TALAB 2025 - THE SILENCED MINORITY: DOES THE PARTYLIST SYSTEM TRULY REPRESENT THE EXCLUDED, THE MARGINALIZED AND THE UNDERREPRESENTED?
Who really speaks for the marginalized?
As we walk with the excluded this TALAB 2025, join us in unpacking one of the country’s most debated democratic systems — the Party-List System.
Three decades since its establishment, it was meant to give the marginalized a voice in Congress — but has it truly fulfilled that promise? To explore its legal foundations, political realities, and the ongoing struggle to ensure genuine representation for those long silenced by power, we invite you to our TALAB Talk on:
📅 October 14, 2025 (Tuesday)
🕗 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM
📍 Leong Hall Auditorium
Speakers:
👤 Rep. Chel Diokno, Akbayan Partylist, House of Representatives
👤 Atty. Eugene Kaw, Chair, Marketing and Law Department, JGSOM
👤 Atty. Gilbert Lauengco, Faculty, Marketing and Law Department, JGSOM
Organized by the Marketing and Law Department (MAL) and the Ateneo COMELEC, in collaboration with JGSOM Sanggunian and AJMA.
