00:00In the more than 300 members of the House of Representatives or CAMRA, 20% of them are considered to be party-list representatives.

00:15Based on the 1987 Constitution, they should have an integrated sector of society,

00:20such as workers, the poor, indigenous cultural communities, women, youth, and others.

00:28But after almost three decades, there was a change following the Supreme Court's decision.

00:34The nominee of a running party-list does not need to come from the same sector.

00:40He can also be a nominee as long as he is a member of a party-list or an organization

00:44or has a track record of advocacy for the chosen sector that he will represent.

00:49According to the election watchdog group Contra Daya,

00:52more than half of the 156 candidate groups in the 2025 election do not belong to the poor or marginalized sector.

01:03More than 25% of party-list members have a nominee from the political dynasty.

01:0925% have connections in large businesses.

01:14Some nominees also have connections with the police or military.

01:18There are also those with dubious advocacy or are involved in cases of treason.

01:27It's a big number to be worried about.

01:29In fact, I can even argue that even if it's just one, the political clan, it's still a big issue

01:35because our party-list system should only be for the marginalized and underrepresented.

01:41Scrutiny measures on who, which party-list to accredit.

01:46I hope that the commissioners are also thinking about that.

01:50According to the election watchdog group, they are already tightening their grip.

01:52But they are already holding their hands because of the Supreme Court's decision and party-list law.

02:01That's why we have a period where a person, a group, a registered voter

02:07can file a petition to deny due course or cancel a nomination.

02:13Unfortunately, we still don't have an anti-political dynasty law in the Philippines.

02:20Despite the broken party-list system, we should still remember this election 2025

02:25that its original intention is to be the voice of the marginalized and underrepresented.

02:32This is the GMA Regional TV News.

02:37Breaking news in Visayas and Mindanao from GMA Regional TV.

02:41A 3-year-old boy was injured after he was hit by a car in Cotabato City.

02:46Sara, what happened?

02:48Rafi, the boy was hit by a pickup truck.

03:19He climbed up and got under the car.

03:22The pickup truck did not stop and he still ran.

03:32According to the parents, they were not able to cross the road with their son.

03:43did not say anything.

03:45The victim's 18-year-old son, who drowned in a river in Brangay Puntud in Cagayan de Oro City,

03:51was not alive when he arrived.

04:24who was also with the lovers when the incident happened.

04:29A police staff sergeant who has been working in General Santos City for almost 10 years was arrested in the Entrapment Operation.
