Comelec: No incident on 2nd day of filing of COCs
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is implementing stricter guidelines for the filing of certificates of candidacy (COC) from October 1 to 8, 2024, for the May 12, 2025 national and local elections.
The Manila Hotel Tent City is the venue for COC filing for senatorial and party-list nominee aspirants, with specific allowances for companions.
Security measures are in place, and applicants must present five copies of a notarized, fully accomplished COC with a photo and documentary stamp tax.
The first and second days of filing have been generally peaceful across the country, with no reported untoward incidents.
Comelec Chairperson George Erwin Garcia expressed gratitude for the peaceful filing process nationwide.
A power outage in Mindanao on the first day did not hamper the agency from receiving aspiring political candidates, as it was resolved quickly and did not affect the process.
