Comelec Comm. Ferolino, sinagot si Comm. Guanzon ukol sa Marcos DQ case
Commission on Elections Commissioner Rowena Guanzon has voted to disqualify presidential aspirant Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., citing moral turpitude.
Guanzon, who retires on February 2, urged the Comelec First Division to release the resolution on the disqualification cases before her retirement.
She previously raised concerns about the delay in the decision, suspecting external influence.
However, Comelec Commissioner Aimee Ferolino, the ponente for the Marcos case in the First Division, accused Guanzon of trying to influence her decision.
Ferolino stated in a letter that Guanzon was trying to persuade her to adopt Guanzon's opinion to disqualify Marcos Jr.
The poll veteran expressed dismay that Guanzon drafted a separate opinion before the main resolution was submitted, with all case records in Ferolino's possession.
Ferolino also claimed that Guanzon's public announcement of her decision may have opened her to pressure from various personalities and organizations.
