UPDATES and DECISIONS: Petitions vs Bongbong Marcos – 2022 PH elections

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Former senator and deposed dictator’s son Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. is at the forefront of one of the most legally contested presidential bids in Philippine history, with over half a dozen cases filed against his candidacy for the May 9 elections.

Arguments for his disqualification revolve around his tax conviction in the 1990s, but the Marcos camp has called these cases “nuisance” and “mere propaganda.”

Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) general counsel George Briones came out swining against elections commissioner Rowena Guanzon on Friday, January 28, calling the commissioner “yellow” and a “narcissist” for publicizing her separate opinion ahead of the decision.

Briones said it was an illegal leak that should be a cause for Guanzon’s disbarment.

Marcos’ spokesperson Vic Rodriguez, who’s also the executive vice president of PFP, said “We will wait for the decision to come out and until then any statement made are all speculative.”
