CEBU CITY — A new disqualification petition has been filed against dismissed Mandaue City mayor Jonas Cortes, challenging his bid for reelection in the upcoming 2025 polls.
The petition, the second lodged against the mayor, was filed by lawyer Ervin Estandarte on October 25 and received by the Commission on Elections (Comelec) on October 28. It seeks to cancel Cortes' certificate of candidacy (CoC) for alleged material misrepresentation.
