                    [Title] => Mar Roxas’ disqualification sought
                    [Summary] => A lawyers’ group filed yesterday a disqualification case against senatorial candidate Manuel Roxas II with the Commission on Elections (Comelec) for allegedly exceeding the allowed television campaign minutes, with still a month to go before the May polls.


Lawyer Vicente Bonaobra, a member of Pro-Constitution (Pro-Con), accused Roxas of having logged 161.25 minutes of television ads as of March 28, about 40 minutes more than the 120 minutes allowed for the entire campaign period.

The case against Roxas is the fifth filed by Pro-Con.

Lawyers Agripino Baybay and Patrick Velez, of the group Pro-Con, charged that Mrs. Arroyo was illegally using government resources to help boost her bid for a fresh term in the May 10 polls.

They said Mrs. Arroyo was virtually buying votes by distributing Philhealth medical insurance cards bearing her photograph during campaign sorties.
