“… for Governor Rosal to cease and desist from his powers and functions of the governor of Albay and relinquish that post and vacate that post,” he added.
The Comelec en banc also ordered the “peaceful” turnover of the position to Albay Vice Governor Edcel Lagman Jr.Despite this, Laudiangco clarified that Rosal may still file a petition within 30 days from notice of the decision through the Supreme Court under the Rules of Court. “Pwedeng-pwede pa rin po mag-file. ‘Yun nga lang po, in the meantime na magpa-file siya, implement na po namin ang desisyon po ng Comelec,” he said.
It can be recalled Comelec has disqualified Rosal, along with his wife, Legazpi City Mayor Carmen Geraldine Rosal, for violating a provision of the Omnibus Election Code against the release of public funds during the election period.The two apparently participated in a two-day cash assistance payout for tricycle drivers and senior citizens during the 45-day campaign spending ban.
