Comelec files disqualification raps vs over 20 bets

Updated Wed, May 7, 2025 at 6:12 PM Published Tue, May 6, 2025 at 11:33 AM

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) Task Force Baklas has filed disqualification petitions against more than 20 candidates for the 2025 National and Local Elections.

Among those facing disqualification is senatorial candidate Eric Morales Martinez.

The petitions were filed by Atty. Frances Arabe, head of Task Force Baklas, on Tuesday before the Clerk of the Commission.

The candidates are being cited for their failure to remove illegal campaign materials despite repeated notices.

The poll body had previously issued warnings and notices, giving candidates a three-day window to take down campaign materials placed outside of designated areas.

Non-compliance with these directives could lead to election offense cases, potentially resulting in disqualification.
