MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Elections has dismissed over 1,000 overspending cases from the 2010 and 2013 national and local elections (NLE), citing a Supreme Court ruling that found the poll body guilty of "inordinate delay" in resolving a campaign finance case. 

 

The decision dismisses 437 overspending cases stemming from the 2010 NLE and 489 cases from the 2013 NLE, which were still supposed to undergo preliminary investigation and resolution. 

 

Meanwhile, 51 overspending cases from 2010 and another 47 from 2013 that still have pending Motions for Reconsideration were also dismissed.
