“Very strange and contradictory that the Comelec Second Division opted to deny our petition yet agreed that the ‘representations’ made in Item 11 of Box 22 of the certificate of candidacy (COC) of Marcos Jr. are ‘material.’”

MANILA – Very strange and contradictory.
This is the reaction of Fides Lim, one of the petitioners seeking for the cancellation of Ferdinand Marcos Jr’s certificate of candidacy after the Commission on Elections’ (Comelec) 2nd Division denied their petition on Jan. 17, Monday, due to lack of merit.
“Very strange and contradictory that the Comelec Second Division opted to deny our petition yet agreed that the ‘representations’ made in Item 11 of Box 22 of the certificate of candidacy (COC) of Marcos Jr. are ‘material,’” said Lim, spokesperson of Kapatid, a support group of friends and families of political prisoners, in a statement.
