Pre-election Disqualification

A local politician, Mr. Garcia, filed his Certificate of Candidacy (COC) for the mayoralty position in a highly contested city in the upcoming elections. However, an concerned citizen, Mr. Lopez, filed a Petition for Disqualification with the Commission on Elections (COMELEC), alleging that Mr. Garcia is not eligible to run for office due to the following circumstances:

1. Mr. Garcia was previously convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude;
2. He failed to file his Statements of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN) for the past three years; and
3. His COC contained false material information regarding his educational attainment.

Based on the given scenario, discuss the legal grounds and the process for the Petition for Disqualification filed by Mr. Lopez against Mr. Garcia. Considering the applicable laws and jurisprudence, analyze the likelihood of the Petition succeeding and the potential consequences for Mr. Garcia if disqualified.
