The poll body issued the certificate of finality on Friday, January 3, after it had not received any restraining order from the Supreme Court. The en banc asserted that Erice violated Section 261 of the Omnibus Election Code, which bars the candidacies of people who spew lies about the elections. Erice also insisted that he only made statements that were critical of the Comelec in line with his civic duty to point out lapses on the part of government officials, but the poll body said his remarks “transgressed the bounds of criticisms permitted by law.”
