G.R. No. 246816, 15 September 2020,
EN BANC (Lazaro Javier, J.)
CASE DOCTRINE:
Section 5(1), Article VI of the
1987 Constitution mandates
that the party-list system shall
compose twenty percent (20%)
of the total membership in the
House of Representatives.
But the matter on how party-
lists should qualify for a seat is
left to the wisdom of the
legislature.
