Tuloy ang laban: Residents air support for Mayor Marcy amid COC cancellation
Marikeños expressed their full support for incumbent Marikina City Mayor Marcy Teodoro following the Commission on Elections (Comelec) First Division's decision to cancel his Certificate of Candidacy (COC) for 1st District representative of the city, citing alleged material misinterpretation about his place of residence.

The residents took to social media to express their support for Teodoro and urged him to continue the fight for the truth and for his constituents.
"Tuloy lang po ang laban. Kasama nyo kaming lahat sa anumang laban na inyong tatahakin nandito po kami para sa inyo (The fight must go on. We are with you in whatever path you're going to take)," a resident said.
"Naniniwala po kami hindi pahihintulutan ni Lord ang masama nilang balak sa inyo lalo na sa taumbayan. Patuloy kaming susuporta at naniniwala sa tapat nyong paglilingkod sa mga taga-Marikina (We believe that the Lord will not allow their bad intentions happen toi you and the people whom you have been serving. We will continue to support and believe in your honest service to us)," another resident posted.
The hashtag #ISupportMayorMarcy also became trending on social media after Comelec's cancellation of the mayor's COC.
Motion for Reconsideration
On Dec. 11, Teodoro said he would file a Motion for Reconsideration as the decision is not yet final and executory.
“I will file a Motion for Reconsideration and I have five days from today within which to do so. The Resolution is not yet final and for all intents and purposes, I am still a legitimate candidate for Member of the House of Representatives of the First District of Marikina,” the mayor stressed.
According to the rules promulgated by the Comelec, particularly Comelec Resolution No. 11046, a motion to reconsider a resolution of a division of the Comelec can be filed within five days from receipt thereof, and the filing of the Motion for Reconsideration suspends the execution for implementation of the resolution.
In its ruling, the Comelec stated that Teodoro failed to prove that he was a resident of the first district “for at least one year before the May 2025 elections.”
“Nonetheless, that Respondent deliberately and materially misrepresented the fact of his residency in the First District, is enough of a ground to cancel or deny due course his CoC,” it added.
