What is Pamatong vs. COMELEC: Nuisance Candidates Explained about?

The petitioner filed to run for president but was declared a nuisance candidate by COMELEC. He claimed this violated his right to equal access to public service under the constitution. The Supreme Court ruled that the constitution does not guarantee the right to run for office, only a privilege subject to legal limitations, such as rules against nuisance candidates. It remanded the case to COMELEC to determine if the petitioner met the definition of a nuisance candidate.
