COMELEC Junks Disqualification Cases Against Arroyo and Estrada

The Commission on Election (COMELEC) Second Division junks the three (3) petitions to disqualify former president Joseph ‘Erap’ Estrada from running in the 2010 Presidential election. The poll body ruled to junk the 2 petitions filed by Evilio Pormento and Mary Lou Estrada for lack of merit.

“The better policy approach is to let the people decide who will be the next president. For on political questions, this Court may err but the sovereign people will not,” COMELEC’s Second Division said in a decision junking the petition filed against former president Estrada last December.
