MANILA, Philippines - The party-list group Akbayan prodded the Commission on Elections (Comelec) yesterday to disqualify presidential son Pampanga Rep. Juan Miguel “Mikey” Arroyo as a party-list nominee.
In a statement, Akbayan said the Comelec should enforce its Resolution 8807 containing its rules on the disqualification of party-list nominees by disqualifying Arroyo.
The group said Mikey failed to comply with the resolution, which requires a nominee to submit proof that he truly adheres to the advocacies of the organization he seeks to represent.
Under the resolution, such proof can include “prior declarations, speeches, written articles, and such other positive actions on the part of the nominee showing his or her adherence to the advocacies” of his or her party-list group.
