BREAKING: Comelec’s First Division dismisses the remaining disqualification case against Bongbong Marcos’ presidential bid filed by the group Pudno nga Ilokano. | @meltlopez

Elections stories: bit.ly/3rzk9AA Image
@meltlopez The case is pending since December and was initially assigned to the former Second Division.

It now appears that the case has been reassigned to the new First Division composed of Comms. Inting, Ferolino, and Neri #TheFilipinoVotes | @meltlopez

The Comelec division says otherwise. | @meltlopez Image
