The Commission on Elections (Comelec) Second Division has summoned Pasig congressional candidate Christian Sia to respond within five days to a disqualification petition against him.
The petition, filed by Comelec Task Force SAFE, seeks Sia's disqualification due to remarks he made about single mothers during a campaign sortie.
Sia is directed to file a verified answer cum memorandum, and failure to do so will prevent him from submitting evidence in his defense.
The case will be considered for resolution once Sia's answer is received or the five-day period expires, whichever comes first.
The disqualification stems from a joke Sia made concerning his willingness to sleep with lonely single mothers if elected.
