Same; The law does not distinguish between the first ranking
party and the rest of the other 2 percenters insofar as obtaining
additional seats is concerned.—If the formula applies only to the
first party, then it is no formula at all because it is incapable of
consistent and general application. It is even iniquitous. If a party
got 5.5 percent of the votes and is given two (2) seats, it is hard to
see why the next ranking party, which got 5 percent of the votes
should get only one (1) seat. Indeed, the law does not distinguish
between the first ranking party and the rest of the other 2
percenters insofar as obtaining additional seats are concerned.
The law provides that “those garnering, more than two percent
(2%) of the votes shall be entitled to additional seats in proportion
to their total number of votes.” The operative word is “their”
which refers to none other than the total number of votes cast for
the 2 percenters. The £lain language of the law is that the basis
for the allocation of additional seats is the total number of votes
cast for the 2 percenters. This rule applies to all parties obtaining
more than 2 percent of the votes cast for the winning parties.
Same; Republic Act 7941, §11 requires the determination of
two types of proportions—first, the determination of the proportion
of the votes obtained by a party in relation to the total number of
votes cast for the party list, and, second, is the determination of
number of votes a party obtained in proportion to the number of
votes cast for all the parties obtaining at least 2 percent of the
votes.—RA. No. 7941, §11 requires the determination of two types
of proportions. The first is the determination of the proportion of
the votes obtained by a party in relation to the total number of
votes cast for the party-list. The purpose of the rule is to
determine whether a party was able to hurdle the 2 percent
threshold. The second is the determination of number of votes a
party obtained in proportion to the number of votes cast for all the
parties obtaining at least 2 percent of the votes. The purpose for
determining the second proportion is to allocate the seats left
after the initial allocation of one (1) seat each to every 2
percenter. The total number of votes obtained by a party in
relation to the total number of votes obtained by all 2 percenters
is multiplied by the remaining number of seats.
Same; Only in a Pickwickian sense can the result of the
application of the majority “formula” be considered proportional
representation.—In essence, the majority “formula” amounts
simply to the following prescription: (1) follow the “1 seat for
every 2%” rule in allocating seats to the first ranking party only
and (2) with respect to the rest of the 2 percenters, give each
party one (1) seat, unless the first ranking party gets at least six

This formulation means that any increase in the number
of district representatives, as may be provided by law, will
necessarily result in a corresponding increase in the
number of party-list seats. To illustrate, considering that
there were 208 district representatives to be elected during
the 1998 national elections, the number of party-list seats
would be 52, computed as follows:

less than four percent, then the first party shall not be
entitled to any additional seat.
We adopted this six percent bench mark, because the
first party is not always entitled to the maximum number
of additional seats. Likewise, it would prevent the
allotment of more than the total number of available seats,
such as in an extreme case wherein 18 or more parties tie
for the highest rank and are thus entitled to three seats
each. In such scenario, the number of seats to which all the
parties are entitled may exceed the maximum number of
party-list seats reserved in the House of Representatives.
Applying the above formula, APEC, which received 5.5%
of the total votes cast, is entitled to one additional seat or a
total of two seats.
Note that the above formula will be applicable only in
determining the number of additional seats the first party
is entitled to. It cannot be used to determine the number of
additional seats of the other qualified parties. As explained
earlier, the use of the same formula for all would
contravene the proportional representation parameter. For
example, a second party obtains six percent of the total
number of votes cast. According to the above formula, the
said party would be entitled to two additional seats or a
total of three seats overall. However, if the first party
received a significantly higher amount of votes—say,
twenty percent—to grant it the same number of seats as
the second party would violate the statutory mandate of
proportional representation, since a party

“What does that mean? It means that any group or party who
has a constituency of, say, 500,000 nationwide gets a seat in the
National Assembly. What is the justification for that? When we
allocate legislative districts, we are saying that any district that
has 200,000 votes gets a seat. There is no reason why a group that
has a national constituency, even if it is a sectoral or special
interest group, should not have a voice in the National Assembly,
x x x If each of them gets only one percent or five of them get one
percent, they are not entitled to any representative. So, they will
begin to think that if they really have a common interest, they
should band together, form a coalition and get five percent of the
vote and, therefore, have two seats in the Assembly. Those are the
dynamics of a party list system.
“We feel that this approach gets around the mechanics of
sectoral representation while at the same time making sure that
those who really have a national constituency or sectoral
constituency

will get a chance to have a seat in the National
Assembly.
