The Comelec dismisses BH DQ petition after finding procedural lapses in the disqualification case filed against the Bagong Henerasyon (BH) party-list. This dismissal removes a significant obstacle for BH as election-related petitions continue to be resolved by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC).
Why Comelec Dismisses BH DQ Petition
The Comelec dismisses BH DQ petition due to the petitioners’ failure to comply with important documentary requirements. The case stemmed from allegations of partisan activities by BH nominees. However, COMELEC ruled that the petitioners:
- Failed to serve respondents a copy of the petition through personal service, opting instead for registered mail.
- Did not submit an affidavit confirming personal service refusal by respondents, as required by COMELEC rules.
- Failed to attach the respondents’ Certificate of Nomination and Certificate of Acceptance of Nomination (CON-CAN), which is mandatory for such cases.
Because of these procedural violations, COMELEC dismissed the petition.
Current Status of Bagong Henerasyon Party-List Proclamation
Even though the Comelec dismisses BH DQ petition, the Bagong Henerasyon party-list has not yet been proclaimed. COMELEC Chairperson George Garcia emphasized that the proclamation will only proceed once a final and executory decision is issued. Previously, BH and Duterte Youth were not proclaimed pending the resolution of other election petitions.

COMELEC’s Commitment to Resolve Pending Petitions by June 30
To ensure a smooth transition, COMELEC Chairperson Garcia promised that all pending petitions involving BH and Duterte Youth will be resolved before the June 30 deadline. This commitment aims to allow a timely and fair proclamation process for all legitimate winners.
Why This Matters: Understanding the COMELEC Process
The dismissal of the Comelec dismisses BH DQ petition highlights COMELEC’s strict enforcement of election procedures. It also serves as a reminder that proper documentation and adherence to rules are crucial for the timely proclamation of party-list groups.
