WITH six petitions filed with the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to thwart his presidential bid in 2022, former senator Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. has yet to speak up and clear his name of the allegations against him. He has been leaving the talking to his spokesperson and his adoptive political party, the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas (PFP).

The sixth petition, filed on Thursday by a group claiming to be the real officers of PFP, questions the certificate of nomination and acceptance (CONA) issued to Marcos Jr., saying it is 'unauthorized, unilateral and illegal' because he does not belong to the group.
