Grace Poe disqualified to run in 2016 Presidential Elections in the Philippines!
The Commission on
Elections (Comelec) 1st division has already disqualified the
Certificate of Candidacy (COC) of presidential aspirant, Senator Grace Poe.
The Comelec voted for
2-1 in favor of Poe’s cancellation of COC.
Two Comelec
Commissioners, Luie Guia and Rowena Guanzon opted to vote for the
disqualification while Christian Lim is the sole voter against the
disqualification.
The 3-member division of Comelec ruled majority
for the petitions filed by University of the East College of Law Dean Amado
Valdez, former Senator Francisco Tatad and De La Salle University Professor
Antonio Contreras.
According to Poe’s lawyer, Atty. George Garcia,
they will still fight and file a motion for reconsideration next week.
