According to Babae Ka, Akbayan should be disqualified because it divulged to the public the names of Babae Ka''s nominees.


"They should have filed it on April 1 (Fool''s Day), so that at least the public would take it as it is - as a joke," Akbayan said in a statement in reaction to what was published in this paper last week.

                    [Summary] => 

The Akbayan party-list group calls the disqualification letter submitted by another party-list group, Babae Ka, to the Commission on Elections "breathtakingly silly."


According to Babae Ka, Akbayan should be disqualified because it divulged to the public the names of Babae Ka''s nominees.


"They should have filed it on April 1 (Fool''s Day), so that at least the public would take it as it is - as a joke," Akbayan said in a statement in reaction to what was published in this paper last week.

                    [Summary] => 

The party-list group, Babae para sa Kaunlaran (Babae Ka) has formally urged the Commission on Elections to disqualify Akbayan Citizen''s Action Party "for violating the laws, and regulations of the Commission on Elections pertaining to the party-list system."


In a letter addressed to Comelec chairman Benjamin Abalos Jr., Babae Ka chairwoman Rosalina Dagami and president Ruth Vasquez said that "Akbayan did not only leak the names of nominees.  The leaders of this party-list coalition purportedly used the names of the nominees to gain media mileage and electoral projection."
