Metro Manila, Philippines – The Commission on Elections (Comelec) proclaimed the three party-lists that will take the three seats secured by the Duterte Youth party-list after its registration was canceled.
Abono, Ang Probinsyano, and Murang Kuryente party-lists were proclaimed at the Comelec session hall on Thursday, Oct. 2.
The party-list nominees are Robert Raymund Estrella for Abono, Alfred Delos Santos for Ang Probinsyano, and former Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap for Murang Kuryente.
The Comelec canceled the registration of the Duterte Youth with finality on Wednesday due to several grounds, including “untruthful” statements on the eligibility of its nominees and absence of bona fide intention to represent the sector.
