Comelec sets Nov. 26 prelim conf on BBM COC petition
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has scheduled a preliminary conference for November 26 to discuss petitions seeking to cancel former Senator Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr.'s certificate of candidacy.

Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez stated that the preliminary conference aims to clarify positions and matters related to the petitions, after which parties will submit memoranda within three days.
