More than a month after being disqualified, Nicanor Perlas and Danny Lim are now official candidates for the Philippine elections in May 2010.

Through Resolution 8743, the Comelec en banc announced that presidential aspirant Perlas and Liberal Party senatorial bet Lim have been included in the final list of candidates for the elections.

According to the resolution, Perlas was allowed to participate in the presidential race because of his "distinguished track record in public service" and capacity to launch a nationwide campaign through the environmentalist’s "access to national media" and "organized group of persons… who volunteered to support for his bid for candidacy."

"This is a historical decision… because it sends a message for really qualified candidates of this country that not only money will be the qualification (to run for an elective post), but the vision for Filipinos," Perlas told reporters on Thursday.
