Joselito Cayetano disqualified and other news
Not much need to say anything beyond that. However, just to provide a bit more detail:
- Joselito Cayetano was disqualified as a nuisance candidate by the COMELEC 1st Division.
- Joselito Cayetano was called a nuisance candidate because it is clear that he does not have any capacity to conduct a nationwide campaign. The 1st Division took into consideration Joselito Cayetano’s financial circumstances and the fact that he was relying almost exclusively on KBL – the political party which allegedly nominated him, but whose top leadership has recently ‘disowned’ him.
- Joselito Cayetano may still appeal the ruling of the Division, thus the disqualification still is not final.
- In the meantime, considering that the disqualification may still be overturned on reconsideration, Mr. Joselito Cayetano’s name will remain on the Certified List of Candidates for Senators (for the 2007 National and Local Elections).
