'In the instant case, not only has respondent Marcos, Jr been convicted of a crime by final judgment which carries the penalty of perpetual disqualification, his repeated violation of the NIRC and his continued evasion/non-payment of taxes renders his conviction as one involving moral turpitude,' it said.It further said that Marcos did not only make false representation in his CoC but also committed perjury, which is also a crime involving moral turpitude.
