Poe's accuser Rizalito David files COC for president

Rizalito David, who filed a disqualification case against Senator Grace Poe, is running for president.

David and his running mate Albert Alba were the second pair who filed their certificates of candidacy with Commission on Elections' main office in Manila on Monday, the first day of the week-long period for the filing of COC for the 2016 elections.

The first pair was Vice President Jejomar Binay and Senator Gringo Honasan.

David and Alba are running under the Ang Kapatiran party.

In his speech, David said they are aiming to espouse Catholic ways in governance.

He also said he will not file a disqualification case against Poe when she files her COC for the presidency.

David, an unsuccessful senatorial candidate in the 2013 elections, has filed a disqualification case against Poe on the grounds of her citizenship, saying the neophyte senator is not a natural-born Filipino.

The case is currently pending at the Senate Electoral Tribunal. —KBK, GMA News
