SC stops Comelec from cancelling Poe COC
MANILA, Philippines (5th UPDATE) – The Supreme Court (SC) on Monday, December 28, temporarily stopped the Commission on Elections (Comelec) from cancelling Senator Grace Poe’s certificate of candidacy (COC) for president.
This comes hours after Poe filed petitions before the SC to stop the Comelec from barring her presidential bid.
In a news briefing on Monday, SC spokesman Theodore Te said the SC issued two temporary restraining orders (TROs) favoring Poe’s request. Te said the SC acted through Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno as the high court was in recess.
