Comelec spox says "no clear case" for disqualification bid against
Bongbong
According to Jimenez, Bongbong does not fit the criteria, and that there is no
clear basis for the disqualification case.
“He doesn’t meet this criteria. Right now there is no clear case for
disqualification," Jimenez said in an interview with the media.
Several groups and personalities with known ties to the Liberal Party (LP) on
Tuesday submitted a petition with the poll body seeking to cancel or deny
the Certificate of Candidacy (COC) of the former senator over supposed
"false material representation" stemming from a 1995 tax case.
In response, Marcos' Chief of Staff Atty. Vic Rodriguez issued a statement that
read, " We shall address this predictable nuisance Petition at the proper time
and forum – after we receive the OFFICIAL copy of the same."
"Until then, we will refrain from commenting on their propaganda. Our camp
does NOT engage in gutter politics. Our campaign is about nation-building.
For Presidential aspirant Bongbong Marcos, this election is about the future of
the Filipino people," Rodriguez added.
