STAND TO DISQUALIFICATION CASE OF BONGBONG MARCOS

I disagree to disqualification for the presidential of running President BongBong Marcos

Jr. this year. Although there are many protestant selected Marcos as a honest leader that will lead

the country and make this a high civilization.

According to De Leon (2022) from 2022 PH Presidential race, COMELEC consolidates 3

reasons of disqualification cases against Marcos. Ilagan et al vs. Marcos that filed by martial law

survivors under SPA 21-194, Akbayan et al vs. Marcos that filed by party-list group Akbayan and

other civic leaders under SPA 21-232, and last is about the Mangelen vs. Marcos filed by a

faction of Partido Federal ng Pilipinas under SPA 21-233. The Ilagan and Akbayan petitions are

both cited to the tax conviction of Marcos in the late 1990s, which leads to Marcos’

disqualification under the law of the Philippines for running as 2022 president. Also to

Mangelen’s petitions is also about the claiming of “duly elected chairman of the PFP of Abubakar

Mangelen to nullify Marcos’ certificate of nomination and acceptance also known as the CONA

because of having no consent from PFP that supposed to have issued first.

This statement will let us know the reason why Marcos wasn’t at the COMELEC hearing

last January 7, 2022. The lawyer explained that he was obliged to go to in isolation because of his

condition and it was the time the COMELEC wants him to appear in a video conference. Starting

the previous day, he was already feeling unwell but opted to proceed to the scheduled interview.

The reason why BongBong Marcos Jr. wasn’t there at the interview of Jessica Soho is

because he was not afraid but the questions that will ask to him is all about the hidden treasures of

the Marcos’ family and also the petitions for his disqualification.

From the statement of Mangelen to Marcos who was telling everyone that he is not

eligible to run because he was convicted of a crime, he cite of the Sec.12 of Omnibus Election
Code, and cited the ruling of Regional Trial Court of Quezon City for violating Sections 45 and

50 of the National Internal Revenue Code of 1977, amended from July 27, 1995. Also, way back

of the Thursday of the event, the Second Division of the COMELEC ordered the petitioners and

the respondents to cancel the Certificate of Candidacy (COC) to comment on the motion for

intervention filed by Reynaldo Tamayo Jr. and the PFP last month.

For me, there must not have any disqualification against the Certificate of Candidacy

(COC) against BongBong Marcos Jr. it is not just because he fails to answer certain questions or

avoid them. He certainly proves that there was no wrong of choosing himself for the candidacy.

Until now, the decision still pending with regards to the candidacy of Marcos because of the tax-

related from the petitions of Akbayan and Mangelen to first division in the Comelec, but for me

there must not have any disqualification to Marcos.
