All pending cases carefully studied, says poll chief
The Akbayan party-list has urged the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to promptly release its decisions on disqualification cases filed against presidential aspirant Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.
Comelec Chairman Saidamen Pangarungan assured that all petitions are being carefully studied and assured that the issue will be included in the agenda of the Comelec en banc session on March 23.
Akbayan warned that delaying the decision could disenfranchise voters by allowing an allegedly unqualified candidate to remain on the ballot.
The group stressed that the Comelec's resolution is crucial for the nation's future and the integrity of the upcoming elections.
Akbayan is among the petitioners who sought Marcos Jr.'s disqualification due to his 1995 tax conviction.
