However, she confirmed that they already submitted the cases to the central office for review.
“Dili pa mi maka give out sa case kay ang main [office] ang mag act on it based on our evaluations,” She said.
“Baka may makita pa sila yun lang yun ang final say talaga doon [Comelec national office]. Hindi namin pwede ma divulge kung sino at anong klase kaso basta it is disqualification coming from different areas in the region ,” she added.
Moreover, the Comelec acting regional director reminded candidates to follow the rules of the Omnibus Election Code to avoid facing disqualification.
“Among pahimangno is, of course, mo follow gyud ta sa rules sa Comelec, otherwise pwede mi maka file saila ug case kung makita namo nga naa sila kalapasan sa campaign period,” she further said.
Based on the calendar of activities of the Comelec, the campaign period will start this Thursday, Oct. 19, and will run until Oct. 28.
Meanwhile, in a separate interview, Davao City Police Office director Col. Alberto Lupaz warned supporters to respect the rules and play fair to avoid putting the candidates they endorse in trouble.
