THE Commission on Elections has denied the petitions of the Provincial Governments of Cebu, Bohol and Nueva Ecija for exemption from the spending ban during the campaign period, Comelec Commissioner George Garcia said on Thursday, March 24, 2022.
Garcia said the petition of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity was also granted but since local government units serve as the implementing arm, they were required to submit individual petitions before they can spend the funds provided by the said office. He said the petition of the LGU of Surala, Cotabato and Bangsamoro Rapid Emergency Action on Disaster incidents will undergo re-hearing.
“If denied, hindi pa po tapos. Para sa mga LGUs na nadeny ang petition, maybe because only kulang mga documents, or hindi na substantiate ang petition and therefore without preempting their action, it does not mean that the Comelec eyes and ears and hearts are closed as far as your petition are concerned. Definitely, we can still have the proper course of action,” he added.Garcia said there are 25 more pending spending exemption petitions filed before the commission.
