The Commission on Elections on Friday, Feb. 11, defended the decision of its First Division junking the three petitions seeking to disqualify presidential candidate Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. in the May 2022 polls.In a virtual press briefing, Comelec Spokesperson James Jimenez clarified that the poll body is not saying that failure to file an income tax return is not a punishable offense or that its okay.
“It’s wrong to say that the Comelec is saying that there is no offense in failure to file ITR because the Comelec said there is. But there was a point to be made about the difference between mala in se and mala prohibitum. That’s all it was and it’s just being taken out of context,” added Jimenez.
