BAGUIO CITY: A former chairman of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) has disclosed alleged rampant “corruption” in the registration of party-list groups that has seen them passed themselves off as “marginalized” and “vulnerable” when they actually are not.

Christian Monsod, also a member of the Constitutional Commission, on Friday said the Comelec is aware of such corruption in the registration of the party-list groups, but he does not understand why the dishonesty has not been stopped since the party-list system became part of the so-called democratic space.
