Note

Former Rep. Luis "Baby" Asistio was initially barred by the Supreme Court. MTC Branch 52 Judge Arthur Malabaguio, in a 14-page decision dated Feb. 5, a copy of which was obtained by The STAR, said Asistio uses fictitious addresses and “his exclusion from the list of voters is deemed proper.” After few weeks, the Supreme Court allowed the former representative to run for mayor of the city after a disqualification order was nullified. SC spokesman Jose Midas Marquez said the Court en banc session issued the status quo order in favor of Asistio. The status quo order was to stop the implementation of the Calooocan MTC's ruling to remove Asistio’s name from the voters’ list.
