Background

Representing taxi drivers, DUMPER Partylist took part in the 2019 House of Representatives elections winning a single seat, which was filled in by Claudine Bautista, daughter of Davao Occidental Governor Claude Bautista.[2][3] Bautista as DUMPER's representative advocated for the Magna Carta for Public Transportation Drivers Bill to become law which would institutionalize insurance and subsidies for drivers in the public transport sector.[1] It took part again in the 2022 elections in a bid to at least retain its lone seat.[1]

The organization is also involved in sports being one of the sponsors of the Pilipinas Super League. The Davao Occidental Tigers is also associated with the partylist.[4]
