Moreover, the Comelec Rules of Procedure are subject to a liberal
construction. This liberality is for the purpose of promoting the
effective and efficient implementation of the objectives of ensuring the
holding of free, orderly, honest, peaceful and credible elections and
for achieving just, expeditious and inexpensive determination and
disposition of every action and proceeding brought before the Comelec.[17] Thus we have declared:
"It has been frequently decided, and it may be stated as a general rule recognized by all courts, that statutes providing for election contests are to be liberally construed to the end that the will of the people in the choice of public officers may not be defeated by mere technical objections. An election contest, unlike an ordinary action, is imbued with public interest since it involves not only the adjudication of the private interests of rival candidates but also the paramount need of dispelling the uncertainty which beclouds the real choice of the electorate with respect to who shall discharge the prerogatives of the office within their gift. Moreover, it is neither fair nor just to keep in office for an uncertain period one whose right to it is under suspicion. It is imperative that his claim be immediately cleared not only for the benefit of the winner but for the sake of public interest, which can only be achieved by brushing aside technicalities of procedure which protract and delay the trial of an ordinary action."[18]
