From Inquirer - Possible DQ case vs Duterte
From Rappler - RD possible disqualification
Davao City Mayor Presidential Aspirant Rodrigo Duterte faces possible disqualification says Lawyer Romeo Makalintal. And as per petition of certain Ruben Castor who said RD candidacy should not be given due course as a substitute for Martin Dino who had an erroneous COC. Martin Dino filed candidacy for Pasay City Mayor not for President.
However, former Comelec Chair Brilliantes that substitution under the Omnibus Election Code is allowed (but does he know the erroneous COC of Dino. Legally, if Dino did not file for Presidency, RD is not substituting for anyone. But on the other hand the camp said that if that is the case, RD filed before Dec 10, 2015 thus beating the deadline.
Only the Comelec en banc can decide on Dec 16, 2015 the validity of RD candidacy. And RD will not feel bad if that is the case, although the left and the right and the Muslims will will feel bad.
RD was ahead in the survey which a business man from Davao paid for. Binay and Poe were second and the administration candidate was third.
