'Political dynasties' haunt party-list system
Commission on Elections (Comelec) Chairman Sixto Brillantes on Wednesday maintained his personal stand against party-list groups whose nominees come from the same family or clan.
He told radio dzMM that the subject is still up for debate among members of the commission en banc.
Brillantes said the next announcement of cancellations of party-list registration and denials of party-list applications will be made next week.
He hopes for the poll body to release all cancellations and denials by November 15 and publish the final list of those who are approved for participation in the May 2013 elections by end of November.
Brillantes also hopes that the Supreme Court can, by December, rule on the appeal of those whose registrations were cancelled and denied by the Comelec, in time for the configuration of PCOS machines in January.
