These contests relate to the election, returns, and qualifications of their respective members. This makes them the ultimate authority on membership disputes. This role is defined in Article VI, Section 17 1987 Philippine Constitution. “SECTION 17. The Senate and the House of Representatives shall each have an Electoral Tribunal which shall be the sole judge of all contests relating to the election, returns, and qualifications of their respective Members.” 01-Feb-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
