Kabataan Party Rep. Raoul Manuel pointed out that the months-long vacancy of the P3PWD seat had deprived persons with disabilities of representation in the House. | BPinlacINQ
He pointed out that the PWD sector, in particular, had long clamored for representation to push for inclusive infrastructure, systems, and policies that take into consideration their physical and mental limitations.
The P3PWD secured a total of 391,174 votes in the 2022 elections, earning the sector its long-desired seat in Congress. In view of this, the high court issued a temporary restraining order on the former Comelec commissioner’s substitution bid. “Based on the Supreme Court rulings, should there be any issue concerning the qualifications of the P3PWD party-list after the May 9, 2022 elections, it should be the House of Representatives Electoral Tribunal or HRET to make the decision.)
