SC allows Baguio City mayoralty bet to participate in May 13 elections 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Rey PanaliganThe Supreme Court (SC) has issued an order that allowed Baguio City mayoralty candidate Edgar Avila to participate in the May 13 elections. In a resolution, the SC granted Avila’s plea for a status quo ante order (SQAO) that, in effect, lifted, in the meantime, the ruling of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) which disqualified him as a candidate. The Comelec had earlier ruled that Avila was disqualified after he used the old form in the filing of his certificate of candidacy (COC). Candidates who used the old form have been disqualified by the Comelec.
