COMELEC Disqualifies Tarlac City Mayor
The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) has declared Tarlac City Mayor Susan Yap-Sulit ineligible to hold office due to a residency issue.
In a unanimous decision dated October 22, 2025, the COMELEC en banc ruled in favor of the petitioners, reversing an earlier decision that dismissed the case on technical grounds.
- The ruling found that Yap-Sulit failed to meet the one-year residency requirement under the Local Government Code.
- COMELEC withdrew Yap-Sulit's proclamation as the winner of the May 2025 elections.
Base po sa ebidensiya ng ating mga barangay official, barangay health worker at kahit po 'yung sariling political ally ni Susan Yap ay sinabing hindi po sila nakatira sa Brgy. Nakita po na warehouse lang po 'yung sinasabing bahay niya - Atty. Aaron Dapano
