NEWS UPDATE. Asked for a confirmation as to whether Comelec has granted the Marcos camp's request for an extension of time to file answer to the first petition to cancel Marcos' COC, spokesman James Jimenez tells Rappler, "Pending pa." #PHVote#WeDecide | via @newsdwight
@newsdwight CONTEXT: Marcos' spokesman Vic Rodriguez told CNN Philippines this morning that the Comelec approved the Marcos camp's motion to extend its non-extendible deadline for his client. | via @newsdwight
@newsdwight "Motion is still pending with the second division, but it has not come out yet," Comelec spokesman James Jimenez reiterates in a press briefing. | via @newsdwight
@newsdwight Jimenez also confirms there is another nuisance petition filed against Ferdinand Marcos Jr (Lihaylihay vs Marcos). | via @newsdwight
@newsdwight Comelec's Jimenez says poll body has no proof that Duterte, Go took oath under PDDS. But since they submitted CONA, it is assumed that they are PDDS members and are deemed resigned from PDP-Laban. #PHVote#WeDecide | via @newsdwight
@newsdwight "Sabi sila nang sabi, wala naman silang karapatang magsabi."
Comelec spokesman James Jimenez hits Marcos camp for releasing statement that poll body has granted motion to extend time to file answer to the COC cancellation petition filed vs BBM. #PHVote | via @newsdwight
@newsdwight Jimenez says he doesn't know if the 2nd Division has voted yet on the motion for extension, but what is clear is there's no resolution just yet. The question here would be the basis of Atty Vic Rodriguez to say the motion has been granted. #PHVote#WeDecide | via @lianbuan
@newsdwight@lianbuan Jimenez: If the Marcos camp has sources in the 2nd division, I wouldn't know. But my source is a commissioner, direct word from the commissioner, that the motion has not been resolved. Up to you who you want to believe. #PHVote#WeDecide | via @lianbuan
@newsdwight@lianbuan Does Comelec have contempt powers and was Rodriguez' statement a basis for contempt?
@newsdwight@lianbuan Timeline:
Nov 11 - Marcos gets notice to answer in 5 days
Nov 15 - Marcos submits motion to extend
Nov 16 - Deadline lapses
Nov 18 - 2 days past deadline, no decision yet
Isn't right to reply waived? Jimenez: You can make that argument, but the fact is, there's no ruling yet.

The ‘tsinelas’ action pays tribute to over 30,000 Filipinos who were killed in Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs as well as his administration’s crackdown on activists and community leaders.
The movement calls on US legislators to pass the Philippine Human Rights Act, which seeks to suspend the provision of security assistance to the Philippines until its government makes certain reforms to its military and police forces.
