The Elections for the House of Representatives of the Philippines were held on May 11, 1998. Held on the same day as the presidential election, the party of the incumbent president, Fidel V. Ramos' Lakas-NUCD-UMDP, won majority of the seats in the House of Representatives. For the first time since the People Power Revolution, a party won majority of the seats in the House; Lakas had a seat over the majority. This is also the first Philippine elections that included the party-list system.〔http://cpcabrisbane.org/Kasama/2003/V17n3/PartyList.htm〕 However, with Joseph Estrada of the opposition Laban ng Makabayang Masang Pilipino (LAMMP; an electoral alliance between the Partido ng Masang Pilipino (PMP), the NPC and the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino (LDP)) winning the presidential election, the majority of the elected Lakas-NUCD-UMDP congressmen switched sides to LAMMP. This led to Manny Villar (formerly of Lakas but became a LAMMP member prior to the election) on being elected as Speaker of the House The elected representatives will serve in the 11th Congress from 1998 to 2001. ==Results== Elections within each district were under the plurality system. In 1998 was the first party-list election. Previously, sectoral representatives were appointed by the president. |} : Unfilled party-list seats There were 51 seats for sectoral representatives that were contested. Each party has to get 2% of the national vote to win one seat; they'd win an additional seat for every 2% of the vote, up to the maximum three seats. Only 15 party-list representatives were elected under this rule. Eventually, the "2–4–6%" rule was ruled as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, and 24 more winners were proclaimed. The remaining 12 seats were never filled up. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Philippine House of Representatives elections, 1998」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
