00:00 The Commission on Elections has now issued a request to the Solicitor General to receive their documents from Mayor Alice Guo.
00:09 Paul Buddy has called for the Omnibus Election Code to be reviewed for the heavier sentences against those who will be involved in their involvement.
00:21 Luise Erispe is in the center of the news.
00:26 The investigation of the government is now in full swing, not just in the recognition and citizenship of Mayor Alice Guo.
00:33 In fact, the Commission on Elections or COMELEC has already submitted documents to the Office of the Solicitor General or OSG for investigation.
00:43 The documents submitted by COMELEC are the documents of Guo when he was a candidate as mayor in 2022.
00:51 We received their request for SOCE, Certificate of Candidacy and registration as a voter of the mayor.
01:01 We submitted all of those because first, all of these are public documents and number two, as long as we have a request for legal purposes,
01:11 COMELEC will not refuse to give it.
01:14 But the Commission just wants to talk about it, hoping that they will not be taught why Guo was able to become a candidate in 2022.
01:22 The Commission is angry because they have no power to investigate the citizenship of the candidates.
01:29 So this is what they want now, to have a law to allow them to conduct a moto proprio investigation.
01:36 They hope that the Omnibus Election Code will be passed even after the vote in 2025, so that they will be the ones to disqualify a candidate if there is evidence of violation of their citizenship.
01:51 I hope that they will not just amend, but revise their entire omnibus.
01:56 The law on immigration is already in place, our legislature is already in Congress.
02:01 Maybe we can increase or think about the moto proprio function.
02:06 Because at the moment, the moto proprio function of COMELEC is only for the Nuey-Sans candidacies.
02:14 Despite the suspension of the Department of Interior and local government from Guo while there is an investigation, COMELEC just commented that the court will still decide if Guo was really violated or not.
