Marcy Teodoro proclaimed Marikina 1st District Rep

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) on Tuesday formally proclaimed former Marikina Mayor Marcy Teodoro as the winning congressional candidate of the city's 1st district for Eleksyon 2025. 'It appears that Teodoro, Marcy garnered 75, 062 votes for the Office of member, House of Representatives. The same being the highest number of votes legally cast for the said office. On the basis of the foregoing, we hereby proclaim Teodoro as the duly-elected member, House of Representatives of NCR, City of Marikina 1st District,' said Comelec-Marikina 1st district election officer Atty. Dave Villarosa said during the proclamation. The proclamation was held at the Marikina Public Market Function Hall at around 4:30 p.m. It was conducted hours after the Board of Canvassers met and discussed the certificate of finality and entry of judgment issued by the Comelec en banc for case of the former mayor, which paved the way for Teodoro's proclamation as representative of the 1st district of Marikina Teodoro earlier lamented the refusal of Marikina Comelec to proclaim him, saying the local poll body office told him they were waiting for the issuance of a Comelec resolution for their convening. Poll chief George Erwin Garcia explained there is no need to issue another resolution for the Board of Canvassers to convene. However, he said that based on Comelec rules, a local poll body office should first issue a notice of meeting of the BOC to inform all parties that they will convene and discuss the details for the proclamation. A subsequent notice to proclaim will also be issued following the meeting. 'Maaaring ang kadahilanan kung bakit hindi pa agad tumatalima ang CBOC ay sapagkat kakailanganin na mayroong notice. Ibig sabihin, hindi porke ngayon nag-issue ang Comelec main office ng entry of judgment and certificate of finality ay ngayong araw na ito rin ipapatupad ang pagpapasumpa,' Garcia told reporters. (Maybe the CBOC is waiting for a notice to convene. It does not mean that once the entry of judgment and certificate of finality has been issued by the Comelec main office, the proclamation should follow immediately.) 'Maaaring ine-exercise muna ng CBOC ang tinatawag na due process sa pamamagitan ng pagi-issue ng notice dun sa mga partido, whether sa nanalo o natalo, na sila ay magc-convene upang isagawa ang pinag-uutos sa kanila ng en banc,' he added. (The CBOC could be exercising due process by issuing a notice to all parties, whether winners or losers, that it will convene to follow the order of the en banc.) The Marikina Comelec issued a notice of meeting for the BOC to convene on July 1 at 1:30 p.m. to discuss the certificate of finality and entry of judgment issued by the en banc. A notice for the proclamation was released shortly after. —RF, GMA Integrated News For more Eleksyon 2025 related content and updates, visit GMA News Online's Eleksyon 2025 microsite.
