Comelec junks petition of Tiburcio Marcos vs Bongbong
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has dismissed another petition seeking to block the presidential candidacy of Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.
The petition was filed by Tiburcio Marcos, who argued that Bongbong Marcos was an impostor impersonating a deceased person with the same name.
Tiburcio Marcos claimed that the younger Marcos deliberately misled the Comelec in his certificate of candidacy by using the name of a deceased individual.
This is the second petition to be junked against Bongbong Marcos' presidential bid, following an earlier dismissal by the Comelec on December 16.
