Noong nakaraang COC filing, dumagsa ang mga Party-list na gustong magkaroon ng kinatawan sa Kamara.
Pero puna ng isang grupo, tila naaabuso ang Party-list system na nilalahukan din ng mga political family.

00:00During the last CLC filing, there were partylists who wanted to have a say in the camera.
00:08But now there is a group that does not abuse the partylist system
00:13that is also dominated by political families.
00:17Sandra Aguinaldo was able to stop it.
00:23Partylist group of firefighters, vendors, solo parents, motorists,
00:28construction workers.
00:30These are just a few of the people who were able to get their Certificate of Nomination
00:36and Certificate of Acceptance of Nomination for their chosen nominees.
00:41There are also partylists who have a say in the well-known politicians
00:45and even in the political party.
00:4763 seats in the camera will go to partylist groups
00:52equal to 20% of the House of Representatives.
00:57According to the Partylist System Act,
00:59the partylist representative is equal to the congressmen who are elected in every district of the country.
01:06The partylist system is a mechanism for the marginalized and underrepresented sectors
01:13to have a say in the laws.
01:15But in the Supreme Court's decision in the case of Atong Paglaom v. Comelec,
01:20these are not the only groups that can be formed by partylist groups.
01:24If we look at the deliberations of the makers of our 1987 Constitution,
01:31they do not intend to make it exclusive to marginalized and underrepresented sectors.
01:37Their intention is to open up to more groups who want to join the partylist system.
01:44It is clear that you do not have to be part of the sector you are representing.
01:49For example, you can join a partylist group even if you are not a partylist.
02:12A partylist organization can have a separate body in the camera
02:17at the time when 2% of the total votes of the partylist are collected.
02:22There may be an additional seat if more than 2% of the votes are collected.
02:27There is a formula for this according to the decision of the Supreme Court.
02:32But up to a maximum of 3 seats can be used by each partylist group.
02:40In looking at the GMA Integrated News Research,
02:43among the partylists present,
02:45the majority are regional and provincial partylist groups,
02:49or those that are formed by some provinces.
02:52Next are the agricultural sector, cooperatives,
02:56the poor sector, the disabled, youth, senior citizens, and various groups of workers.
03:03But according to the Legal Network for Truthful Elections or LENTE,
03:07it seems that the partylist system has been abused in the country.
03:11Because politicians or individuals have seen this as a way to expand their power.
03:18The partylist only needs 2% of the total votes to get a seat.
03:25If you control a province, they will vote for your partylist.
03:30Our political families have seen this.
03:33Unfortunately, this is also a way for them to add seats to our House of Representatives.
03:41That's why the trend became like that.
03:43Because it's an additional seat here, additional resources, additional influence and control in the House.
03:49Even though Comelec is not happy with the state of the partylist system in the country,
03:53the solution is not simple.
03:56The whole law, not just the amendment, I hope the whole law will be revised.
04:01We already have a lot of lessons and we have already said a lot of things.
04:06At the same time, I hope that our partylist law will have a certain representation in each sector.
04:13We should be able to define what all the sectors we should have under the partylist system.
04:19If we introduce an anti-dynasty prohibition in the partylist system,
04:24our political dynasties will enter the partylist system.
04:31We want to find the other nominees of our partylist groups.
04:37A reminder to the voters,
04:39the partylist group that will be voted should be the nominee that will be seated in Congress.
04:46For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, Katutok, 24 Hours.
