SC stops Comelec order vs substitution of mayoralty bet in Santiago City, Isabela
The Supreme Court (SC) has granted a temporary restraining order (TRO) to former Isabela Representative Giorgidi Aggabao, preventing the Commission on Elections (Comelec) from enforcing its decision to disqualify him.
The Comelec had previously denied Aggabao's substitution for former Mayor Amelita Navarro as the Partido para sa Demokratikong Reporma's candidate for mayor in Santiago City, Isabela.
The SC has ordered the Comelec to comment on Aggabao's petition within 10 days and to refrain from implementing its disqualification order.
This is the latest in a series of TROs issued by the SC against Comelec decisions concerning candidates in the upcoming May elections.
