“No Basis for Disqualification” – Rep. Maza

MANILA -- "With the allegations of petitioners shrouded by false and
malicious lies, there is clearly no basis for this move to disqualify
Gabriela Women's Party and other progressive party lists," said
Representative Liza Maza of Gabriela Women's Party during a hearing
today at COMELEC on a petition for disqualification against their
party list.

"If the petitioners can lie about something as basic as their
addresses, they can lie about the rest of their allegations," added
Maza.

According to Maza, the petitioners were no longer residents of
Barangay Cruz and Barangay Curva, Bongabon, Nueva Ecija long before
the petitioners filed their cases at the COMELEC.

"This fabricated murder charge plus the military harassment of our
members in communities and Norberto Gonzales' gung-ho yet tiresome
red-baiting is clearly a part of a whole government choreography to
discredit us and keep us from taking seats in the Congress," added
Maza

"We would not be surprised if behind the cloaks of the petitioners –
who up to now have yet to show their real selves -- we will find the
faces of Gonzales, Eduardo Ermita and even Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo,"
Maza said. ###
