Comelec says resolution on BBM cases out before end of April
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) en banc is expected to release its ruling on the disqualification cases against presidential aspirant Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. by the end of April.
Comelec Commissioner George Garcia stated that the motions for reconsideration filed by petitioners are being prioritized, with a decision anticipated between the second and third weeks of April.
Previously, the Comelec First and Second Divisions dismissed six cases against Marcos due to a lack of merit.
The petitioners subsequently filed their motions for reconsideration with the Comelec en banc.
In a separate matter, Senator Panfilo "Ping" Lacson will not be considered an independent candidate despite resigning from Partido Reporma.
