“Therefore, by virtue of the powers vested in the Comelec under Republic Act No. 7941, the Commission resolves to delist and cancel the registration of the following party-list groups/ organization and coalitions,” the resolution reads. 

“This resolution is without prejudice to the failure to file a Manifestation of Intent to Participate of retained partylist

groups or organizations, and to the filing of any Petitions for cancellation or disqualification against any party, organization, or coalition and/ or its nominees for the 12 May 2025 National and Local Elections,” it added. 

Meanwhile, Comelec chairperson George Erwin Garcia said at least 160 party-list organizations will be accredited for the 2025 NLE, of which 42 were new groups. 

“Mas mababa kumpara sa mga nakaraang election natin sa party list, ‘yung 42 na bilang na yan at bilang din ang kabuuan ng party-list na magpa-participate sa election sa 2025,” Garcia added. 

(The number of accredited groups  is lower than those accredited in 2022.)
