The parties in the case against presidential candidate Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. don’t have to go to the preliminary hearing, a Commission on Elections (Comelec) spokesman said on Tuesday, per the AP.

“This is not going to be a scene from John Grisham’s book. People who work for the law won’t be talking. This will not be law in LA. This will be a simple process “In a virtual meeting, he said that. The fireworks that some people might have been expecting aren’t here, though. Let’s just keep expectations in check in that way.

Jimenez said that during the preliminary conference, only lawyers for the petitioners and the respondent will be able to talk about their work for them.

Also, he said that the proceedings will give the parties a chance to figure out what they think should be done in the case.

People who will be at Friday’s meeting will be limited because the number of people who have coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) in Metro Manila has risen so much that it’s now at Alert Level 3.

When the First Division is holding a preliminary meeting at a building in Intramuros, Manila, only a few people will be there, he said. He didn’t say if anyone from the media would be there.

“We’re not going to do it in person because a lot of people are getting sick. I think it’s better for everyone “Jimenez said that.

He said that the meeting on the Akbayan Party vs. Marcos case will be streamed live on Comelec’s Facebook page so that the public can see it.

Rowena Guanzon, the head of the First Division of the Commission on Elections, will be in charge of the preliminary hearing of the petition to disqualify Marcos from running in the May 2022 elections.
