Binay questions Comelec decision on EM BO voters

Defining the News

Makati City Mayor Abigail Binay questioned the Commission on Elections decision to allow residents of EMBO barangays, formerly under the city’s jurisdiction, to vote for city councilors but not for their representatives in Congress.“It seems that the poll body has forgotten that city councilors are elected by legislative district. If the EMBO residents can vote for city councilors, this means they are part of a legislative district.

Binay expressed disappointment at the Comelec decision, stating that the right to be represented in Congress is a basic principle in a democracy and that the decision denies the EMBO residents of this right.
