THE Commission on Elections first division unanimously denied the four disqualification cases filed against presidential candidates Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte for lack of merit.
The disqualification cases were separately filed by broadcasters Ruben Castor, Rizalito David, Ely Pamatong and John Paulo Delas Nieves.
All four petitions principally questioned validity of Duterte’s substitution for Martin Diño, claiming that the latter’s certificate of candidacy (COC) for president was invalid. (Eagle News Service)
