Comelec expects ruling on PDP-Laban row in November
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is eyeing a November decision to determine the legitimate faction of the PDP-Laban party.
Comelec Chairman Sheriff Abas stated that the poll body expects both the Alfonso Cusi-led and Manny Pacquiao-led factions to file their certificates of candidacies.
Abas clarified that until a decision is made, the Comelec cannot definitively identify the legitimate PDP-Laban faction.
The Comelec will conduct clarificatory hearings before submitting the petitions to the en banc for voting.
Earlier, the Cusi-led faction filed a petition with the Comelec to declare Pacquiao and Senator Aquilino Pimentel III as illegal representatives of the party.
