Ang Asosasyon Sang Mangunguma Nga Bisaya-Owa Mangunguma (AAMBIS-Owa Party-list) participated in the 2019 House of Representatives elections where it won a seat for the 18th Congress.[2] As a party-list it stated constituents are Filipino farmers.[3] Sharon Garin, who has been AAMBIS-Owa's representative since 2010 in the 15th Congress, retained her seat in the House of Representatives.[4][5] Garin belongs to a political family, with her cousin Jimmy Garin also a partylist nominee for the 2019 election and her husband Richard Garin a former congressman himself.[5]
As representative, Garin proposed various measures concerning agriculture. She filed a bill proposing the amendment of the Customs Modernization and Tariffication Act (CMTA) which would enable the government to better deal with agricultural smuggling and improve trade facilitation.[6] Garin also filed a legislation which proposed the regulation of e-cigarettes to protect the interest of tobacco farmers which also would mandate labels and health warnings to such products.[7]
