Jimenez on Ka Leody’s proclamation rally: ‘His actions were not ideal’
Presidential aspirant Leody de Guzman's campaign team acknowledged a failure to check new Commission on Elections (Comelec) requirements, leading to issues with their proclamation rally permit.
The campaign team initially secured a permit from the Quezon City government for the Amoranto Sports Complex but decided to change the venue to Bantayog ng mga Bayani.
Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez confirmed that the tandem had not secured a permit for their event.
Jimenez stated that Ka Leody's actions "were not ideal" and that the rules are in place for the security of rally-goers and campaigns.
He also mentioned that he will reach out to De Guzman to discuss the matter and ensure future compliance.
De Guzman's campaign manager, Sonny Melencio, said they rushed to file a permit and are ready to face consequences for the rally.
