MANILA, Philippines — An Waray party-list appealed to reconsider the Commission on Elections decision to revoke the party’s registration for allowing the then-second nominee, Victoria Isabel Noel, to assume one seat in the House of Representatives without proper authority back in 2016.ADVERTISEMENT In a motion for reconsideration filed before Comelec on June 2, An Waray argued that Comelec’s resolution should be reversed “for insufficiency of evidence to justify the decision and for being contrary to law.”
An Waray said in its motion that the candidate in a party-list system is the organization itself. Hence, what is being proclaimed is the party and not its nominee.
