Elections were held for seats reserved for the party-list representation in the House of Representatives of the Philippines on May 9, 2016.
As a result of the creation of new legislative districts during the 16th Congress, the number of party-list seats available for the 2016 elections was increased by one.
On December 14, 2015, the commission raffled the parties on the order that they will appear on the ballot, as was done in the 2013 elections.
One of them is Gabriela, which stated that the computation for the total number of seats assigned for party-list was erroneous.
They said that Coop-NATCCO, based on its total number of votes, was entitled to only one seat, but instead COMELEC proclaimed two representatives from the party.
