Advocacies

KABAYAN's advocacies are summarized in the acronym "KABAYAN +2."
"KA" stands for KAlusugan, or health. KABAYAN aims to provide health care to underprivileged Filipinos, to be subsidized partially or even fully by the government.
"BA" is for paBAhay, or housing. KABAYAN intends to provide at least one million low-cost houses for poor Filipino families.

Finally, "+2" refers to education and OFWs. KABAYAN will strive to assure that at least one member of each Filipino family will receive sufficient education to be able to provide their respective families with ample financial support. The party-list will also bring OFW concerns to the forefront, and spearhead projects such as a "one-stop shop" for the processing of travel-related documents; insurance coverage for Filipino seafarers whether or not they are aboard their respective vessels; and the creation of seafarers' dormitories near seaports. KABAYAN also aims to encourage OFWs to come back to the Philippines and to emphasize that working abroad should be an option, not a necessity.
