IMUS CITY, Cavite — Both Emmanuel L. Maliksi and Homer T. Saquilayan – each with a claim of having won the election for mayor – vowed yesterday to abide by the rule of law and not take any action that may destabilize the city government and unsettle local citizens. Senior Supt. John C. Bulalacao, Cavite Police Provincial Office director, said the two gentlemen are keen on keeping the peace despite recent political developments. “I have filed a motion for clarification at the Comelec and would submit a motion for TRO within 15 days,” said Maliksi after the Comelec en banc affirmed the August 21 resolution of its First Division that Saquilayan had won the election.
