Guanzon dares PFP's Briones to prove her violation through debate
Comelec Commissioner Rowena Guanzon has challenged George Briones, lawyer for Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s party, to a televised debate after she disclosed her vote in a disqualification case against Marcos Jr.
Guanzon asserted that the Commission En Banc has no jurisdiction over administrative complaints against her, as she is an impeachable official.
She also warned that she might cite Marcos Jr.'s party for contempt, accusing them of threatening her while his case is still pending.
This confrontation arises after Marcos Jr.'s party called for Guanzon's disbarment and forfeiture of retirement benefits for allegedly prematurely and illegally revealing her vote, which favored disqualifying Marcos Jr.
Guanzon is set to retire from the Comelec on February 2, along with Chairperson Sheriff Abas and Commissioner Antonio Kho Jr.
