In two weeks, the Comelec will make a judgment on the Marcos DQ cases.

In about two weeks, the First Division of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) will make a judgment on the disqualification cases filed against presidential candidate Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.

Presiding Commissioner Rowena Guanzon announced on her Twitter account, @rowena guanzon, on Saturday that a First Division resolution will be released around January 17 following the raffle on Monday.

The First Division gave petitioners Bonifacio Ilagan and Akbayan party-list, as well as Marcos, 48 hours after the preliminary session on Friday to submit their memoranda via electronic mail (e-mail).

The deadline to file will be 12 p.m. on Sunday.

The petitioners requested that the former senator be disqualified from next year’s elections due to his conviction for failing to file income tax reports from 1992 to 1995.

“We present a compelling case, and the evidence will reveal Marcos’ unfitness for public service,” Akbayan said in a statement released on Friday.

Abubakar Mangelen’s third disqualification case has also been submitted for resolution.

Mangelen claimed to be the duly-elected chair of the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas, the party that Marcos is running for president, but Marcos is not a member of the party.

Marcos is currently in isolation after coming into contact with two people who tested positive for Covid-19: his chief of staff, lawyer Vic Rodriguez, and a security escort.

His camp apologized to Comelec for his absence from the hearing, claiming that he was suffering from a fever and was having “difficulty in speaking due to a badly clogged throat.”
