THE Peñera Doctrine, which was in force during the last Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE), will be applied in the 2025 midterm polls, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) said.
THE Peñera Doctrine, which was in force during the last Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections , will be applied in the 2025 midterm polls, the Commission on Elections said.The doctrine, which involves premature campaigning, stems from the Supreme Court ruling on the Peñera v. Comelec case.In 2010, the court reversed the Comelec decision, which disqualified Sta.
Section 80 makes it 'unlawful for any person, whether or not a voter or candidate ... to engage in an election campaign or partisan political activity, except during the campaign period.'Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia said abiding by the landmark ruling would render the Comelec helpless against premature campaigning during the period covering the filing of the certificate of candidacy in October until the start of the campaign season in 2025.
