    Edu Manzano's congressional bid in San Juan City was rejected after the Commission on Elections affirmed his disqualification case. Records showed that Manzano lost his Filipino citizenship when he served in the US Army from 1973 to 1977, and he failed to reacquire citizenship as required by law. However, one commissioner dissented, saying Manzano's past elections demonstrated his allegiance was to the Philippines. Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada called Manzano's disqualification "unfortunate."
