00:00In just over an hour, the Commission on Elections will start accepting the Certificate of Candidacies for the election of 2025.
00:08It's a long-awaited event at the Manila Hotel.
00:11We have with us Ivan Mayrina. Ivan, how is the situation there? Are there any people who are already there?
00:18Good morning, Marie. At the moment, we can see that the K-9 units of the police are being inspected here in the venue.
00:27This is where the so-called 10th City will take place.
00:29The acceptance of the Certificate of Candidacy of the candidates for the 2025 National and Local Elections.
00:37As you can see, it just started 30 minutes ago, and the K-9 units are following the whole venue.
00:45Also, those who are allowed to enter the venue are not allowed to enter. Only those who have been given an ID are allowed to enter.
00:52Those who have access to the venue are part of the security measures for the filing of the COC.
00:58From what we can hear, Marie, we can also hear that there are bands outside.
01:03We know that the filing of the COC is a very festive atmosphere.
01:09Of course, the candidates have their own gimmicks to get attention for their filing of the COC.
01:16The filing will start at 8 in the morning, but of course, the activity here in the venue started early.
01:23It is expected that the COC will be filed early because in the whole country,
01:30more than 18,000 positions will be fighting for the 2025 National and Local Elections.
01:38We will continue to monitor what will happen on the first day of the filing of the COC.
01:43Later, we will talk to Comelec Chairman George Garcia about the preparations of Comelec and last-minute reminders for the filing of the COC.
01:53Meanwhile, regarding the voter registration, which was held on the last day yesterday, September 30,
02:00the last day of voter registration was suspended on Batanes yesterday because of Hurricane Julian.
02:08According to GMA News Online, Comelec Chairman George Garcia said that the registration in the province was not continued yesterday
02:18for the safety of the residents and their families.
02:22Comelec allowed their local offices to suspend the last day of voter registration in Northern Luzon affected by Hurricane Julian.
02:30There is no information as to when this will continue and until when.
02:34Based on Comelec's data, on September 17, more than 3 million new registrants and 400,000 re-activated voters.
02:46According to Comelec, voter registration is no longer extended,
02:50except for those areas where voter registration was suspended due to bad weather.
02:58That's our report from Manila. Let's go back to the studio.
03:16Thanks for watching.
