	GR No. 135613 2000-03-09	ARTHUR V. VELAYO v. COMELEC PUNO, J.
"WHEREFORE, premises considered, the proclamation of Arthur V. Velayo is hereby ANNULLED. The Board of Canvassers of Gapan, Nueva Ecija is hereby DIRECTED to convene immediately, exclude Precincts 44A, 44A2 and 50A & 50A1[20] and immediately proclaim the winning candidate for mayor of Gapan, Nueva Ecija.
	GR Nos. 139573-75 2000-03-07	JUNE GENEVIEVE R. SEBASTIAN v. COMELEC QUISUMBING, J.
In Sison v. COMELEC,[14] we ruled that:"…The reason underlying the delimination both of substantive ground and procedure is the policy of the election law that pre-proclamation controversies should be summarily decided, consistent with the law's desire that the canvass and proclamation be delayed as little as possible. That is why such questions which require more deliberate and necessarily longer consideration, are left for examination in the corresponding election protest."
