Candidacy of Lucy Torres-Gomez in Jeopardy

The Commission on Elections has been asked to prohibit actress Lucy Torres-Gomez to be a substitute candidate for her husband, actor Richard Gomez, who has been disqualified in the congressional race.

In a petition filed Thursday, Buenaventura Juntilla asked the Comelec, through Commissioner Rene Sarmiento, to deny Torres’ bid as a substitute candidate for the fourth district of Leyte, saying that since Gomez has been declared a non-candidate, he could not be “validly substituted as there is no candidacy to speak of, much less, a candidate to be substituted.”

In the 9-page petition dated Thursday but made public on Friday, Juntilla cited the Supreme Court ruling in Fermin vs. Comelec, G.R. nos. 179695 and 182369, Dec. 18, 2009, stating that, “While a person who is disqualified under Section 68 is merely prohibited to continue as a candidate, the person whose certificate is cancelled or denied due course under Section 78 is not treated as a candidate at all, as if he or she never filed a CoC [certificate of candidacy].”

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.

MANILA, May 8 (PNA) - The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has allowed actress Lucy Torres-Gomez to run in the congressional race in Ormoc City.

Comelec Commissioner Lucenito Tagle said the commission was convinced by the petition filed by Gomez, which sought to replace her husband after he was disqualified for failure to meet the residency requirement.

“There are three basis for substitution – disqualification, death and permanent incapacitated. Her husband had been disqualified so she is eligible,” he said.

The decision was released before a certain Buenaventura Juntilla asked the commission to deny the substitution.
