240 SCRA 600
Issue: Whether or not respondent Judge erred in ruling that Alejandro was not in violation of illegal
possession of firearms.
Held: To support a conviction under Sec. 261 (p) of the Omnibus Election Code, is not necessary
that the deadly weapon should have been seized from the accused while he was in the precinct or
within a radius of 100 meters therefrom, as it is enough that he carried the deadly weapon “in the
polling place or within 100 meters thereof” during any of the specified days and hours.
