Congressional career
Bagatsing succeeded her father Amado Bagatsing in his congressional seat at Manila's 5th congressional district in 2016, in a six-way race (with one of them is former congressman Joey Hizon).[2] Her candidacy was motivated by a signature campaign from constituents advocating for a successor to continue her father's initiatives, as she had assisted her father with youth-oriented programs and projects. She was also a member of the House Committee for Women and Gender Equality and is a co-author of the SOGIE Equality Bill.[3]
She ran for 2nd term in 2019 under KABAKA and PDP–Laban and won, defeated former mayoral candidate Ali Atienza.[4][5] She ran for 3rd term in 2022 under KABAKA and National Unity Party, but lost to councilor Irwin Tieng of Asenso Manileño by an estimate of 3,000 votes.[6][7]
