DQ petition filed vs. bet

Two Mandaue City residents have filed a petition to disqualify Atty. Nilo “Olin” Seno and suspend his proclamation if he wins in the elections.

- 

Complainants Eydie “Ligaya” Sanrojo and Christian Ceniza wants Seno be disqualified to run for the position of Mandaue City councilor, for violating Section 2 (r) and Section 3 of Comelec Resolution 11116 dated February 19, 2025, as amended by Comelec Resolution 11127, dated April 8, 2025, in relation to Section 261 (e) of the Omnibus Election Code.

That section addresses violation of an Anti-Discrimination Ordinance or to any act “during the election period, in connection with or in relation to any election-related activity including but not limited to campaign activities, falling under the prohibited acts of an Anti-Discrimination Ordinance committed within the territorial jurisdiction of a local government unit implementing said ordinance”.

The complainants also prayed to suspend Seno’s proclamation if he wins in the elections as the evidence against him is strong.

However, Seno isn’t seeking a seat in the City Council but as board member of Cebu’s 6th District.

“This is a dismissible complaint. This is just a piece of paper. This is just a move to hassle a potential winning candidate,” said Seno when sought for comment.
