Albay Gov. Noel E. Rosal has asked the Supreme Court to stop the Commission on Elections from implementing a resolution that disqualified him from the top provincial post.
In a decision handed down by the Comelec’s first division last Sept. 19, Rosal was found to have violated Section 261 of the Omnibus Election Code on the 45-day spending ban in the May 9, 2022 elections. Rosal’s appeal before the Comelec en banc was denied last Nov. 18. He then filed a petition with the SC which was denominated as GR No. 264125.In a press statement, Rosal’s camp alleged that the Comelec deprived the governor of his “constitutional right to due process” after the poll body denied his motion to reset “hearing on the preliminary conference despite justifiable grounds.”
It said that Rosal asked the SC to determine a possible “grave abuse of discretion” on the part of the Comelec when the it issued the challenged decision and resolution.
