Trade Union Congress Party
Trade Union Congress Party is a party-list in the Philippines, set up by the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines as its electoral wing. The party contested the 2004 legislative elections, mustering 201,396 votes nationwide (1.58%). The list failed to win any seat. The Supreme Court declared TUCP, as well as a few other party-list organizations, as winners in the 2007 legislative elections by virtue of the Philippine Constitution.
The party supported Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte during the 2022 presidential election, citing consultation meetings with their members across the Philippines, "an overwhelming majority decision in all caucuses."
Raymond Democrito Cañete Mendoza is currently serving as the representative of the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) Party-list and is currently one of the Deputy Speakers in the House of Representatives. He is TUCP's representative to the 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th Congresses of the Republic of the Philippines.
