Three Disqualification Cases Against Mayor Duterte to be Merged Into One

The Commission on Election announced that all the three disqualification cases against one of the most popular presidential candidate for President, Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte will be consolidated. The poll body’s First Division has decided to merge the petitions against Mayor Duterte.

Duterte for President

The three disqualification cases filed against Mayor Duterte were made by broadcaster Ruben Castor, “nuisance” presidential candidate Rizalito David and University of the Philippines Student Council chair John Paulo de las Nieves.

According to Comelec chairman Andres Bautista the First Division will start the hearing of the consolidated case on January 12, 2015 despite the alleged opposition of Mayor Duterte’s camp to consolidate the three disqualification cases.

The Comelec explained that the three petitions were all based on similar grounds, which is that Duterte was not a bona fide candidate since the certificate of candidacy (COC) for President filed by Martin Diño, whom the feisty mayor substituted, was materially defective and, therefore, invalid.

The disqualification cases against Mayor Duterte continue to be heard by the Comelec First Division despite an earlier decision by the commission en banc approving the substitution of Duterte for Diño as the standard-bearer of the PDP-Laban party.
