The Supreme Court has upheld the ruling of the Commission on Elections that canceled the registration of the An Waray party-list.In a statement, the SC said the Comelec has exclusive jurisdiction to the rule on the cancellation of party-list registrations under the Party-List System Act.
The court said it applied a test that found that the petition does not fall under the cases cognizable by the HRET.“Further, the Court held that, although it is An Waray which is voted for in the ballots during elections, it does not become a ‘Member’ of the HoR. Rather, it is its nominee who assumes as HoR Member, and who must have the qualifications and none of the disqualifications,” the SC PIO said.According to the High Court, the party-list violated NBOC Resolution No.
