The Comelec said the move was due to a petition filed by lawyer Moises Tolentino on February 28, which seeks to disqualify Tulfo on allegations pertaining to “question of citizenship” and “conviction by final judgment of a crime involving moral turpitude.”
MANILA, Philippines – The Commission on Elections said on Wednesday, March 1, that it has suspended the proclamation of broadcaster Erwin Tulfo as the new nominee of popular party-list group ACT-CIS, delaying the former social welfare chief’s entry to Congress.
The Comelec, in a press release, said the move was due to a petition filed by lawyer Moises Tolentino on Tuesday, February 28, which seeks to disqualify Tulfo on allegations pertaining to “question of citizenship” and “conviction by final judgment of a crime involving moral turpitude.” Rappler has yet to get a copy of the petition.
“Under Section 8 of Rule 5 of Resolution No. 9366, the proclamation of nominee may be suspended notwithstanding the fact that the group or organization received the winning number of votes in such elections, if the evidence in the petition for disqualification is strong and such remains unresolved,” said Comelec spokesman Rex Laudiangco.
Rappler previously learned that Tulfo was seeking a seat inthe House of Representatives as a replacement of a resigned ACT-CIS representative
