An Waray was a party-list in the Philippines, mainly based on the islands of Leyte, Samar and Biliran.
In the 2004 elections for the House of Representatives An Waray got 268,164 votes (2.1079% of the nationwide vote) and one seat (Florencio Noel). An Waray Party List is a democratic multi-sectoral party-list organization that envisions a just, progressive and peaceful Filipino society characterized by its principles katilingban (sense of community), kahimyang (peace) and kauswagan (progress) through the adoption of a community-based and peace oriented development agenda.
An Waray had its registration cancelled by the Commission on Elections for letting its second nominee assume office in 2013 despite being entitled to only a seat, violating the Party-List System Act. The ruling was affirmed on August 14, 2023, by the commission en banc; and was upheld by the Supreme Court in a decision promulgated on August 6, 2024.
