MANILA, Philippines — Some party-list group representatives agreed on Wednesday that the current party-list system needed to be reviewed. Meanwhile, Rep. Lito Atienza of the Buhay party-list group agreed that the existing party-list law should be amended. “So many things need to be reformed in the party-list law,” Atienza, speaking partly in Filipino, said in a separate interview. “No problem,” Romero told reporters in a separate interview when asked if he would support amending the current party-list law. A total of 51 party-list groups obtained at least one seat in the House of Representatives in the midterm elections.
