Bongbong camp lauds Comelec for disqualifying two other Marcoses running for president
The camp of Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. praised the Commission on Elections (Comelec) for disqualifying Tiburcio Marcos and Maria Aurora Marcos as nuisance candidates in the 2022 elections.
Marcos' spokesperson, Vic Rodriguez, stated that this decision upholds democracy and prevents the electoral process from being ridiculed.
Rodriguez commended the Comelec for recognizing and thwarting attempts by certain political groups to undermine elections through "gutter politics."
Previously, a Comelec division dismissed a petition aimed at declaring Bongbong Marcos himself as a nuisance candidate.
