In its petition, PDP-Laban calls the October 1 to 8 period for COCFiling 'unreasonable, unnecessary, and legally impossible.' PHVote WeDecide

The period for substitution due to withdrawal lapsed on November 15, hence the party said in its petition that it only had two days to “remedy the political vacuum” created by Dela Rosa’s withdrawal.

It cited laws prior to the passage of Republic Act No. 9369 or the amended automated election law, saying that if these laws had been applied for the 2022 elections, the earliest deadline for COC filing would have been January 9, 2022, and the latest for national positions and local positions would have been February 7 and March 24, 2022, respectively.

The laws PDP-Laban mentioned include Batas Pambansa Blg. 881, and RA 7166, which would have allowed aspirants to file their COCs until the day before the start of the campaign period. It also cited RA 8436, which imposed the COC filing deadline not later than 120 days before the elections. The start of the 2022 campaign period is on February 8 for national candidates and March 25 for local candidates.Loreben Tuquero is a researcher-writer for Rappler.
