Political party in the Philippines
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.
Barangay Health Wellness as a partylist in the House of Representatives designates its primary constituents as barangay health 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]
Barangay Health Wellness sought party-list representation in the House of Representatives by participating in the 2019 election. They were able to secure enough votes for a single seat.[4] The seat was filled in by Angelica Natasha Co, daughter of former Ako-Bicol representative Christopher Co.[5]
The BHW Partylist was able to retain its lone seat for the 19th Congress following the 2022 election.[6]
