Comelec suspends proclamation of several candidates
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) en banc has ordered the suspension of the proclamation of 19 candidates facing charges with the poll body.
Among those named are Pasig congressional candidate Christian De Guzman Sia and Marikina congressional bet Marcelino "Marcy" Teodoro.
Comelec chairperson George Erwin Garcia announced the suspension orders on Monday shortly after the voting period for the May midterm elections closed.
The decision to suspend proclamation does not depend on whether a candidate is winning or losing, but on the merit of the cases filed.
The charges filed against candidates by Comelec are for various offenses, including vote-buying and violating the poll body's anti-discrimination resolution.
The list of suspended candidates includes individuals vying for positions such as Governor, Vice-Governor, Representative, Mayor, Board Member, and Party-list representative.
