well most of the party list registered now are run by politician who can't win if they are a candidate in a regular election so they tap a party list konohay representing this sector of people but truly there not just wait and see. The other party list are run by leftist who's aim is to make samok samok sa goverment and to get funding for their cause thru the cdf of a congressman. remember a party list is the one being voted not the person if the party wins they have their no.1 person to be endorsed as their representative to be their congressman.thats why nag ask ko ngano makaregister, makadaog kaning manga party list na wlay tinood na representation sa mga sector na ila gi claim ?? why don't people who truly represents and members from different sector organize a party list. ngutana ko thru this thread aron makabalo sila unsaon basig na ay ganahan mag organize og party list na tinood gyud ang tumong... just my thought guys ibalhin lang if wla ma belong dire.
