PFP wants Guanzon disbarred

The Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP) on Friday asked the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) to probe Commissioner Rowena Guanzon over her premature announcement that she voted to disqualify president bet Bongbong Marcos in the 9 May elections.

PFP general counsel Atty. George Briones claimed that Guanzon “illegally disclosed and leaked with undue haste” her vote in the pending disqualification cases against Marcos, his party’s standard-bearer.

“Because of her premature disclosure or leaking of her yet promulgated dissenting opinion, Commissioner Guanzon should be disbarred, with forfeiture of her retirement benefits and lifetime pension because she destroyed the reputation of the institution where these monies come from,” Briones said.

Brionez added that Guanzon should be disbarred, with forfeiture of her retirement benefits and lifetime pension for revealing her vote on the disqualification petition against Marcos pending before the Comelec’s First Division.
