MANILA, Philippines — The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued temporary restraining orders (TROs) stopping the Commission on Elections (Comelec) from enforcing its rulings to disqualify or reject the filing of certificates of candidacy (COCs) of five individuals seeking to run for different positions in the upcoming national and local elections.
During its first en banc session for the year, the high tribunal granted TROs prohibiting the Comelec from declaring Subair Guinthum Mustapha and Charles Savellano as nuisance candidates in their bid to run for the Senate and as Ilocos Sur 1st District representative, respectively.
