Grace Poe moves for inhibition of 3 justices
At a news conference, the election commission’s chair Andres Bautista said Ms Poe has five days to secure a court order that will allow her to stay in the race. Really, when will this debacle actually end?

“Ibig sabihin lang po ay hindi na tatanggalin sa listahan (ng presidential candidates) ang pangalan ni Sen Grace Poe.Pansamantala po ay walang kaduda-duda na mailalagay po ang pangalan ni Sen Grace Poe sa election ballot”, Garcia said. Grace’s camp fires back against injustice saying sources from COMELEC have already leaked the results even before the poll body publicized the decision in order to cause confusion.
Under the constitution, a Philippine president must be a “natural born citizen – meaning a Filipino at birth, be able to read and write, be at least 40 years old and a resident of the country for 10 years before the vote”.
The issuance of any temporary restraining order or status quo ante order must be upheld by the majority of the justice when they convene anew.
It also found she had failed to satisfy a 10-year residency requirement after she returned from living in the U.S. In doing so, it upheld two earlier decisions by a commission panel.
“We are confident that the SC will honor previous jurisprudence on the rights of foundlings to a country and citizenship”.
Asked if the cases will be consolidated, Te said the high tribunal will hear the cases separately.
Ms Poe used to have a commanding lead, with double-digit advantages over Mr Binay, but persistent allegations that she is not qualified to run for president have been a drag on her polling numbers.
Poe wants Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio and Associate Justices Teresita Leonardo de Castro and Arturo Brion to inhibit.
The senator said a “fair consideration of facts” was all she was asking for now that her case has reached its “final battleground”. “We enjoin the public to keep a keen eye on the proceedings and the decision on the case”, Poe said.
Also on Monday, Gatchalian denied reports that her running mate Senator Francisco Escudero, was abandoning Poe.
“These people have launched their attacks on Senator Poe and now have launched an offensive aimed at sowing intrigue within the Poe-Escudero tandem”, he said. Grace Poe got what she badly needed on Monday, not just once, but twice.
“It’s unfortunate that a few infiltrators dispatched by the rivals of the tandem tried to join the gathering of supporters before the Supreme Court”.
