A petition to cancel the certificate of candidacy of presumptive president Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. in Eleksyon 2022 has reached the Supreme Court, asking for an issuance of a temporary restraining order to block the counting of votes cast for him and his proclamation should he win.
“We see no reason for the Comelec to further delay the resolution of this case, especially that the membership of its en banc is now complete. Any further delay is already a gross disservice to the voting public and our electoral system and favors Marcos Jr.’s grand fakery,” Akbayan said.
A motion for partial reconsideration was filed before the Commission on Elections on Monday to seek the reversal of the Second Division's ruling on the petition to cancel the certificate of candidacy of presidential aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
