The Supreme Court (SC) has thrown out several petitions assailing proclamations of party-list representatives from Mindanao, citing lack of jurisdiction.

In a full-court ruling dated February 3, 3015 but released to the media just recently, the tribunal dismissed the petitions filed by several individuals against the proclamations of Anak Mindanao party-list’s first nominee Sitti Djalia Turabin-Hataman and other nominees.
