MANILA, Philippines — Amid rising tensions between poll commissioners on the resolution of the disqualification cases against presidential aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., Commissioner Rowena Guanzon on Monday released a copy of her separate opinion ahead of the division’s promulgation of a ruling.

 

“Respondent’s repeated and persistent failure to file his [ITRs] for 1982, 1983, 10982 and 1985 constitutes an offense involving moral turpitude,” Guanzon said in her Separate Opinion on the disqualification case against Marcos.

 

The retiring commissioner voted to grant the petitions for disqualification and declare Marcos disqualified from running for the position of the President of the Philippines.
