PHThe Commission on Elections (Comelec) in the Philippines has disqualified Anwar Salipada Alamada's candidacy for the 5th District of Maguindanao del Sur in the upcoming Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) parliamentary elections. Alamada, representing the United Bangsamoro Justice Party (UBJP), was accused by rival candidate Rafsanjani Pendatun Ali of false residency claims, leading to the revocation of his certificate of candidacy. The ruling by the Comelec 2nd Division states that Alamada committed 'false material representation.' His legal team, led by Badrodin Mangindra, plans to appeal the decision through a motion for reconsideration with the Comelec en banc and potentially the Supreme Court. Despite the disqualification, Alamada remains on the ballot as number 1, and his team urges vigilance against misinformation ahead of the September 14 elections.
