00:00Meanwhile, on Tuesday, the issuance of the Certificate of Candidacy to the COMELEC was started by those who were willing to run.
00:07But there are still issues that need to be resolved by the COMELEC, including the vote of the members of EMBO Barangay,
00:13and the possible run again by Dismissed Mayor Alice Guo.
00:17Bona Kino was there.
00:22On October 1, the issuance of the Certificate of Candidacy or COC
00:28was passed in the national and local elections on May 12, 2025.
00:3218,280 seats will be contested across the country.
00:36Those who will run for the seat, sometimes, there are still issues.
00:40Is this considered premature campaigning?
00:43COMELEC Chairman George Erwin Garcia said, not yet.
00:47We are waiting for that because it is his strategy, his style of filing for candidacy.
00:53As far as election law or election laws are concerned, there are still no issues.
00:58Because there are still no candidates.
01:02COMELEC will also urge the COCs to blame the so-called troublemakers or nuisance candidates.
01:09The commission promised that it will resolve these cases until November 30.
01:15Whether a petitioner or a candidate is final or we are final,
01:20we will resolve it at the inbound level so that the troublemakers and nuisance candidates will not run.
01:27COMELEC will accept the COCs of anyone who will file from October 1 to October 8, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
01:35What if Dismissed Bamban Mayor Alice Guo ran again,
01:38according to her lawyer in a text message on GMA Integrated News,
01:42the COCs will blame her?
01:45Even if she is in jail now, we will accept her Certificate of Candidacy.
01:51If her name will be included in the ballot, or if she will be allowed to run, that's another story.
01:55But there is a problem that COMELEC needs to resolve when it comes to the voting of residents
02:00of 10 enlisted men's barrios or MBO barangays that were moved to Taguig City.
02:06Because they will not be able to vote for the congressman because there is no law
02:10that creates another district of Taguig.
02:13As long as we do not receive action from Congress, we cannot do anything.
02:17We do not have the power to create a district.
02:19At present, there are more than 300,000 registered voters of 10 MBO barangays,
02:24which is enough to form a legislative district.
02:28They will wait for the joint concurrent resolution of the Congress on this.
02:33It should also be clear where the candidates from 10 barangays will be required to file as COCs.
02:40COMELEC is arguing that the voters cannot be disenfranchised.
