Grace hopes for swift DQ resolution

THE camp of independent presidential candidate Senator Grace Poe is optimistic that the Supreme Court will act swiftly and impartially on the two disqualification cases filed against her just as it quickly acted on her petition for a temporary restraining order (TRO) on the cancellation of her certificate of candidacy (COC).

At the same time, Senator Francis Escudero, Poe’s vice-presidential running mate, said he is hoping that the SC justices will put to task the Commission on Elections (Comelec) for “bullying” Poe.
