MANILA, Philippines The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has delisted 39 party-list organizations, just 15 months away from the May 2022 polls.
In its Resolution 10696 dated Feb. 17, 2021, the poll body said the registration of the 39 groups has been cancelled in accordance with the provisions in the Party-List System Act of 1995.
Of the number, 30 were dropped from the list “after failing to obtain at least two percent of the votes cast for the party-list system.” Aside from this, Comelec said they also failed to “obtain a seat in the second round of seat allocation for the party-list system in the last two preceding elections.”

The Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) has previously said a wage hike could lead to shutdowns of more establishments.
