Poll official says decision on DQ cases vs BBM not being delayed
A Comelec official assured that the decision on the disqualification cases of presidential aspirant Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. is not being delayed.
Comelec Commissioner Rowena Guanzon stated that it would be wrong to say the resolution is being delayed to favor a particular party.
The decision was initially expected by January 17, but a staff member drafting the resolution had contracted COVID-19.
Guanzon, part of the Comelec First Division handling three petitions against Marcos Jr., assured the resolution will be released in time for parties to have legal recourse.
She also clarified that grounds for disqualification differ from the cancellation of a certificate of candidacy.
