152 File Candidacy for Senate but Comelec to Weed out Nuisance Candidates by Kia Obang and Dave Abuel, ABS-CBN Investigative and Research Group 152 file candidacy for senate but Comelec to weed out nuisance candidates By Kia Obang and Dave Abuel, ABS-CBN Investigative and Research Group Farmers, teachers, a vocalist of a rock band—they are among the 152 senatorial aspirants who filed their Certificates of Candidacy for the May 2019 mid-term elections—20 less than the 172 COC filers in 2016. Only about 1 out of every 10 senatorial aspirants are women (14%). Nearly half of them indicated that they are running as independent candidates. The youngest of them, Armelsen Palencia, is 33 years old and the oldest, former senator Juan Ponce Enrile, is 94. However, the minimum age requirement for senator is 35 years per the 1987 Constitution, and Palencia will likely be among those who will not be allowed by Comelec to run. In fact, of the 152 who filed their COC for senator for next year’s elections, it is likely that only about a third will be declared official candidates. This happened in the last elections, when Comelec declared as nuisance candidates 65% (112) of the 172 COC filers for senator, leaving only 50 official candidates for senator in the 2016 elections. Comelec will be evaluating the COCs and declare as nuisance candidates those who will be found to “put the election process in mockery or disrepute,” those who do not have a “bona fide intention to run,” and whether they have the capacity to wage a nationwide campaign, per the Omnibus Election Code and Comelec issuances. The Commission has until December 15 to decide on the official list of candidates for the 2019 elections, Comelec Spokesman James Jimenez said.

    Refugee Review Tribunal AUSTRALIA RRT RESEARCH RESPONSE Research Response Number: PHL32251 Country: Philippines Date: 27 September 2007 Keywords: Philippines – Bayan Muna – Security forces – State protection This response was prepared by the Research & Information Services Section of the Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT) after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the RRT within time constraints.

Bayan Muna is ideologically close to the Communist Party (CPP) and, along with other left-wing parties, is often accused by the military of being a front for the CPP’s underground organisations and the New People’s Army (NPA) (‘Commitment and 1 In the Philippines, the terms “the left” or “leftists” encompass a broad range of political meaning.

  • The Philippine Left in a Changing Land
    The Philippine Left in a Changing Land On October 21 nine members of the Philippine National Federation of Sugar Workers were shot dead while participating in a protest. The killers are assumed to be employed by local capitalists. Killings of union, peasant, and other activists have increased sharply under President Duterte. Dozens of activists have already been killed. Under Duterte’s authoritarian rule, the Philippine left is faced with new difficulties. Three weeks before the killings of the trade unionists, the Philippine Daily Enquirer published the headline “Duterte fires last leftist in government.” The leftist in question is Joel Maglunsod, undersecretary of the Department of Labor and Employment, formerly a leader of the Kilusan Mayo Uno trade- union movement.1 Meanwhile, attacks by the armed wing of the Maoist Communist Party of the Philippines, the New People’s Army (NPA), increased after a ceasefire broke down in early 2017. Lasting roughly half a year, it was the longest ceasefire ever between the NPA and a Philippine government. But even when it still had allies in the government, the CPP had begun to denounce the Duterte regime as fascist and a pawn of the United States. How to explain such contradictions? Much international news about Duterte is concerned with the “war on drugs” he unleashed. Since Duterte assumed office in July 2016, conservative estimates indicate that the police or state- sponsored death squads have killed more than 12,000, almost exclusively from the most impoverished sections of Philippine society. The real number of casualties is likely much higher. During his presidential campaign, Duterte made clear that he was planning to organize large-scale violence.
