Image from Comelec / Facebook MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Elections (Comelec) will proclaim all winning party-list groups Thursday afternoon despite having pending cases, Commissioner George Garcia said Thursday. Garcia's remark came after he recently floated the possibility of non-issuance of a certificate of proclamation when a disqualification case is filed against a party. 'But we have precedents and in our precedent that we have been following, even if you have a pending case and based on our determination, the cases are not that meritorious or even if meritorious, we can even still proceed with the proclamation of these candidates or these party-lists with pending cases,' Garcia said on ANC's Headstart.
