Barangay Health Wellness (BHW) Association Inc., also known as the BHW Partylist, is an organization which holds party-list representation in the House of Representatives of the Philippines. It aims to represent the interest of barangay-level health workers.
Background
Barangay Health Wellness as a partylist in the House of Representatives designates its primary constituents as barangayhealth workers. This also includes other people whose responsibilities are related to health at a barangay-level including barangay nutrition scholars (BNSs), barangay sanitary inspectors (BSIs), and barangay service point officers.[1][2]
In October 2024, BHW Representative Angelica Natasha Co and Congresswoman Stella Quimbo filed an ethics complaint against Wilbert T. Lee, anchored on alleged threats and acts of aggression during a 2025 budget hearing with the Philippine House Committee on Ethics and Privileges.[3]
Election watchdog Kontra Daya tagged BHW on its list of party-list groups that do not serve marginalized groups and have links to political dynasties, big business, or the police or the military, or have corruption cases, since Co is daughter of former Ako Bicol Rep. Christopher Co while Co's co-nominee Martin Aber Sicat is a shareholder of Aremar Construction Corp. who was investigated for allegedly getting kickbacks worth P81.1 million in government bid-rigging schemes.[4]
Electoral history
