The “ONE BENGUET MOVEMENT” is a political coalition that emerged as a unifying force in the province of Benguet, reflecting the shared vision of its prominent political figures. The name of the movement combines two important political slogans that have played significant roles in the province’s recent political history: “BENGUET ALLIANCE” and “ONE PEOPLE, ONE BENGUET”.

The first part of the name, “BENGUET ALLIANCE”, was popularized by former Congressman Samuel Dangwa, a well-respected leader who served the province for many years. His vision for Benguet was built on strengthening the unity of the province’s diverse communities and ensuring their shared interests were represented at the national level. Under the banner of the “BENGUET ALLIANCE”, Dangwa championed projects that aimed to elevate the standard of living for the people of Benguet, focusing on sustainable development, better infrastructure, and more effective governance.

The second part of the name, “ONE PEOPLE, ONE BENGUET”, was the campaign slogan of former Congressman Ronald Cosalan, who also played a crucial role in shaping the province’s political landscape. Cosalan’s slogan represented his commitment to fostering unity among the people of Benguet, regardless of political affiliation or regional differences. His vision of a united Benguet emphasized collective action, where every individual and community worked together to achieve common goals for the betterment of the province. The slogan resonated deeply with the people, as it reinforced the importance of solidarity and cooperation in tackling the challenges that Benguet faced.

When these two influential political slogans were combined, they formed the basis of the “ONE BENGUET MOVEMENT”, a coalition that sought to build on the legacies of both former Congressman Samuel Dangwa and former Congressman Ronald Cosalan. The movement became a symbol of political cooperation, unity, and shared vision for the future of Benguet. It is a commitment to continue working together for the prosperity of the province, ensuring that every voice is heard, every community is uplifted, and every citizen of Benguet is empowered.

The “ONE BENGUET MOVEMENT” stands as a testament to the strength of collaboration and the enduring dedication of its leaders to promote peace, development, and unity within the province. With the shared goal of achieving a prosperous and harmonious Benguet, the alliance remains a beacon of hope for the people, ready to face the future as one unified community.
