00:47 We know that there are a lot of people, so we were here at 5.30 in the morning.
00:53 I was the first to file, the barangay captain of the district court.
00:57 We really want to be the first to file because we are super excited for the upcoming local elections.
01:04 Six steps are required for the COC filing, including screening, verification, releasing, encoding, writing on the log sheet, and obtaining details on the approval of the Statement of Contributions and Expenditures.
