The presentation of the certificate of candidacy (COC) of those who want to run in next year’s elections will continue this Monday.
At the Commission on Elections (Comelec) tent at a hotel in Pasay City, among those who filed their candidacies were Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso for the presidency and Dr. Willie Ong as vice president of Aksyon Demokratiko.
If they win, Moreno and Ong want to promote unity in the supposedly long-divided country.
Moreno is also confident that having a vice doctor during a pandemic is a big advantage.
There were also COC candidates for the presidency who were independent, including Juanita Trocenio, who conveyed her message through the song.
Like the PDP-Laban party, there are also 2 factions in the self-proclaimed Philippine Green Republican Party.
On Friday, Laurencio Yulaga and Alexander Lague filed a COC for the presidency and vice.
But on Monday, the second faction arrived, led by Leo Cadion, who will run for president, and his vice Princess Sunshine Amirah Magdangal.
