MANILA, Philippines The Commission on Elections (Comelec) on Thursday disqualified Laguna governor Emilio Ramon ER Ejercito for overspending in the 2013 elections.
Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr., in a statement, said the poll bodys 1st Division resolved to disqualify the incumbent governor for campaign overspending.
However, Ejercito may still file a Motion for Reconsideration within the next five days.
