The Commission on Elections Second Division has denied the petition seeking the cancellation of the certificate of candidacy of presidential aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
In a unanimous ruling, the Commission said that the respondent’s material representations – that he is eligible to for the position of President and that he has not been meted the penalty of perpetual disqualification from public officer – were not false. The the second division also ruled that the National Internal Revenue Code of 1994 did not apply to the case, because it would have resulted in a retroactive application since the NIRC of 1994 took effect only in 1986.
“Since Respondent was not meted the accessory penalty of perpetual disqualification from public office, it cannot be rightfully said that he committed a false material representation when he answered in the negative to the question posed in Item No. 22 of his COC. In like manner, when Respondent declared in Item No. 11 of his COC that the is eligible for the office for which he seeks to be elected to, he was essentially speaking the truth,” the decision read.
