History

edit

Bicol Saro is among the parties that vied for a seat in the Interim Batasang Pambansa in the 1978 parliamentary election.[1]

In 2019, Bicol Saro entered into a partnership with the Hugpong ng Pagbabago (HNP) party.[2]

It later ran as a party-list organization. It currently has a seat in the House of Representatives' 19th Congress after their campaign in the 2022 elections.[3][4] Their campaign was aided by an endorsement from actress Nora Aunor.[5]

The seat is filled by Nicolas Enciso VIII, who was previously a nominee for the 1-Pacman Party List and a former deputy-director general of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority.[6][7]
