As of the sixth day of the filing period for certificates of candidacy (COC), 78 senatorial aspirants and 87 party-list groups have submitted their applications to the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
On Day 6 alone, 8 senatorial aspirants and 14 party-list groups filed their COCs and Certificates of Nomination and Acceptance (CONA).
Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia noted that the filing has been relatively slow, with an expectation of more party-list groups filing before the deadline.
Notable among the senatorial aspirants who filed on Day 4 were members of the Makabayan Coalition, including Gabriela Party-list Rep. Arlene Brosas and ACT Rep. France Castro.
This follows previous filings by Senators Ronald Dela Rosa and Christopher "Bong" Go, and individuals like Ben Tulfo, Sonny Matula, and Pia Cayetano.
