LIST: Proclamations on hold due to disqualification cases
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) en banc has suspended the proclamation of 19 candidates, including Marikina representative-elect Marcy Teodoro, pending the resolution of electoral complaints.
Teodoro's certificate of candidacy was challenged due to alleged material misrepresentation in a petition filed by Senate Minority Leader Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III.
Based on completed returns, Teodoro garnered 75,062 votes against Pimentel's 29,091.
Teodoro, the outgoing mayor, urged the Comelec to respect the people's will and proclaim him the winner.
The proclamation suspensions are effective until further orders from the Comelec, affecting candidates for various local positions and party lists.
Additionally, Pasig lone district representative Christian "Ian" Sia faces a proclamation suspension if he wins due to alleged lewd remarks about single mothers.
