SC asked to stop Comelec suspension order
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has defended its decision to suspend the proclamation of Isabela's vice mayor-elect, Jeryll Harold Paz Respicio.
Respicio, who won the vice mayoral race in Reina Mercedes, Isabela, filed a petition with the Supreme Court seeking to nullify the Comelec's suspension order and compel his proclamation.
He argued that the suspension was arbitrary and lacked legal or constitutional basis, asserting his decisive victory in the elections.
The Comelec suspended Respicio's proclamation due to a disqualification case initiated by the poll body itself.
This case is based on allegations that Respicio posted videos on Facebook claiming he could manipulate election results using a "backroom program" to alter vote counts.
