| | GO vs Comelec : 147741 : May 10, 2001 : J. Pardo : En Banc |
 | | the COMELEC justified its resolution on the ground that petitioner’s affidavit of withdrawal of her certificate of candidacy for mayor of Baybay, Leyte was ineffectual because it was submitted twenty eight (28) minutes late at the office of the municipal election officer at Baybay. |
 | | The petitions were based on the ground that petitioner filed certificates of candidacy for two positions, namely, that for mayor of Baybay, Leyte, and that for governor of Leyte, thus, making her ineligible for both. |
 | | Catalina L. Go, on the other hand is likewise of legal age, married, resident of Baybay, Leyte, of which locality she is a registered voter, and the incumbent Member of the House of Representatives representing the 5th Congressional District of Leyte. |
