win a seat.[5][6]
