HOUSE Speaker Prospero Nograles on Wednesday announced that the House of Representatives would petition the Supreme Court (SC) for a Declaratory Relief to usher in new partylist representatives in light of the recent High Court decision adding 32 party-list seats in the House.
THE Supreme Court ruling that will add 32 party-list seats to Congress would cost P2.5 billion and push the number of lawmakers past the 250 limit allowed by the Constitution, House leaders said yesterday.
