(Eagle News) — Former San Juan Vice Mayor Francis Zamora has accused Mayor Guia Gomez of hiding from the election officer tasked to serve the notice that the recall petition against her has been approved by the Commission on Elections.
Gomez needs to receive the notice so the Comelec can set a deadline for her reply.
“Ito’y hindi na lang pagtatago sa notice of sufficiency. Sa kanyang pagtatago, hindi niya na rin nagagawa ang kanyang tungkulin bilang mayor ng San Juan,” Zamora, who was defeated by Gomez in the recent local elections, said.
“We appeal to the Comelec en banc to guide the Comelec San Juan election officers on how to properly serve the notice of sufficiency as Mayor Gomez is not reporting to work in the City Hall and is evading the election officer,” he added.
The Comelec released the resolution favoring the petition seeking a mayoralty election between defeated mayoral candidate Zamora and Gomez on Wednesday.
The petition was filed by Zamora’s supporters.
