00:00Meanwhile, with the registration of candidates for next year's midterm polls over,

00:05the poll body has its work cut out for itself to separate the grain from the chaff

00:11so as to speak and finalize the list of legitimate candidates for the 2025 national and local elections.

00:18Our Luisa Errizpe narrates the details in this report.

00:24Now that the filing of candidacies for the 2025 national and local elections has ended,

00:29the Commission on Elections began its task to finalize the names of the candidates for the

00:34next year's polls. According to the Commission on Elections, this task officially started today.

00:46According to the poll body, compared to the previous elections,

00:50this year's number of aspirants for the Senate seat exceeded expectations. 183

00:56aspiring candidates are competing for the 12 Senate seats up for the grabs. But the

01:01Comalik assured they will be thoroughly reviewing all the COCs filed before their office. Though

01:08most of them file their COCs as independent candidates, they will be carefully evaluated

01:13and not summarily declared as nuisance candidates.

01:27The Comalik also has to resolve and determine the political parties that endorsed more than 12

01:43candidates whether they fall under independent candidates. Another thing is that some political

01:49parties and party lists have factions causing confusion on which candidates are truly endorsed

01:55by their peers so they can be declared officially as nominees, such as the case with the Workers and

02:01Peasants Party, many of whose members were completely unaware KOJC leader Apollo Quibuloy

02:08was one of their aspirants. This is also the problem with Magsasaka Party List,

02:13which wound up with three sets of 10 nominees.

02:26By next month, the Comalik is expected to release the final list of candidates for next year's

02:42polls. Meanwhile, the Comalik said roughly 43,000 in total filed their COCs over the week-long

02:50period. And despite gunfire incidents, the Comalik still declared a COC filing event

02:56as generally peaceful. One incident is not a reflection of the entire country.

03:08The filing of the candidacy in the entire country is so peaceful and orderly.

03:13Meanwhile, the Comalik explained what transpired on the firing incident in Sharif Aguak,

03:18Maguindanao, Del Sur. The poll bodies stressed the aspirants has a standing warrant of arrest,

03:24which is why he was arrested by authorities. As a result, the Comalik will deploy more law

03:30enforcement in the area to keep peace and order intact.

03:48The Comalik did not declare the municipality as an election hotspot as of yet,

04:05but will thoroughly monitor the area even before the election period.

04:09Louisa Erispe, from The National TV, for a new and better Philippines.
