A PETITION has been filed against a woman candidate for councilor in Calasiao town for not being a registered voter in the municipality.

The petition was filed against Raquel Victoria Lim, a candidate for councilor under the PDP-Laban whose name could not be found in the list of voters in Calasiao town.

Lim, actually born in Calasiao, is running for councilor under the ticket of former Calasiao Mayor Celso de Vera.

A certification made by German Balolong, municipal election officer of Calasiao, showed that the name of Lim was nowhere to be found in the certified list of registered voters in the town.

Provincial Elections Supervisor Reddy Balbarbar admitted the petition for disqualification of Ms. Lim was field before his office.

Four other cases have been filed, three of them petitions against nuisance candidates and another against another woman candidate tagged as a dual citizen.

He said he had asked all the parties tagged as nuisance candidates to submit their respective position papers before ruling out on them.

But the two petitions for disqualifications were both submitted to the Comelec in Manila for resolution. (PNA)
