Ang Probinsyano Party-list

The Alyansa ng mga Mamamayang Probinsyano, also known as the Ang Probinsyano Party-list (APPL) is political organization which has party-list representation in the House of Representatives of the Philippines as of the 18th Congress.

The group seeks representation of farmers, fishers and other marginalized groups in the provinces or rural areas of the Philippines.

2019 elections
Ang Probinsyano sought representation for the first time when it ran in the 2019 mid-term elections. The partylist group seeks to represent the concerns of those residing in therural areas of the Philippines. Its campaign was supported by Coco Martin and Yassi Pressman. The two were known for their acting roles in the ABS-CBN television series Ang Probinsyano which shares the name with the partylist group.

Angelo Palmones former representative of AGHAM Partylist made a bid for the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to stop the proclamation of Ang Probinsyano on the grounds that it allegedly took undue advantage of naming themselves after Ang Probinsyano for name recall. Palmones argues that this gave the partylist, 1,210 minutes of indirect exposure from February 12 until April 5 (from the official start of the campaign season to the date when Palmones' petition was filed) and also took note the endorsement of two of the series' lead actors. The Section 9 of Comelec Resolution 10488 limits campaign advertisements for national candidates to 120 minutes for television which Palmones argues the partylist and ABS-CBN violated.

Ang Probinsyano was among the 51 winning partylist groups proclaimed by the Comelec. It secured 2 seats in the House of Representatives.
