00:00 The Commission on Elections or Comelec is purging its list of candidates for the Barangay
00:04 in Sangguniang Kapataan Elections or BSKE.
00:07 Currently, the poll body holds around 65 petitions for disqualification and withdrawal of candidates.
00:14 Comelec wants to weed out the illegitimate voters and candidates from its list well before
00:20 the much-anticipated political exercise.
00:23 As of yesterday, in our meeting with the clerk of the commission, there are more than 65
00:31 petitions to cancel COC, denied due course and disqualification.
00:36 It is still increasing.
00:38 Why?
00:39 Because those who filed on Monday, there are five days left after filing the COC to file
00:47 the aforementioned cases.
00:48 The rule is, from the day of the filing of COC, you have five days to fill the petition.
