                    [Summary] => As administration lawmakers expressed hopes of finishing the canvassing this week, opposition Sen. Aquilino Pimentel Jr. is expected to question the legality and constitutionality of the canvassing of votes for president and vice president when Congress is supposed to be no longer in session.


"I will raise the issue before the joint committee (this morning)," said Pimentel, one of five opposition senators sitting on the panel. "It is a legitimate question and we ought to bring our heads together to find a feasible solution."

With the 12th Congress ending its third and fourth regular sessions last week, the joint canvassing committee is without a "parent," Pimentel said.

"Can the committee continue to function without its parent? Assuming it can, to what body would it submit its report? Would it be to the outgoing Congress that is now non-existent, or to the incoming 13th Congress that will begin its first session on the fourth Monday of July?" Pimentel asked.
