The disqualification case against incoming Cebu Gov. Pamela Baricuatro is likely to fail, according to veteran lawyer Ferdinand Topacio. Topacio outlined three key reasons why the case is unlikely to succeed. He criticized the filing of the case as political harassment and erroneous from the beginning.
Topacio emphasized that the case was wrongly filed and highlighted procedural errors. The complainant accused Baricuatro of violating the Fair Elections Act based on a pre-election survey that showed her leading by a significant margin. However, Topacio argued that the survey publication is not grounds for disqualification.
Despite concerns over recent decisions by the Comelec, Topacio expressed hope that the case will be resolved fairly. He warned against any attempt to subvert the will of the people and emphasized the importance of upholding democratic processes.
