Former National Youth Commission (NYC) chairperson Ronald Cardema on Friday asked the Commission on Elections (Comelec) for a 25-day extension to file his counter-affidavit on a complaint filed against him for material misrepresentation.
Cardema asked the Comelec’s law department for him to file the necessary documents until January 7, 2020. The deadline was supposed to be on Friday, December 13. He personally filed the “motion for extension of time” at the Comelec head office in Intramuros, Manila.
Cardema also noted that his motion was “filed not to delay the proceedings but solely due to the aforementioned reason, all in the interest of justice and fair play.” Cardema was accused of violating Section 74 of the Omnibus Election Code or for material misrepresentation over his age qualification, when he declared himself as an eligible nominee of the Duterte Youth Party-list group during the recent May 2019 National and Local Elections.
