ILOCOS NORTE, Philippines — Petitioners seeking the disqualification of presidential aspirant Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. from the 2022 polls on Tuesday appealed the dismissal of the case, insisting that the survey frontrunner was convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude.

 

Two of the three petitioners whose case was dismissed by the Former First Division of the Commission on Election filed their separate motions for reconsideration, seeking the reversal of the February 10 resolution of poll body.

 

In a vote of 2-0, the Former First Division voted unanimously to dismiss the three consolidated disqualification petitions against Marcos, clearing him of the bulk of major legal challenges against his candidacy.
