Petition of Tiburcio Marcos vs BBM dismissed
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) Second Division has dismissed the petition filed by Tiburcio Marcos seeking to cancel the certificate of candidacy of Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.
The Comelec provided a matrix on Tuesday, February 8, confirming the dismissal, and notices were sent to the parties on January 31.
Tiburcio's petition had claimed Marcos Jr. was an impostor and that the original Marcos Jr. died in 1975.
This dismissal is separate from other pending petitions and disqualification cases against Marcos Jr.
Previously, the Comelec also dismissed a petition by Danilo Lihaylihay to declare Marcos Jr. a nuisance candidate and another petition by Fr. Christian Buenafe et al to cancel Marcos Jr.'s COC.
