“Marcos is not eligible to run for any public office as he is, plainly, a convicted criminal. Marcos was convicted by the Regional Trial Court of Quezon City in a July 27 1995 Decision for his multiple failures to file income tax returns,” the petitioners added.
They noted that the Court of Appeals upheld Marcos’ conviction and no longer appealed to the Supreme Court, thereby becoming a final and unappealable conviction.National Internal Revenue Code , Marcos is perpetually disqualified from holding any public office, to vote and to participate in any election as mandated under the NIRC,” they stressed.
Further, the petitioners also said that “the crimes for which Marcos was convicted by [the] final [judgment] are also crimes involving moral turpitude that disqualifies Marcos from being a candidate for any office under Section 12 of the Omnibus Election Code.” The petition noted that the crime involves moral turpitude since, among others, Marcos and his family refuse to pay to the Filipino people roughly P203.8 billion in estate taxes, inclusive of interests, surcharge, and other penalties.
As of this posting, INQUIRER.net is still seeking comment from Marcos’ camp through his chief of staff Atty. Victor Rodriguez but has yet to receive a response.
I just hope that the COMELEC won't be lenient to allow him to run just bcos he's a Marcos.He's already convicted so he should not run.
Then why was he allowed to file ? Why allow candidate with pending criminal cases be filed ? This right here is the reason why onlyinthephilippine really NEED a competent leaders running the comelec as this is an ELECTION not a CIRCUS show.
Mas masama ang mangyayari para sa dilawan kapag pinakinggan ng comelec ang petisyon. Dahil magboboycott ang milyong milyong botante ni BBM na magiging resulta ng Failure of election, kaya si DU30 pa rin ang magiging pangulo.
Panalo na si BBM sa 2022. ✌️
Include also jinggoy Estrada
Perhaps time for Marcos jr to examine his position and ambition in the midst of all these questionable issues.
Naku matutuwa si inday na di honest, tuloy na substitution nya kay bato.
Correct..
Ang dami na naming bobo sa Pilipinas ang lamang ko lang is hindi ako Marcos loyalist. 🕊🕊🕊
Panget niyo talaga mga Dilawan.
hahahhahahaa go BBM
