Which sectors were prioritized for party-list seats after ratification? For three consecutive terms after ratification, seats were allocated to specific marginalized groups. These sectors include labor, peasant, urban poor, indigenous cultural communities, women, and youth. The religious sector is explicitly excluded from being represented through this specific allocation. These details are found in Article VI, Section 5 2 1987 Philippine Constitution. “For three consecutive terms after the ratification of this Constitution, one-half of the seats allocated to party-list representatives shall be filled, as provided by law, by selection or election from the labor, peasant, urban poor, indigenous cultural communities, women, youth, and such other sectors as may be provided by law, except the religious sector.” 01-Feb-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
