The Supreme Court was asked on Tuesday, June 21, to nullify a Commission on Elections ruling that allowed the nomination of the poll body’s former Commissioner Maria Rowena Amelia V. Guanzon to represent the Komunidad ng Pamilya, Pasyente at Persons with Disabilities party-list which won a seat in the House of Representatives in the last May 9 elections.
It said it also gave due course to the new list of nominees which include Guanzon , Rosalie J. Garcia, Cherrie B. Belmonte-Lim, Donnabel C. Tenorio and Rodolfo B. Villar Jr. They pointed out that the original nominees of P3PWD filed their resignation and withdrawal last June 14 and “in just around 24 hours last June 15” their pleas were approved by Comelec. It was last June 17 when they filed their opposition, they said.
They also said that Republic Act No. 7941, the law on Party-List System, mandates that the list of nominees should be submitted to the Comelec before the elections to give the electorate the opportunity to assess which party-list organization to elect.
