The party-list group ABA (Alyansang Bayanihan ng mga Magsasaka, Manggagawang-Bukid at Mangingisda) has asked the Commission on Elections to ban from participation in the May 2010 party-list elections an organization advocating “short-term” marriage contracts. It said the proposal of the newly created Isa-AKO Babaeng Astig Aasenso (1-ABAA) to limit marriages to renewable ten-year periods violates the Constitution and is enough ground to disqualify or remove the party-list accreditation of the group.
