Abang Lingkod still waiting for Comelec proclamation

From the Visayan Daily Star (Nov 21): Abang Lingkod still waiting for Comelec proclamation

Abang Lingkod is waiting for a certificate of proclamation from the Commission on Elections, its first nominee Stephen Paduano, alias Carapali Lualhati, former national commander of the Revolutionary Proletarian Army-Alex Boncayao Brigade, said yesterday.

The Supreme Court, in an en banc decision, has ordered the Comelec to proclaim Abang Lingkod one of the winning partylist groups of the May 13 elections, with the number of seats it may be entitled to, based on the votes it garnered.

In its decision promulgated October 22 and posted on its website, the SC said the resolution issued by the Comelec on May 10 cancelling Abang Lingkod’s registration and disallowing its participation in the May 13 elections is reversed and set aside.

The Comelec has 15 days to answer the SC ruling, Paduano said.

He said that as first nominee, he expects to sit as Abang Lingkod’s representative in the House of Representatives.
