Dismissed Mayor Cortes reinstated as mayoral candidate
- Dismissed Mandaue City Mayor Jonas Cortes is reinstated as a mayoral candidate after the Supreme Court issued a temporary restraining order preventing the Commission on Elections from canceling his certificate of candidacy and removing his name from the list of candidates for the May national and local elections.
- The Supreme Court's resolution stated that the TRO would remain in effect until a final decision is reached, ensuring Cortes' name must be included on the ballots if COMELEC prints them before the court resolves the case.
- Cortes expressed gratitude for the TRO, stating, 'Truly the Supreme Court is impartial,' while his supporters felt renewed optimism about his candidacy as the election approaches.
- The Supreme Court also issued TROs for eight other candidates, including Mary Grace R. David and Aldrian B. Sta. Ana, who faced similar challenges with their candidacies being canceled by COMELEC.
