Equally commendable is Comelec’s decision to hold in abeyance the proclamations of candidates with pending disqualification cases, signaling its intent to uphold electoral integrity without fear or favor. This breaks from the past, when questionable candidacies often sailed through procedural loopholes, and is a welcome show of institutional maturity. The commitment to resolve such cases promptly must now be matched by concrete timelines and transparency in adjudication.
The 2025 polls also laid bare lingering weaknesses in our electoral architecture. Political dynasties continue to dominate the landscape—often fielding multiple family members across local and national races.

The 2025 elections were not without flaws, but they represent progress. In a democracy often beset by cynicism, the Comelec’s performance this year — under the leadership of Chairman George Erwin Garcia — has offered a measure of reassurance: that institutions can evolve, that transparency is possible, and that the will of the people can be both respected and efficiently expressed.
