Puwersa ng Masang Pilipino dared the Commission on Elections to disqualify any candidate who has violated the Omnibus Election Code, particularly the limit set on airtime for his or her campaign advertisements.

“This is an acid test for our poll officials, and if they fail this one, then the results of the May 2010 national elections will forever be put in doubt,” PMP spokesman Ralph Calinisan said.

Calinisan was reacting to the report recently by the advocacy group, Pera at Pulitika, and based on the data from the AGB Nielsen Media Research, which showed that Nacionalista Party president candidate Sen. Manny Villar has already exceeded his alloted airtime for TV campaign ads, totalling 2,054 minutes.
