Ka Leody holds proclamation rally in QC amid permit snag

Labor leader and presidential aspirant Leody De Guzman pushed ahead with his proclamation rally at the Bantayog ng mga Bayani in Quezon City despite lacking permit for the gathering.

His camp said they are awaiting response on their campaign application permit before the Commission on Elections (Comelec).

"Yu'n na lang ang hinahabol. 'Yung lawyer ng Partido ng Lakas ng Masa ay inaayos na 'yung permit sa Comelec," De Guzman said.

The Comelec said earlier in the day there is no record of a campaign application permit filed de Guzman's camp.

“Definitely, it is an election offense because the requirement is they need to seek a permit first before conducting a campaign. It is an election offense,"  Comelec Director Elaiza Sabile-David said when asked about the gathering.
