A Court Injunction issued by the 22nd Division of the Court of Appeals and delivered just in the nick of time saved the day for Tampilisan mayor Romeo “Jon-jon” Jalosjos, Jr.
In a meeting with members of the press last Nov. 28, Jalosjos described his timely receipt of the court injunction as “a divine intervention” which paved way for his filing of candidacy for the congressional seat of the second district of Zamboanga Sibugay.
The young Jalosjos will be squaring off in next year’s poll with Provincial Administrator George “Jet” Hofer II.
It was learned that the court injunction ordered for the re-instatement of the name of Jalosjos in the official voter’s list in Precinct 51-F in Barangay Veterans Village in Ipil.
September 11, 2009, the Regional Trial Court of Pagadian City has ordered for the exclusion of Jon-Jon’s name as a registered voter in the said barangay.
The decision stemmed from the petition of Veterans Village punong barangay Dan Erasmo Sr., who sought for the exclusion from the voters list Jon-Jon’s name, alleging, among others, that Jalosjos was not an actual resident there since he is presently the incumbent mayor of Tampilisan in Zamboanga del Norte.
The court decision of RTC Presiding Judge Aniceto Galon, being final and executory, was enforced by the Election Registration Board of Ipil in its resolution dated Sept. 30, 2009, ordering for the deletion of Jalosjos’ name in the official list of voters in the mentioned barangay.
Jalosjos then petitioned the Court of Appeals for a certiorari and prayed for an issuance of temporary restraining order (TRO).
The appellate court refused to issue right away the TRO pending comments from, among others, the Office of Solicitor General.
But the office of the Solicitor General moved for an extension of time to file the said comment on January 2010. But the CA held that Jalosjos has “satisfactorily shown the existence of an extraordinary situation which call for the issuance of a writ of preliminary injunction,” hence the issuance.
Lawyer Richard Rambuyong, counsel for Jalosjos, said the writ was issued last Nov. 26 by the 22nd Division of the Court of Appeals based in Cagayan de Oro City and was received by the mayor the next day and forwarded the same to Ipil’s Election Registration Board, which reinstated Jalosjos’ name in the voters list.
November 27, Jalosjos filed his certificate of candidacy for congressman of the second district of Zamboanga Sibugay.
