Issues regarding partylists
The Freeman
|March 05, 2026
During last Monday’s Senate electoral reforms committee hearing, Commission on Elections chairman George Garcia urged lawmakers to pass legislation governing the substitution of party-list nominees, saying that groups exploit the current rules.
-
Garcia said that some groups secure accreditation by submitting a list of legitimate sectoral representatives, only to have all winning nominees simultaneously resign after the election. He asked Congress to legislate laws against substitutions.
Senate President Vicente Sotto III added that some groups with existing political representation have been allowed to run as partylists.
“Yong mga provincial groups, marginalized ba ‘yon? Ang dami nilang congressmen. Mga regions, ang dami ng congressmen. Paano sila naging marginalized?” he said.
Yes, these are two issues that should be addressed.
