A group of residents from the so-called “Solid North” filed Tuesday a disqualification case against presidential aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
In filing the petition before the Commission on Elections , the group Pudno Nga Ilocano cited the tax evasion conviction against Marcos for his failure to file his income tax returns and pay the corresponding deficiency taxes from 1982 to 1985.
“Hence, under Section 12 of the OEC , Respondent is disqualified to run for President for having been sentenced by final judgment for a crime which carries with it a penalty of more than eighteen months and also for having been convicted for a crime involving ‘moral turpitude’,” the petition added.
