Poe told to submit proof on DQ case

THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) on Wednesday denied a plea of presidential candidate Sen. Grace Poe to give her 30 more days to comment on a disqualification case filed against her by a radio reporter.

The Comelec law department, through investigating officer, lawyer Jane Valleza, only granted the senator 10 days or until November 13 to appear before the commission for preliminary investigation and submission of her counter-affidavit and other supporting documents, as well as controverting evidence.
