00:00Yesterday, it was normal. Now, there are familiars who ate their candidature.

00:06It's like a reunion of the re-electionists and the former senator on the day 2 of the COC filing.

00:12But there are also new faces, including one who is very angry.

00:17From Manila Hotel, live on TV, Sandra Aguinaldo.

00:20Sandra.

00:22Yes, Vicky, 10 senatorial aspirants filed their Certificate of Candidacy in COMELEC today.

00:32And among them are those who will return to the Senate, and the others are the re-electionist senators.

00:38COMELEC said that they will not easily disqualify,

00:43so the list of names in the ballot in the upcoming election could be longer.

00:49They said it's because of their new ruling of the Supreme Court that they need to follow.

01:01Victoriano Inte, the first senator to file his Certificate of Candidacy in COMELEC,

01:04had to run to the Senate today.

01:08Next to him today is the re-electionist, Senator Aimee Marcos,

01:12who was accompanied by her mother, former First Lady Imelda Marcos.

01:16She announced that she is now independent, but the party put her as a nationalist in the COC.

01:22The target of the former Senate President Tito Soto also returned to the Senate.

01:27The former Senator Ping Lakson also did the same.

01:30At the same time, Senator Lito Lapid, who also filed his Certificate of Candidacy in COC,

01:37also wanted to be one of the 12 slots of the Senate of Erick Negapatan.

01:43He introduced himself as an engineer and building contractor.

01:45And Magno Manalo, he introduced himself as a pastor and our security guard.

01:50This is the third time that Betsaida Lopez ran.

01:54He was emotional in front of the media because he was always declaring nuisance.

02:00Manuel Andrada, who filed his Certificate of Candidacy in COC,

02:03also filed his Certificate of Candidacy in COC for the second time.

02:06And Gianri Gargarita, who introduced himself as an Army Reservist.

02:11According to Comelec, not everyone who filed their Certificate of Candidacy in COC will be included in the ballot

02:14because some may be disqualified or may be declared as a nuisance candidate.

02:19How is a nuisance candidate referred to?

02:22Under the Omnibus Election Code, a person who filed his Certificate of Candidacy in COC

02:29may be declared as a nuisance candidate to delay the election process or to cause confusion,

02:33such as the same name.

02:36And if there is no real intention to run, the person who filed his Certificate of Candidacy in COC is in a particular position.

02:42Comelec also said that there are two new rulings in the Supreme Court

02:45that can be said to hinder the process of declaring a nuisance candidate as an aspirant.

02:51The Supreme Court said that a person cannot declare as a nuisance candidate

02:56because he does not have the financial capacity to launch a nationwide campaign.

03:00In the second decision of the Supreme Court, the reason was removed

03:04that if you are not well-known in the society or if you don't have a political party,

03:08you will automatically be declared as a nuisance candidate.

03:11The names in the ballot may be delayed because it is possible that more people will qualify to run as a senator now.

03:17But the legal department will still charge them within five days and have them filed in Comelec and Bank.

03:25They are monitoring the movements and statements of aspirants in the media to see their intentions.

03:37Vicky, according to Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia,

03:40it is also based on the reports that they received from the PNP that the first two days of filing of the Certificate of Candidacy became smooth and quiet.

03:52Sandra, there are personalities who filed for COC even though they were declared as a nuisance candidate before.

03:58Will Comelec have a ruling if they will only accept their COC a few times even though they were declared as a nuisance candidate in the previous election?

04:10Vicky, that is what Comelec is explaining.

04:12They have no limits and they are allowed to file.

04:18They are based on the fact that all people can aspire to serve our country.

04:26That is why they are allowed to file.

04:27But the requirements for filing a COC are very strict and complete.

04:33They are allowed to file.

04:34That is why, Vicky, there are some people here who file whenever there is an election.

04:38Sometimes, they file in different positions.

04:40Sometimes, they only file for senatorial positions.

04:44So, there is no limit according to Comelec.

04:48Vicky?

04:49Sandra, more and more people are filing for COC.

04:52According to Comelec, how many candidates can we expect to see in Balota in 2025?

05:03Vicky, as of now, they cannot say an estimate or a ruling about that.

05:08But what they are saying about filing a COC is that they are liberal and they call it ministerial.

05:16They will only look if the requirements are complete.

05:19But earlier, they were explaining that they have a trial that will take place in the first 5 days.

05:29After October 1 to 8, there will be a 5-day period

05:33where the legal department of Comelec will submit their recommendations

05:40on who can be declared a nuisance candidate.

05:44These nuisance candidates can later on be justified

05:50or they can make a representation here in Comelec

05:53so that they can be included in Balota.

05:56Vicky?

05:57Thank you very much, Sandra Aguinaldo.
