Comelec binasura mga appeal na i-DQ si BBM

WE are happy to receive the news that the Comelec En Banc has dismissed all the Motions for Reconsideration on the DQ cases which the First and Second Divisions have earlier ruled in favor of frontrunner Bongbong Marcos. We have always believed that the poll body will stay true to its mandate to deliver a fair, honest and credible elections, including the dismissal of unmeritorious and politically-motivated petitions such as these.”

Ito ang pahayag ni Atty. Vic Rodriguez, chief of staff at spokesman ng napipintong 17th Presidente ng Pilipinas na si Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr. matapos idismiss ng Commission on Elections (Comelec) ang mga motions for reconsideration sa dalawang set ng petition na humihiling na ma-disqualify sa pagtakbo sa pagka-Pangulo si Marcos.

“The unanimous En Banc decision has proven, once and for all, that no amount of undue political pressure can weaken the resolve of the honorable Commission to be on the side of truth and justice,” dagdag ni Marcos.

Noong Martes, ipinalabas ng Comelec en banc ang desisyon sa petitionna kailangan umanong ma-disqualify si Marcos dahil sa umano hindi niya pag-file ng income tax returns mula 1982 hanggang 1985 nang public official siya sa Ilocos Norte.

Ang petition nila Fr. Christian Buenafe, Fides Lim, Ma. Edeliza Hernandez, Delia Lagman Sevilla, Roland Vibal, at Josephine Lascano ay binasura ng Second Division dahil sa kawalan ng merito.

Ang consolidated disqualification petitions na finile ni Bonifacio Ilagan, et al; Akbayan party-list et al; Abubakar Mangelen, chair of the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas; at ng Campaign Against the Return of the Marcoses and Martial Law, ay binasura ng First Division “due to lack of substantial grounds to compel the Comelec en banc to rule in favor” sa disqualification case.
