The Commission on Elections-Davao (COMELEC-11) has reminded those running in the 2025 midterm elections to file their certificate of candidacy (COC) without fanfare and avoid bringing many supporters.

The COC filing will be from October 1 until October 8, 2024.

COMELEC-11 wants to have an orderly and organized COC filing.

In Davao City, only three supporters will be allowed to accompany the aspiring candidate due to the limited space in COMELEC offices. Other supporters are also prohibited to enter the Magsaysay Park.

“Dinha sa Davao City, ang ilahang gikuan kay pwede dinha gawas sa park, daghan tao walay problema pero ang pasudlon nila, is up to 4 lang. Isa ka kandidato ug tulo ka companion,” COMELEC-11 Assistant Regional Director, Atty. Gay Enumerables, said.

Security measures are already in place and more than 200 police officers will be deployed during the COC filing.

"For the filing of COC, naa ta’y 230 PNP personnel nga maghatag og seguridad aron mamintinar nato ang kahapsay ug kalinaw during the filing of COC,” Davao City Police Office (DCPO) Spokesperson, Capt. Hazel Tuazon, said.
