Lucy Torres pinatalsik sa House

Doris Franche-Borja - Pilipino Star Ngayon

MANILA, Philippines - Pinatalsik ng Korte Suprema ang artistang si Lucy Torres-Gomez bilang kinatawan ng Ormoc City.

Sa botong 7-4-4 sinabi ng SC na hindi valid ang paghalili ni Torres sa asawa nitong si Richard Gomez sa nakalipas na Mayo 2010 elections.

Sina Associate Justices Estela Perlas-Ber­nabe, Antonio Carpio, Martin Villarama, Jose Perez, Bienvenido Reyes at Marvic Leonen ay bumoto pabor sa pagpapawalang bisa ng pagka-­kongresista ni Lucy  habang kumontra naman sina Teresita Leonardo de Castro, Mariano del Castillo, Roberto Abad at Jose Mendoza.

Nag-abstain naman sina Presbitero Velasco, Arturo Brion, Lucas Bersamin at Diosdado Pe­ralta dahil ang mga ito  ay miyembro ng House of Representative Electoral Tribunal-Associate Justices.

Ayon sa SC, hindi ku­walipikado si Richard Gomez na tumakbo bilang Kongresista matapos itong mabigo sa kanyang residency requirement.

“Thus, absent valid substitution, Ms. Torres-Gomez could not have been considered a candidate,” ayon sa SC.
