Comelec officially proclaims BH as winning party-list group
The Commission on Elections (Comelec), sitting as the National Board of Canvassers (NBOC), has formally proclaimed Bagong Henerasyon (BH) party-list as one of the winning party-list organizations for Eleksyon 2025. This developed after the Comelec en banc on Thursday issued a certificate of finality and entry of judgment on the disqualification case against the party-list and its nominees, clearing them for proclamation. Roberto Gerard Nazal Jr., BH party-list first nominee, will represent the group in the 20th Congress. He will serve for three years, or until June 30, 2028. The Comelec en banc last week rejected a motion for reconsideration filed by petitioner Russel Stanley Geronimo and affirmed a May 22 decision of the Comelec First Division that rejected the disqualification case due to procedural defect. According to Comelec Resolution No. 9523 in relation to Section 13(b), Rule 18 and Section 3, Rule 37 of the 1993 Comelec Rules of Procedures, a decision or a resolution of the Comelec en Banc on special actions will be final and executory after five days upon the receipt of the said decision and resolution except if the Supreme Court (SC) issues a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction. It can be recalled that the Comelec, sitting as the National Board of Canvassers, earlier postponed the proclamation of BH Party-list and Duterte Youth due to pending petitions filed against them. — RSJ, GMA Integrated News For more Eleksyon 2025 related content and updates, visit GMA News Online's Eleksyon 2025 microsite.

Comelec to proclaim BH party-list next week
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is set to proclaim Bagong Henerasyon (BH) party-list next week following the junking of the petition for disqualification filed against the group and its nominees. This developed after the poll body en banc issued a certificate of finality and entry of judgment on the disqualification case Thursday, saying it did not receive a restraining order on its decision that upheld the dismissal of the petition. ''Yun ay order certifying na final na ang decision ng en banc at ang tinatawag na entry of judgment. Ibig sabihin, wala kaming nakuha na restraining order mula sa Kataastaasang Hukuman,' poll chief George Erwin Garcia told reporters. (We issued that order certifying the en banc decision and entry of judgment is now final. This is because we did not receive any restraining order from the Supreme Court.) 'Hindi kami informed kung may finile na kaso and at this point, ang decision ng en banc ay executory. Asahan po ng lahat na we will be proclaiming BH any moment from now at kinakailangan na maibigay namin sa kanila ang tinatawag na of certificate of proclamation,' he said. (We were not informed if any case was filed and at this point, the decision is now executory. The public may expect BH partylist to be proclaimed at any moment as we need to issue a certificate of proclamation to them.) According to Comelec Resolution No. 9523 in relation to Section 13(b), Rule 18 and Section 3, Rule 37 of the 1993 Comelec Rules of Procedures, a decision or a resolution of the Comelec en Banc on special actions will be final and executory after five days upon the receipt of the said decision and resolution except if the Supreme Court (SC) issues a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction. The Comelec en banc last week rejected a motion for reconsideration filed by petitioner Russel Stanley Geronimo and affirmed a May 22 decision of the Comelec First Division that rejected the disqualification case due to a procedural defect. Garcia said the partylist may be proclaimed at the Comelec office in Intramuros, Manila next week. To recall, the Comelec, sitting as the National Board of Canvassers, earlier postponed the proclamation of BH Party-list and Duterte Youth due to pending petitions filed against them. —LDF, GMA Integrated News
