It has been decided by the Commission on Elections to disqualify presidential candidate Vetallano Acosta last thursday, trimming down the aspirants into 9.
COMELEC says that Acosta was disqualified because of lack of qualifications. "“for lack of machinery to hold a nationwide campaign” and for not being a duly accepted nominee of the Marcos-led party Kilusang Bagong Lipunan (KBL), whose vice presidential bet is former TV host Jay Sonza." says Comissioner Nicanor Ferrer. "Acosta is disqualified (for the presidential race) on the basis that he cannot conduct a nationwide campaign because as it turns out, he is not from KBL as he earlier claimed,". These statements appear on his interviews.
However , Senator Ninoy Aquino who also runs for presidency appealed to COMELEC defending Acosta saying that he is still qualified to run as president. COMELEC was still firm in their decision.
THE Commision's decisipn is declared after that ballots have been printed, in which they say that anyone can still vote for Acosta however, it will not be considered and counted.
