Comelec execs trade barbs over Marcos Jr. disqualification cases

Commission on Elections (Comelec) Commissioner Rowena Guanzon has challenged Commissioner Aimee Ferolino to resign together, questioning the integrity of the Comelec.

Guanzon urged Ferolino, the assigned ponente, to promulgate the resolution of the disqualification cases against presidential aspirant Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. before Guanzon's retirement on February 2.

Ferolino appealed to Guanzon to stop conditioning the public's mind that there is a delay in the resolution of the Marcos cases, stating there is none.

Ferolino stressed that reviewing the case records is taking time to avoid a flawed resolution, unlike Guanzon's "erroneous" memorandum.

Guanzon previously stated that the evidence in the cases is manageable and that Ferolino could decide quickly, refuting claims of complexity.

Ferolino countered that it took over a month for the Second Division to promulgate a resolution in another Marcos case after its preliminary conference.
