FACT CHECK: Marcy Teodoro NOT disqualified from vying for congressional seat in 2025 polls

WHAT WAS CLAIMED

Marcy Teodoro has been disqualified from running for district representative of Marikina City in the 2025 elections.

OUR VERDICT

False:

There is no confirmation from the Comelec that Marikina Mayor Marcy Teodoro is disqualified from running for congressman.

Last December 2024, the Comelec First Division granted a petition to cancel his certificate of candidacy for the district he intends to represent. But there was no final and executory decision from the Comelec en banc on the matter.
