Party-list group not accepting defeat

THE Confederation of Non-Stock Savings and Loan Associations Inc. (Consla) is not taking its defeat in the party-list election sitting down without an acceptable explanation of the supposed discrepancies in the results released by the Commission on Elections (Comelec) and citizen arm Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) regarding the total number of votes it received in the May 9 polls.

The Consla first nominee, retired Col. Ricardo Nolasco, appealed over the weekend to President Rodrigo Duterte for help, after the group filed a motion for intervention before the Supreme Court (SC) to compel the Comelec to conduct an independent investigation of its complaint.
