History
The Association of Philippine Electric Cooperatives (APEC) was formed for the purpose of joining the 1998 Philippine House of Representatives elections, the first ever election where party-list groups were elected to the lower house of the Congress. Five months prior to the election, electric cooperatives mostly from Mindanao hastily formed APEC including its names and nominees. It is the only organization garner more than 4 percent votes.
This along with the consequential lack of a track record caused APEC's eligibility be questioned before the Commission on Elections (Comelec) which was later won by the group. APEC insisted that it can't be faulted for the Comelec's late issuance of the implementing rules and regulations for Republic Act No. 7941 of the Partylist law.
