Rowena Guanzon on Tuesday claimed that some party-list group seats are for sale. ADVERTISEMENT“I’m personally against the gaming of the party-list rules because I’m sorry to say that in truth, a lot of party-list or some of them, sell their seats,” she said. “After they win, they change their representatives or nominees,” Guanzon added. She explained that party-list nominees can only withdraw, replace, or change the order of their list of nominees only up to the close of precincts on election day as provided for in the Party-list Act. ADVERTISEMENTThe Comelec will then inform the Speaker who the next nominee would be, based on the list submitted by the party-list organization.
