‘Ponencia resolution hostage’: Ex-Comelec Comm. Guanzon says Ferolino deprived her, Comm. Casquejo right to vote on Marcos DQ cases
Former Comelec Commissioner Rowena Guanzon accused Commissioner Aimee Ferolino of holding the ponencia resolution hostage, thereby depriving Guanzon and Commissioner Marlon Casquejo of their right to vote on the disqualification cases against Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.
Guanzon, who retired on February 2, 2022, stated that her vote and separate opinion will not be part of the official Comelec record because the resolution had not yet been written by the ponente, Ferolino.
Although her vote will not be official, Guanzon released her separate opinion on January 31, 2022, and voted to disqualify Marcos Jr. based on his 1995 tax evasion conviction.
Ferolino had previously insisted there was no delay and attributed any delay to case load, while Guanzon believed a senator was influencing Ferolino to delay the resolution.
The First Division was originally supposed to rule on the case on January 17.
