MANILA, Philippines (Updated 5:07 p.m.) — The Commission on Elections has dropped Malasakit Movement Inc. from the final list of party-list candidates for the 2022 national polls.

 

In a notice signed by Clerk of Commission Genesis Gatdula, the Comelec said the group has been excluded from the list of candidates to appear on the ballot "in view of the resolution of its pending incident."

 

"Malasakit Movement was denied accreditation because they failed to meet the requirements for a sectoral party-list organization," Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez explained in a virtual presser later on Wednesday.
