The following partylists have also ran under the bloc:
In 2016, the Commission on Elections disqualified the Akap Bata and Katribu partylists for failure to acquire the necessary votes.[3]
In 2024, COMELEC delisted and canceled the registration of Anakpawis ahead of the 2025 Philippine general election for "failing to obtain at least two (20) percent of votes cast for the party-list system and failed to obtain a seat in the last two (2) preceding elections."[4]

In November 2021, the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group filed charges of two counts of cyberlibel (violation of the Republic Act No. 10175) against an incumbent and three former Makabayan representatives, former Bayan Muna Rep. Carlos Isagani Zarate and three leaders of the Gabriela Women's Party, Rep. Arlene Brosas, spokesperson Luzviminda Ilagan, and Liza Maza, after the four allegedly made statements accusing the Philippine National Police of red-tagging and planting of evidence. The case stemmed from a CIDG operation on that month to implement a 2015 arrest warrant against an individual for murder. The Department of Justice, in a resolution dated May 12, 2022 but only publicized in September, dismissed the charges for lack of merit.[7] [8]
