YOUTH FINALLY HAS A SECTORAL REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS


Finally, the youth sector will have a genuine representative in Congress. As per Supreme Court ruling promulgated last April 21, Kabataan Partylist first nominee Raymond "Mong" Palatino together with 31 other additional partylist representatives will have a seat in the House of Rrepresentatives. The SC decision overturns the First Party Rule also known as the Panganiban Formula in allocating partylist seats.

This is a clear victory for the youth sector! Congratulations to all of us who have labored hard last national elections and have been continuously working for the interest of the youth and the whole society.
