Fourteen UP Diliman students – currently enrolled in Journalism 117 (Online Journalism) this semester handled by Assoc. Prof. Danilo Arao – wrote a three-part report on the party-list system. The report had been published in alternative news media websites like Bulatlat and Kodao Productions. The report explains the nature of party-list representation in the 15th, 16th and 17th Congresses.
