Party-List System

[edit]

I added a bit about the change of the Comelec formula this year but more needs to be done. I don't have the time to figure out how to explain it. --Bruce Hall 13:35, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redistricting

[edit]

In all democracies that I am familiar with, redistricting is an important issue. How are districts decided? When, if ever, is there a redistricting? Are these questions appropriate for this article? --Bruce Hall 09:33, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The composition of the districts was appended in the constitution; there is no redistricting although districts can be divided by an act of Congress, hence some districts may have larger population than the others. –Howard the Duck 16:43, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Phil HOR.png

[edit]

Image:Phil HOR.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit]

I have deleted a section that was entirely copied from [1], which furthermore is entirely irrelevant to the article.

How many members?

[edit]

The article is vague. There are 234 legislative districts but is there one representative per district? There are also party-list representatives but is this in addition to the district representatives? Is there a fixed number of members, or does the number vary by some scheme? 3dimen (talk) 01:39, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It varies every after election. Every 5 new districts created means one seat is also created for a party-list member. –HTD 11:49, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Too much graph

[edit]

The article suffers from too much graph, tables and the likes rather than contents in a paragraph. -- Namayan (talk) 00:21, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Current Composition

[edit]

I have been trying desperately to change the inaccurate composition in this article, and the Coalition for Change article as well. There have been obvious numerous changes in the composition of the House, especially the sectoral composition, the blocs, the largest party (PDP-Laban) and so on. The article is, so to say, outdated. However, it has been difficult for me to do all the work in researching the party compositions, since there is only the official House website which is reliable enough to be considered accurate. Someone must update the article, it is inaccurately outdated. EDITOR685422 (talk) 10:57, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is has been a current ongoing issue. It's really hard to get info about the party affiliations of each member. I contacted the Secretariat of the House of Representatives before and they don't have this info. I've tried contacting individual parties too but had no luck. What we can only do is wait for the filing of candidacies on October to see the party affiliations of the members running again in the next 2019 elections based on the COMELEC data. --Janbryan (talk) 05:42, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As of September 1, 2019, the House composition has been so far accurate. Recent official documents suggest that there are 299 representatives, with one representative dropped from the roll back in August. However, the composition section of the article needs to be updated and there seems to be an error (text appearing where they shouldn't be in). Someone needs to take a look at that. Thank you. I'll try getting accurate and official documents to further help in making this article more accurate. EDITOR685422 (talk) 11:53, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New graphical representation of HOR seats

[edit]

It seems like they've changed the seating arrangement of the House of Representatives chamber to a hemicycle. Can this change be reflected in the graphical representations of the chamber floor on the page? 119.93.207.158 (talk) 09:34, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This has been done. Howard the Duck (talk) 13:00, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
