The Commission on Elections (Comelec) second division has disqualified Manuel Mamba from the 2022 gubernatorial race, which he had won, for violating the election spending ban.
"WHEREFORE, premises considered, the Petition is GRANTED. Respondent MANUEL N. MAMBA is DISQUALIFIED as a candidate for the position of Governor of the Province of Cagayan in the 09 May 2022 National and Local Elections," the dispositive portion of the Comelec second division resolution read.
Further, the petitioner alleged that Mamba disbursed an amount of P550 million from the provincial government and distributed the same to all registered voters under the program "Krusada Kontra Korapsyon ." Lara argued that these are all "blatant" violations of Section 68, paragraph 1 of the Omnibus Election Code which states that: "Any candidate who, in an action or protest in which he is a party is declared by final decision of a competent court guilty, or found by the Commission of having given money or other material consideration to influence, induce or corrupt the voters or public officials performing electoral functions...
Under Section 2 of Comelec Resolution 10747, no public official or employees, including barangay officials and those-government-owned or controlled corporations and their subsidiaries shall release, disburse or expend any public funds from March 25,2022 until May 08,2022.
