Ousted Albay gov asks court for status quo ante order

LEGAZPI CITY, Albay: Two months after Noel Rosal was booted out from his office as Albay governor by the Commission on Elections (Comelec), he again asked the Supreme Court to issue a status quo ante order (SQAO) to allow him to reassume or be reinstated to his post while his petition is still pending before the court.

Rosal's plea came after the Supreme Court en banc issued a decision in favor of Agoo Mayor Frank Ong Sibuma on Jan. 24, 2023, upholding the election of the former as mayor of Agoo, La Union.
