SUBSTITUTION LAW SA BANSA, BINALAHURA

BINANATAN ni Senadora Leila de Lima ang ilang politiko sa tinawag niyang pambababoy o pambabalahura sa substitution law kaugnay sa pagkandidato sa susunod na eleksyon.

Sinabi ni De Lima na ang batas na dapat ay nagbibigay pribilehiyo sa political parties na mag-substitute ng kanilang kandidato sa lehitimong dahilan ay naging oportunidad sa mga ‘party hoppers’ o mga lumilipat-lipat ng partido.

“Their eventual candidacies in parties they were not even members of were facilitated by the rampant use of placeholders who were essentially nuisance candidates whose only purpose is to help prolong the power-haggling and political machinations taking place behind the Filipinos’ collective back, and thereafter relinquish their candidacies to these party-hoppers,” pahayag ni De Lima.

Iginiit ng mambabatas na dapat miyembro na ng partido ang sinomang magsisilbing substitute sa sandaling naghain ito ng kanyang kandidatura.

“But when the substitute is not even a party member at the time of the filing of the original certificate to be substituted, the substitution should be deemed null,” diin ni de Lima.

“This has to end in this election cycle. Otherwise, there will always be Dutertes out there who will continue to exploit loopholes in election laws and use privileges accorded to political parties for their own individual interests,” giit pa ng mambabatas. (DANG SAMSON-GARCIA)
