Increase in number of Taguig councilors questioned at SC

Quick Summary:

RETIRED Supreme Court Associate Justice Dante Tinga has asked the Court to declare as unconstitutional the ordinance passed by the Taguig City Council in September that increased the number of councilor seats of the city from eight to 12 per councilor district.

Tinga noted that the said concurrent resolution of both chambers does not have “the force and effect of law” since it did not undergo the prescribed three readings for a measure to become law under the Constitution.

THE Comelec on Monday defended its adoption of the Taguig city ordinance, following a petition to block the move.
