Comelec to also limit attendance during PL proc
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) will limit the number of companions for winning senators to three, in addition to the senator-elect.
The proclamation of winning party-list groups will also be limited.
Comelec Acting Spokesperson John Rex Laudiangco stated that these measures are being implemented due to the ongoing pandemic and the need to comply with minimum public health standards.
This policy is similar to the restrictions imposed during the filing of certificates of candidacy.
The poll body's decision aims to ensure the health and safety of attendees amidst the continued threat of COVID-19.
The Comelec en banc, sitting as the National Board of Canvassers, is currently canvassing the votes for senators and party-lists at the Philippine International Convention Center Forum Tent in Pasay City.
Laudiangco stressed that these limits are a guide and the Comelec en banc will still release a resolution on the matter.
