THE SUPREME court issued a status quo order that
would set aside temporarily the Commission on Elections (Comelec) ruling disqualifying businessman Eddie Gil from the presidential race, a court spokesman said Wednesday.
"He can campaign again," lawyer Ismael Khan told INQ7.net.
In an en banc resolution, the court also ordered the Comelec to respond to Gil's motion for reconsideration within five days.
Khan said a final decision on whether Gil would be disqualified would be out in two weeks.
"There's a sense of urgency," he said.
Of the five presidential candidates, Gil placed last consistently in pre-election surveys.
The Comelec en banc ruled in early April that Gil was a "nuisance candidate" and was therefore not qualified to run for president.
It upheld a ruling of its second division in March and denied Gil's motion for reconsideration.
The decision was signed by the seven commissioners, but one of their colleagues, Virgilio Garcillano, did not participate in the deliberations.
The case against Gil was filed by supporters of presidential candidate evangelist Eddie Villanueva who feared that if Gil was allowed to run, votes for him might be declared "stray votes'' and not counted in his favor.
iba talaga kapag kontrolado mo ang mga sangay ng pamahalaan, napaglalaruan ang mga tao. plus a little mind conditioning that you're now leading the surveys, so people will have less doubt that you've cheated the elections.
guys, sino ba tong si Eddie Gil? and how does he have this "$20 billion"??
must be a great keeper of secrets for Forbes and Fortune magazine to never have heard of him - that much in assets should put him on the 10 richest people list for sure (i think Paul Allen has about $20 billion in assets, and Michael Dell has $13bn)
Eddie Gil gives us a Clear Reflection of what kind our Government & Politicians are. Laging pa pogi kahit kalbo, and will always promise something na hindi naman nagagawa! Remeber when GLO told us that she holds the Solution for the Economy of the Phils? SO/? we're $4billion more on debt now? i think... and Mike's very happy* indeed... :-)
