The Commission on Elections has dismissed the Motion for Reconsideration filed by Julieta Licup Pearson in relation to the disqualification case she filed against then-senatorial candidate Raffy Tulfo.According to the resolution promulgated on Feb.
The Commission en banc added that it no longer has jurisdiction over a disqualification case against Tulfo, who is now a sitting member of the Senate after having already been proclaimed as a senator on May 18, 2022, and taken his oath of office on June 22, 2022, pursuant to Article VI, Section 17 of the Constitution.
“In recent memory, the Supreme Court enunciated in Penson v. COMELEC that, ‘The use of the word ‘sole’ in Section 17, Article VI of the 1987 Constitution underscores the exclusivity of the electoral tribunal’s jurisdiction over all election contests relating to members of the House of Representatives and the Senate,” the poll body said in a statement.
It can be recalled that an earlier petition filed by Pearson seeking the cancellation of the Certificate of Candidacy of Tulfo was also dismissed in a resolution promulgated on Dec. 16, 2021.
