MANILA, Philippines — The lawyers of president-elect Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has asked the Supreme Court to junk the petition seeking the cancellation of his Certificate of Candidacy as they urged the tribunal to “protect” the choice of the Filipino people.

 

In a 45-page comment made public on Wednesday, Marcos, through his lawyers led by veteran litigator Estelito Mendoza, sought the dismissal of the Petition of Certiorari filed by the civic leaders, through their counsel Theodore Te.

 

The civic leaders failed to secure a favorable ruling at the Commission on Elections, prompting them to elevate their case to the SC.
