BBM camp submits notarized medical certificate
A Commission on Elections (Comelec) official required Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s camp to submit a notarized medical certificate to justify his absence from a preliminary conference.
Marcos Jr.'s lawyer had initially presented a medical certificate stating he had a fever and sore throat on January 6.
This was met with skepticism as reports indicated Marcos Jr. participated in a radio program on the same day.
The poll body's matrix of petitions shows that Marcos Jr.'s camp submitted a notarized medical certificate on January 10.
The certificate also included a copy of the physician's prescription paper with their license number.
