Decision 17 GR. No. 206952 requiring ABANG LINGKOD to prove its track record notwithstanding that a groups track record is no longer required pursuant to the Courts pronouncement in A tong Paglaum. Likewise, upholding the cancellation of ABANG LINGKODs registration, notwithstanding that it was able to obtain sufficient number of votes for a legislative seat, would serve no purpose other than to subve1t the will of the electorate who voted to give ABANG LINGKOD the privilege to represent them in the House of Representatives. WHEREFORE, in light of the foregoing disquisitions, the instant petition is hereby GRANTED. The Resolution dated May 10, 2013 issued by the Commission on Elections in SPP Case No. 12-238 (PLM), insofar as it affirmed the cancellation of ABANG LINGKODs registration and disallowed it to participate in the May 13, 2013 elections is REVERSED and SET ASIDE. The Commission on Elections is hereby ORDERED to PROCLAIM ABANG LINGKOD as one of the winning party-list groups during the May 13, 2013 elections with the number of seats it may be entitled to based on the total number of votes it garnered during the said elections.
