02:45they still have the right to continue in the service.
02:48These qualifications are based on
02:50Article 6, Section 6 of the 1987 Constitution
02:53and Section 9 of the Republic Act No. 7491.
02:57If this is what we're talking about,
02:59it doesn't matter what your previous jobs were.
03:02More than 300 districts and party-lists
03:05will vote in the upcoming election
03:07to serve for three consecutive years.
03:10Aside from their agreement in every bill
03:13before the President signs it,
03:15they also have the right to start an impeachment

04:14And the age of the members of the Sanggulian Palunsod and Sanggulian Bayan on the day of election should not be lower than 18 years old.
04:24Take note, even if you are not a natural-born Filipino, you can still run for local positions as long as you are a Filipino citizen.
04:32These qualifications are based on the Local Government Code.
04:36It is based on the upcoming election who will take over over 900 provincial posts and almost 17,000 positions in the cities and municipalities of the Philippines.
04:47Local governments have local autonomy, but this is not absolute.
04:52Through the Local Government Code of 1991, local autonomy was clarified where the power, authority, responsibilities, and wealth of local government units are decentralized.
05:04But not everyone who filed for COC is already pushed to run for election, okay?
05:09There are so-called nuisance candidates, the Commission on Elections.
05:14Nuisance candidate is the official term for candidates whose candidacy was rejected by the Comelec,
05:19possibly because of the Commission's will or through a verified petition of an interested party.
05:27According to Section 69 of the Omnibus Election Code, a nuisance candidate is the person who filed for COC just to make the election process a joke.
05:37To confuse voters due to the similarity of names or other events that clearly show that the candidate does not have a sincere intention to run.
05:48The Comelec is committed to resolving the cases of nuisance candidates for the 2025 midterm elections at the end of November this year.
05:57Qualifications in the law are only filtered for people who can run for a public position.
06:03But it is still in the hands of our Filipino voters how the next leaders of our country will choose.
06:09So in the upcoming election, avoid being a bare minimum enjoyer.
06:14Also, don't be fooled by a single word, okay?
06:18Because it's time to give our trust to the people who truly serve the first priority.
06:25Because that's what the people of the country deserve.
06:28Don't be fooled!
06:30Pidiyun!
