Newly-appointed poll commissioner George Garcia on Thursday said he notified the Comelec that he formally inhibits from election cases he previously handled.
In an interview posted by GMA News’ Tina Panganiban-Perez on Twitter, Garcia said he already withdrew from the election cases that he handled prior to his appointment to Comelec.“Likewise, I wrote a letter, naka-address sa ating Clerk of Court na sinasabi lahat ng mga kasong ito, in-enumerate ko lahat ng mga cases na hindi ako magpa-participate,” Garcia said.
“I will inhibit, I will not take any action on these cases,” he added. “Just to show na wala po akong vested interest dito .” Comelec Comm George Garcia has written the clerk of the Comelec to say he won’t take part in deliberations of all Marcos cases in the Comelec. Presdl candidate Bongbong Marcos is his former client. Garcia will also inhibit from all his cases at the Comelec.
