Pinpin Uy

Last updated

In 2022, Uy made his second attempt to challenge the then-incumbent Romeo Jalosjos Jr. for the same House of Representatives seat. [2] By the end of the election, Uy's votes outnumbered that of Jalosjos and was about to be proclaimed as the victor of the election. However, controversy arose as then COMELEC Chairman Saidamen Pangarungan was speculated to have told Zamboanga del Norte's Provincial Board of Canvassers to suspend Uy's proclamation due to a pending disqualification case for a supposed nuisance candidate named Federico "Kuya Jan" Jalosjos. A month later, COMELEC proclaimed the incumbent Jalosjos as the winner after combining the votes of the nuisance Jalosjos with those of the incumbent, therefore increasing the vote count for the incumbent to qualify as the duly reelected representative. [3]

On July 21, 2022, the Supreme Court of the Philippines granted the Uy camp's plea by issuing a status quo ante order to halt COMELEC's crediting of "Kuya Jan" Jalosjos's 5,424 votes to the incumbent Jalosjos, revoking their May 12 proclamation, removing the incumbent Jalosjos from his seat just before the 19th Congress opens its sessions [4] [5]

On August 9, 2023, on a 12–2 vote, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Uy more than a year after the COMELEC proclaimed the former the winning candidate in the May 2022 elections. [6] On November 10, 2023, COMELEC declared Uy as the legitimate winner of the election; and three days later, was sworn into office as Zamboanga del Norte's 1st district representative. [7]
