	GR Nos. 178831-32 2009-04-01	JOCELYN SY LIMKAICHONG v. COMELEC PERALTA, J.
Accordingly, after the proclamation of the winning candidate in the congressional elections, the remedy of those who may assail one's eligibility/ineligibility/qualification/disqualification is to file before the HRET a petition for an election protest, or a petition for quo warranto, within the period provided by the HRET Rules. In Pangilinan v. Commission on Elections,[66] we ruled that where the candidate has already been proclaimed winner in the congressional elections, the remedy of petitioner is to file an electoral protest with the Electoral Tribunal of the House of Representatives.

	GR NO. 163756 2005-01-26	GEORGIDI B. AGGABAO v. COMELEC YNARES-SANTIAGO, J.
In Pangilinan v. Commission on Elections[21] we ruled that:The Senate and the House of Representatives now have their respective Electoral Tribunals which are the "sole judge of all contests relating to the election, returns, and qualifications of their respective Members, thereby divesting the Commission on Elections of its jurisdiction under the 1973 Constitution over election cases pertaining to the election of the Members of the Batasang Pambansa (Congress).

Anent the attorney's fees, respondent alleges that complainant agreed to pay him P50,000 as attorney's fees, one-half of which is payable upon the filing of the Answer with Counterclaim[8] in Civil Case No. 10527 less the amount of P17,000.00 given as payment for past services. Complainant also agreed to pay him P1,000.00 per appearance. Hence, respondent avers that complainant still owed him P8,000.00 to complete the required one-half of the P50,000.00 attorney's fees, and P1,000.00 appearance fee for the hearing on April 15, 1993. Respondent further explained that he was willing to return complainant's files provided that he sign a receipt acknowledging the turn-over, but complainant refused to sign.
