Other involvements

AGAP President Nicanor Briones has been working with different sectors in protecting farmers' livelihood and economic welfare by fighting against excessive importation of pork that would affect the income of local pork producers and sellers, unfair reduction of tariff rates for imported pork, and technical smuggling. He has been calling for the establishment of several meat inspection laboratories to prevent the spread of African Swine Fever (ASF) as well as indemnification for local pork producers affected by ASF.\n

In August 2025, along with APEC Partylist representative Sergio Dagooc, sole representative Briones became viral on social media after he was caught by an unknown photographer watching a video of sabong during then incumbent president Bongbong Marcos's 2025 State of the Nation Address. Briones insists that he does not participate in cockfighting or gambling in any form, and said that this was an attempt by alleged \"smugglers\" to destroy his image. As a result of this incident, Briones lost his seat in the Commission on Appointments as a member of the 12-seated minority bloc and was replaced by LPGMA Partylist representative Allan Ty.\n
