The Supreme Court has upheld the 2019 plebiscite that included Cotabato City in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. /PDI
high court ruled that the Commission on Elections complied with the requirements of the Bangsamoro Organic Law in conducting a plebiscite. The decision emphasized the constitutional mandate of the Comelec to guarantee the proper exercise of the right of suffrage “which the Supreme Court will not interfere with if there is no grave abuse of discretion.
” The tribunal’s decision stemmed from the petition for certiorari, prohibition and mandamus, with application for a temporary restraining order and/or writ of preliminary injunction filed by Amil Sula, Gaspar Asi and Hussein Malik Sr. on Feb. 28, 2019, against the Comelec, in its official capacity as the National Plebiscite Board of Canvassers.
