Anti-Corruption Partylist YACAP Nominee ALEXIS WAYNE P. VALDIVIA is currently an employee of Rep. Miguel Zubiri and is rumored to have records of funds malversation in his dealings. His colleagues in this partylist must execute an identity investigation in choosing their nominees. Unless, the partylist is a complete irony of what it claims it stands for. I wonder how he runs Zubiri’s campaign being the so-called chief of staff. Shameful is such an understatement for this.

Not sure where you got your information, but PEP is NOT among the PLs being alleged by Akbayan as an administration-front. We welcome plurality in Congress and genuine party-list groups which truly represent the underepresented without the financial and institutional backing from Malacanang.

Just to clarify po…

Just to let you know I posted your comments at Pedestrian Observer together with the scanned OEA documents in question.

SC orders Comelec to release partylist nominees

Excerpts: MANILA, Philippines — The Supreme Court has ordered the Commission on Elections to immediately disclose the partylist nominees.

In a consolidated decision penned by Associate Justice Cancio Garcia, the High Court also ruled that it was the responsibility of the Comelec to determine the qualifications of the partylist groups.

On the issue of releasing the list of nominees, the high tribunal agreed with petitioners Akbayan and Kilosbayan that non-disclosure was against the public’s right to information, which violated Article 2 and Article 3 of the Constitution.

The high tribunal cited Article III Section 7 of the Constitution, which provided “the right of the people to information on matters of public concern shall be recognized…”

It also pointed to Section 28 Article II of the Constitution which provided that “Subject to reasonable conditions prescribed by law, the State adopts and implements a policy of full public disclosure of all its transactions involving public interest.”

The High Court said, “The people have the right to elect their representatives based on an informed judgment.”

The high tribunal gave the Comelec five days upon receipt of the decision to provide the court copies of the nominees.

The court ruling on the Comelec’s role in determining the qualifications of partylist groups was sought by Bantay Republic 7941 and Urban Poor for Legal Reforms.

In their petition, the two told the High Court that the Comelec had violated the eight-point guidelines it had set to determine which organizations were qualified as partylist groups.

The court said determining the qualifications dealt with factual issues, which the Comelec was in a position to decide.

Kung sabagay, halatang grupo kayo ng malacanang dahil katonong-katono ninyo sila magsalita at pumostura.

Hindi namin kailangang mangumbinsi para paniwalaan. Pinaniniwalaan na kami dati pa. Magbasa at magsuri kasi kayo ng survey, puro militanteng party-list orgs ang nangunguna. Samantalang kayo, bistado na at nailantad na mga bayaran, ahente reaksyonaryo at tuta ng palasyo.

Sino ang sexist? excuse me po, pero tila Babae ka yata yon. Babae ka nga ang pangalan pero wala naman ginawa para sa interes na kababaihan. sagutin na lang ninyo tanong ni violent dispersal kung nasaan grupo ninyo sa iba’t ibang isyu tungkol sa kababaihan na wala kayong ginawa at pagtugon bukod sa magpapirma para sa cha-cha ni GMA.

Alam ninyo, kahit isang milyon pang Press releases, statements at blogs ang likhain ninyo hindi na ninyo maitatanggi na sindikato kayo ng Malacanang, patakbuhing tuta ng OEA at mga bayarang grupo. Hindi bobo ang masa, alam nila kapag peke ang isang grupo at nanlalansi.

bistado na kayo. huling huli na. Kawawa naman ang mga kababaihan na niloloko ninyo. tumigil na kayo. balik na lang kayo sa OEA at gmawa ng mga project proposal para sa mga pro-GMA rallies ninyo na nilalangaw. O baka naman hindi na kayo makabalik dahil nag-rigodon ang OEA ngayon dahil masyado garapal at krudo racket ninyo eh.

Sally, musta negosyo natin sa OEA? Kinakamusta ka nga pala ni Tamayo, bakit mo aw sila inisahan at niloko. Ruth, musta racket at bayaran sa Sigaw ng Bayan, spokesperson pa rin ba?

Lagi,
