Duterte Youth demands proclamation
The Duterte Youth partylist is criticizing the Commission on Elections (Comelec) for allegedly delaying their proclamation.
Duterte Youth Chairman Ronald Cardema accused Comelec of unequal treatment, stating that other partylists with more serious pending cases, including accusations of links to the New People's Army, have already been proclaimed.
He questioned why their group's case is being prioritized over cases involving more severe allegations.
The complaints against Duterte Youth include a 2019 petition questioning Cardema's eligibility due to his age, which exceeds the 30-year-old limit for youth sector representatives.
More recent accusations involve Cardema branding critics as terrorists, violating election rules.
