Fourteen party-list groups would have been assured of one seat each in the House of Representatives had the election been held last quarter, the results of the latest Pulse Asia survey showed. Of the 134 party-list groups accredited by the Commission on Elections (Comelec), 14 had managed to each get a 2-percent support from voters, assuring them of one seat in the House during the first round of seat allocation. Five party-list groups each garnered the maximum three seats in the House: Bayan Muna, Magsasaka, Gabriela Women’s Party, Ako Bicol and A Teacher. Other party-list groups which are assured of at least one seat are: Senior Citizens, Buhay, Akbayan, Amin, An Waray, Kalinga, Anakpawis, Cibac and Angkla. Gabriela on Thursday welcomed the results of the survey, which showed it ranking third among 134 party-list groups vying for congressional seats.
