The Commission on Elections called on Congress to pass a law that would allow the poll body to refuse the certificates of candidacy of certain candidates if they fail to submit the required documents such as a birth certificate.
The poll chief said that Guo may be charged with perjury if she is proven to have misrepresented herself as a Filipino citizen when she filed her candidacy.Meanwhile, the Comelec is already thinking of making improvements in the laws in preparation for future elections. “The Comelec’s role was only “ministerial,” with aspiring candidates only required to submit accomplished COCs under current laws and jurisprudence.
Assistant Majority Leaders Jil Bongalon and Francisco Paolo Ortega V made the call as the Inter-Agency Committee on Foreign Students met to discuss the influx of Chinese nationals studying in the Philippines. “I would just like to urge this newly-formed interagency to look into the issue because that is really their job,” Ortega said.
