MANILA — Human rights lawyer Chel Diokno on Monday led the nominees of Akbayan party-list, which is aiming for another term at the House of Representatives in 2025.

Akbayan recently occupied the vacated House seat of An Waray after the Supreme Court affirmed the cancellation of its registration.

Next to Diokno as nominees are Perci Cendaña, the incumbent Akbayan representative, and Moro leader Dadah Kiram Ismula.

During his speech, Diokno lauded Akbayan for its long-standing history in public service.

If elected, Diokno vows to replicate at the House of Representatives the works of Akbayan stalwart Sen. Risa Hontiveros, who has led the probes into POGOs, Alice Guo, and Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.

Diokno earlier announced intention to run for senator but last month made a surprise transfer to Akbayan.
