MANILA, Philippines – The Supreme Court (SC) has dismissed the petitions of more party-list groups to have their disqualification reconsidered after the Commission on Elections (Comelec) decided to keep them out of the May 13 polls.
SC spokesman Theodore Te said in a press briefing on Monday, June 10, that the petitions of 23 groups – first-time applicants for accreditation in 2013 – were dismissed for being “moot and academic.”
The petitions of 7 other groups – accredited in 2010 but disqualified after the SC issued new guidelines this year – have been remanded to the Comelec.
The 30 groups were not covered by an earlier order, promulgated last April 2, on the consolidated petitions of other party-list organizations. The Atong Paglaum et al v Comelec (GR No 203766) included 54 petitions from 52 groups.
The Atong Paglaum decision sets new guidelines in determining the qualifications of applicant groups, primarily saying that the party list is not limited to so-called marginalized sectors, and that nominees don’t have to belong to the sector that the groups represent.
The following groups are covered by the latest SC decision:
