ORIENTAL MINDORO, Philippines – The Commission on Elections reversed its previous ruling that disqualified Cagayan Governor Manuel Mamba from the 2022 local race he had won.
According to the Comelec, the petition of Mamba’s rival Zarah Lara was considered filed on May 11 at 8 am, because it was sent via email after working hours on May 10. Thus, the official filing came hours after the poll body proclaimed Mamba as winner of the gubernatorial race at 1:39 am. “To rule and resolve the issue on respondent’s disqualification based on a petition filed belatedly amounts to an outright transgression of existing law and jurisprudence which provide that the proclamation of winning candidate bars the filing of a subsequent petition for disqualification,” it added.
