G.R. No. 147613 June 26, 2001
BAYAN MUNA vs. Comelec
Facts
Petitioners
challenged the Comelec’s Omnibus Resolution No. 3785, which approved the
participation of 154 organizations and parties, including those herein
impleaded, in the 2001 party-list elections. Petitioners sought the
disqualification of private respondents, arguing mainly that the party-list
system was intended to benefit the marginalized and underrepresented; not the
mainstream political parties, the non-marginalized or overrepresented. Unsatisfied with the pace by which Comelec
acted on their petition, petitioners elevated the issue to the Supreme Court.
Issue:
1.
Whether or
not petitioner’s recourse to the Court was proper.
2.
Whether or
not political parties may participate in the
party list elections.
3.
Whether or not the Comelec committed grave abuse of discretion in
promulgating Omnibus Resolution No. 3785.
