00:00Comelec's 2nd Division disqualified former congressman Edgar Erice in the upcoming 2025 elections
00:08because of his statements regarding Comelec and Miru's illicit contracts.
00:15Erice will appeal to the court that he was not involved.
00:19Sandra Aguinaldo has the floor.
00:22In Comelec's 2nd Division resolution, former congressman Edgar Erice was disqualified
00:32in running again as a member of the 2nd District of Caloocan.
00:36This was the decision of Comelec's 2nd Division in the alleged disqualification case
00:41of a man named Raymond Saliput
00:44because of violating Article 22, Section 261 of the Omnibus Election Code
00:49which prohibits confusion in the election process
00:53or causing confusion among voters by spreading wrong and alarming information.
01:01This is in line with Erice's various statements in the media,
01:04including the statement that Comelec and Miru's contract is wrong
01:09for the 2025 automated elections.
01:12Just this April, Erice filed a petition to the Supreme Court
01:17requesting the removal of Comelec-Miru's visa.
01:21He also filed a corruption complaint to Ombudsman
01:24against Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia, his brother-in-law.
01:28Comelec's 2nd Division said that Erice did not release any evidence in his statements.
01:34Erice will appeal the decision.
01:36He did not violate the provision of the Omnibus Election Code.
01:40I am not violating Section 261Z of the Omnibus Election Code
01:47because the particular provision pertains to violations and offenses
01:53committed during the voting.
01:57The commissioners are just angry with me
02:00because they are getting irritated.
02:03So the real reason why they are disqualifying me
02:08is I think this is a disqualification because of their irritation to my persistence.
02:16Erice said that he did not know the person who filed the case against him.
02:21But he mentioned that Chairman Garcia was close to his opponent in the election in Caloocan.
02:28He did not mention who it was, but he posted a picture of Garcia
02:32with incumbent Congresswoman Mitch Cajayon Uy of the 2nd District of Caloocan.
02:38She is the daughter of Chairman Garcia in-laws.
02:43She is a lawyer. When we fought, Chairman Garcia is a lawyer in the protest.
02:48Uy explained that he has nothing to do with Erice's disqualification case.
02:53During the time that he was an election lawyer,
02:56Attorney George used to be my election lawyer.
02:59So my protest against Erice was him being my lawyer.
03:05We fought in a case, but it has nothing to do with his case right now with COMELEC.
03:13Garcia also said that he has nothing to do with COMELEC's decision in the 2nd Division.
03:19He also filed an inhibition that means that he has nothing to do with Erice's case.
03:26They are connecting to me. What do I know about the division?
03:30For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, for Tutok Tutok, 24 hours.
