ΤΓΦ Triskelions’ in a Dynamic Enterprise

The Bagong Tao Movement (BTM) is a party-list duly accredited with the COMELEC for the forthcoming May (2004) 2007 elections and who seeks to represent the aspirations and objectives of the Filipino youth and the urban poor. It was founded in 2003 by college graduates of the University of the Philippines (Diliman, Q.C.) who believe that before we can truly make any lasting changes in the socio-political and economic situation which the country badly needs today, there must, first of all, be a transformation of the hearts, minds and attitudes of the individual Filipino. BTM and its coalition partners firmly believe that if only the Filipino people who pride themselves to be the only Christian country in Asia,  would only practice what they supposedly believe either as Christians or even Moslems, then, we would not have the kind of graft and corruption so prevalent in our government along with the accompanying and pervading sense of immorality and depravity, violence and hate fueled by lingering hostilities and decades of attrition and a society beleaguered by greed, envy, bickering and selfish rivalries,  lack of self-discipline, lack of social consciousness and concern and a general sense of despair and hopelessness.

Sixteen party-list groups are on track to getting into Congress, led by Buhay and Bayan Muna that could each get the maximum three seats, based on the Commission on Elections’ partial official tally as of 6:15 p.m, Wednesday.

Buhay (845,540 votes), backed by Mike Velarde of the Catholic evangelical group El Shaddai, was on top with 8.4 percent of 10,070,691 party-list votes counted. The militant Bayan Muna (691,011) followed with 6.86 percent. Both party-list groups could each get three seats in the House of Representatives.

Cibac (493,923) took 4.9 percent, which would give it two seats.

On track to winning a seat each are 13 party-list groups: Gabriela (399,921), 3.97 percent; APEC (389,547), 3.87 percent; A Teacher (345,235), 3.43 percent; Alagad (333,264), 3.31 percent; Abono (324,631), 3.22 percent; Butil (313,840), 3.12 percent; Akbayan (288,829), 2.87 percent; AGAP (278,779), 2.77 percent; Anakpawis (258,810), 2.57 percent; Batas (258,804), 2.57 percent; ARC (255,023), 2.53 percent; Coop-Natco (250,178), 2.48 percent; and An Waray (203,745), 2.02 percent.

A group that receives 6 percent or more of party-list votes gets three seats in the House of Representatives. A group with at least 4 percent gets two seats, and one with at least 2 percent gets one seat.

The Comelec partial tally also showed that 77 other accredited groups have not received the minimum 2 percent of party-list votes.

In addition to more than 200 Representatives voted at the district level, there can be a maximum of 50 party-list seats in the House, although only close to half are typically filled following elections. -Amita Legaspi, GMANews.TV http://www.pinoyvote.info/content/view/873/66/
