“Bagamat yung natitira medyo madami-dami pa rin yun kaya inaanticipate natin yung pagdagsa nila dalawang araw bago yung mismong last day ng filing ng certificate of candidacy,” Comelec Chairman George Garcia told the media.

(However, the remaining party-lists are quite a lot so we’re anticipating the influx of party-list groups two days before the last day of COC and certificates of nomination and acceptance (CONA) filing.)

The filing of COCs runs from Oct. 1 to 8, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. —RF, GMA Integrated News
