Lucy Torres-Gomez Removed from Congress: SC Decision

The Supreme Court has ousted Lucy Torres-Gomez as the representative of the 4th District of Leyte.

Voting 7-4-4, the high court said Torres-Gomez could not have validly substituted for her husband Richard Gomez who cannot be considered as candidate for the congressional seat during the 2010 polls.

The seven justices are Associate Justices Estela Perlas-Bernabe, Antonio Carpio, Martin Villarama, Jose Perez, Bienvenido Reyes and Marvic Leonen.

The four justices are Teresita Leonardo De Castro, Mariano Del Castillo, Roberto Abad and Jose Mendoza. On the other hand, the other four justices – Presbitero Velasco, Arturo Brion, Lucas Bersamin and Diosdado Peralta – did not participate for being members of the House of Representative Electoral Tribunal.

The high court said Richard Gomez was ineligible to run for Congress for failure to comply with the residency requirement.
“Thus, absent valid substitution, Ms. Torres-Gomez could not have been considered a candidate,” the high court said.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

as usual, the wheels of justice grinding slowly.  daghan pa gyod ug kalaki ning mga abugado ug postpone-postpone ug hearings.

suwayan nakog review ang case ni aga muhlach nganong resident man siya sa mindoro and thus he's allowed to run for congress despite the comelec's decision that he is not, if i got it right. well, those supreme court justices aren't stupid.

maayo unta ug mawala na ning uso ug mga artista sa politics nato uy.  artistahon na bitaw ang atong dyed-in-the-wool politicians, dugangan pa gyod.  let it be noted though that bol-anons made cesar montano an also-ran.
