Electoral System

5. 1. One-party system - An open
system of the one-party variety exists
in those jurisdictions in which a
particular party is so much stronger
than any of its nominal competitors
that it almost invariably is successful
in winning control of the government.
Example: North Korea, China

6. 2. Bi or two-party system - The
earmark of a two-party system is
their existence of two major parties
which are so strongly supported
that one or the other ordinarily
emerges as the victor in elections
and consequently gains mastery of
the government.

7. 3. Multiparty system - Multiple-party
systems are featured by the presence of
a fairly large number of parties with
compete with one another on relatively
equal terms. Several parties may be
considerably in comparison with their
minor competitors, but they lack the
strength of the major parties under a
genuine two-party system.

8.  There are several political parties that stand
for the election in the country.The
Nacionalista Party,the Liberal Party, the
Lakas-CMD, the PDP-LABAN, the Nationalist
People's Coalition, the Laban ng
Demokratikong Pilipino, the Akbayan and the
Philippine Democratic Socialist Party are the
parties with largest membership in Congress
