THE Supreme Court has ruled that party-list organizations do not necessarily have to represent marginalized and under-represented sectors, a decision that would give the 41 groups earlier disqualified by the Commission on Elections a fresh chance to qualify for the May 13 elections.
In a decision penned by Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio, the high court remanded 41 party-list cases to the Comelec for re-hearing using the new guidelines it issued in accrediting party-lists.
