Comelec en banc kinatigan pagbasura sa 4 kaso vs kandidatura ni Marcos
MANILA, Philippines (Updated 2:41 p.m.) — In-affirm ng Comelec on Elections (Comelec) en banc ang nauna nitong desisyong ibasura ang tatlong disqualification cases at isang kaso para ikansela ang COC ni 2022 presidential frontrunner Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. — bagay na pwede pang iapela hanggang Korte Suprema.
Matatandaang una nang ibinasura ng Comelec divisions ang mga nabanggit na disqualification at COC cancellation cases na humahamon sa kandidatura ni Marcos.

Ang DQ cases ay tumutukoy sa mga reklamo nina Bonifacio Ilagan, Akbayan party-list at Abubakar M. Mangelen. Ang petisyon naman para ikansela ang certificate of candidacy ni Marcos ay tumutukoy naman sa inihain nina Fr. Christian Buenafe.
"A careful review of the Motions for Reconsideration reveals that they failed to raise new matters that would warrant the reversal of the Assailed Resolution," wika ng Comelec en banc pagdating sa DQ complaint.
"Stripped of non-essentials, the instant Motions for Reconsideration merely contain rehash of Petitioners' assertions and arguments befopre the Commission (Former Division).
Sa consolidated disqualification petition, inireklamo ang conviction ni Marcos dahil sa kabiguan niyang maghain ng Income Tax Returns ng apat na taon.
Kaugnay nito, iginigiit nilang "perpetually disqualified" si Marcos sa paghawak ng public office. Bukod pa riyan, idinidiin din nilang gumawa siya ng krimeng pasok sa "moral turpitude" atbp.
Pwede pang iakyat sa Supreme Court
Sa isang press briefing, Martes, inilinaw ni Genesis Gatdula, na meron pang magagawa ang mga naturang kampo na nais humarang sa pagkaluklok ng isa pang Marcos sa Palasyo.
"The parties... because the cases were already dismissed by the commission en banc, may file a petition for certioari before the Supreme Court within 30 days from today," ani Gatdula kanina.
"That is 30 days for the Rules of Court. But within five days from the reciept of the decision, then the decision of the Commission on en banc, if there is no temporary restraining order or orders for these resolutions, then these cases shall be deemed final and executory on the Commission on Election level."
Salandanan case pending pa rin
Bukod pa sa mga nabanggit sa itaas, nakabinbin pa rin ang motion for reconsideration para sa disqualification case na inihain ng kampo nina Margarita Salonga Salandanan, atbp. laban kay Bongbong.
Una na itong dinismiss ng First Division ng Comelec dahil sa "lack of merit."
"This was filed on April 25 and the same has been elevated to the commission en banc on April 30th. And the same is pending resolution by the commission en banc," dagdag pa ni Gatdula.
Oras na iangat ang nabanggit sa Korte Suprema, dedesisyunan din ito. Ngunit kapag nag-assume na ng office si Marcos, ililipat na ang kaso sa kamay ng Presidential Electoral Tribunal.
