"The SC en banc ruled to dismiss the findings of the Comelec that the Senior Citizens party-list must be disqualified in the May 13, 2013 elections for lack of merit. The Comelec en banc disqualified the said party-list group on the basis of the term-sharing agreement of their nominees. However, the SC ruled the term-sharing agreement is an internal agreement in the said party-list group and cannot be used by the Comelec as a ground for its disqualification since it has earned the mandate of the people. Because of the SC ruling, the Senior Citizens party-list is now entitled to two seats in the House of Representatives." - See more at: mediangbayan.ph/headline-news/11404-sc-junks-disqualification-of-senior-citizens-party-list#sthash.47VpoNZs.dpuf
