Comelec on Thursday has issued a certificate of finality on its January decision declaring the faction of Partido ng Demokratikong Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) chaired by former President Rodrigo Duterte as the true and official PDP-Laban party.
The poll body was referring to the Comelec en banc resolution favoring the Duterte faction in connection with their petition against the PDP-Laban wing led by Senator Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III and former Senator Emmanuel Pacquiao as to which is the legitimate PDP-Laban party.
“Whereas, no restraining order has been issued by the Supreme Court within 30 days from receipt of the parties of the Resolution that would preclude the 27 January 2023 Resolution of this Commission from being final and executory. Now therefore, in view of the foregoing, the Resolution of the Commission issued on 27 January 2023 is hereby declared final and executory under the Comelec Rules of Procedure,” the certificate of finality read.
The Comelec Special Second Division said that PDP-Laban Chairman Duterte's chairmanship “is an undisputed and well-settled fact in the aforementioned dates." But despite the issuance of the certificate of finality, there's still hope for Pimentel as he already took the battle to the Supreme Court which has yet to resolve his appeal.
