The P3PWD Party List ran in the [[2022 Philippine House of Representatives elections|2022 House of Representatives elections]] managing to secure a single seat.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Patinio |first1=Ferdinand |title=55 party-list groups to be proclaimed Thursday afternoon |url=https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1175233 |access-date=26 May 2022 |work=Philippine News Agency |date=26 May 2022 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Comelec proclaims new batch of party-list groups in 19th Congress |url=https://www.rappler.com/nation/elections/comelec-proclaims-new-batch-party-list-groups-19th-congress/ |access-date=26 May 2022 |work=Rappler |date=26 May 2022}}</ref> The party listed Grace Yaneza, Ira Paulo Pozon, Marianne Heidi Fullon, Peter Jonas David, and Lili Grace Tiangco as its official nominees while former [[Commission on Elections (Philippines)|Commission on Elections]] commissioner [[Rowena Guanzon]] was actively involved in the organization's campaigning.<ref name=inlimbo>{{cite news |title=Guanzon in limbo as P3PWD nominee despite celebratory posts as incoming solon |url=https://www.cnnphilippines.com/news/2022/5/16/Guanzon-in-limbo-P3PWD-nominee-.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220516171627/https://www.cnnphilippines.com/news/2022/5/16/Guanzon-in-limbo-P3PWD-nominee-.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=May 16, 2022 |access-date=26 May 2022 |work=CNN Philippines |date=16 May 2022}}</ref> P3PWD aims to represent the interest of [[persons with disabilities]] (PWDs) and [[Patient|patients]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Mga dapat malaman hinggil sa party-list system ng Pilipinas |url=https://news.tv5.com.ph/bilangpilipino/explainer/mga-dapat-mong-malaman-hinggil-sa-party-list-system-ng-pilipinas |website=BilangPilipino |publisher=TV5 |access-date=27 May 2022 |language=fil}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=May 27, 2022 |title=About |url=https://m.facebook.com/P3PWD/about/?ref=page_internal&mt_nav=0#_=_ |access-date=May 27, 2022 |website=Facebook|publisher=P3PWD - Komunidad ng Pamilya, Pasyente at Person's With Disabilities}}</ref>
Guanzon announced herself as the presumptive representative for P3PWD, despite not being on the organization's official nominees list.<ref name=inlimbo/> At that time, the Commission on Elections stated that it has also not received any documents for substitution that would make Guanzon eligible to fill in P3PWD's seat.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Cruz |first1=RG |title=Comelec yet to receive substitution docs for P3PWD party-list |url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/05/16/22/comelec-yet-to-receive-substitution-docs-for-p3pwd-party-list |access-date=26 May 2022 |work=ABS-CBN News |date=16 May 2022}}</ref>
On June 14, 2022, all five of the party's official nominees resigned, with three of the nominees citing personal reasons. The party submitted a certificate of nomination to the COMELEC that day, comprising Rowena Guanzon, Rosalie Garcia, Cherrie Belmonte-Lim, Donnabel Tenorio, and Rodolfo Villar Jr.<ref name="five-resigned">{{Cite news|date=2022-06-14 |title=In Comelec filing, Rowena Guanzon formalizes party-list substitution bid |url=https://www.rappler.com/nation/elections/rowena-guanzon-formalizes-party-list-substitution-bid-june-2022/ |access-date=2022-06-15}}</ref> <ref>{{cite news |last1=Bordey |first1=Hana |url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/topstories/nation/834883/guanzon-named-1st-nominee-of-p3wd-party-list/story/ |title=Guanzon named 1st nominee of P3WD party-list |work=[[GMA News]] |date=June 14, 2022 |access-date=June 19, 2022}}</ref>
Acting COMELEC spokesperson Rex Laudiangco confirmed that the COMELEC has received their new certificate of nomination, stating that the "matter is subject to the deliberation of the Commission ''en banc''".<ref name="new-nominees">{{Cite news|last=Fernandez |first=Daniza |date=2022-06-14 |title=P3PWD Party-list nominees resign; Guanzon name comes out as replacement |url=https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1610777/p3pwd-party-list-nominees-resign-guanzon-name-comes-out-as-replacement |access-date=2022-06-15 }}</ref>
On June 15, the COMELEC ''en banc'' allowed Guanzon to sit as the party's first nominee.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Bordey |first1=Hana |url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/topstories/nation/834997/comelec-en-banc-allows-guanzon-to-sit-as-p3pwd-party-list-rep/story/ |title=Comelec en banc allows Guanzon to sit as P3PWD party-list rep |work=GMA News |date=June 15, 2022 |access-date=June 19, 2022}}</ref>
In 2024, the Supreme Court barred Guanzon from taking her congressional office by nullifying her nomination, citing grave abuse of discretion by COMELEC in approving her substitution past the designated deadline. The High Tribunal also declared [[Void (law)|null and void]] Rosalie J. Garcia, Cherie B. Belmonte-Lim, Donnabel C. Tenorio, and Rodolfo B. Villar's [[nominations]].<ref>{{cite news |last1= Mendoza |first1= John Eric |title=P3PWD should not appeal SC decision on Guanzon|url=https://www.inquirer.net/421633/comelec-better-for-p3pwd-not-to-appeal-sc-decision-on-guanzon/ |accessdate=November 20, 2024 |work= [[Philippine Daily Inquirer]]|date=November 20, 2024}}</ref>
