MANILA -PDP-Laban, the country's ruling party, asked the Commission on Elections on Friday to re-open the period to file Certificates of Candidacy for the 2022 national and local elections. In a 20-page petition, PDP-Laban Secretary General Melvin Matibag said the poll body should consider this move, as it cannot yet proceed with printing ballots for the elections in May next year.
“We are asking the COMELEC to review its self-imposed deadlines in the interest of the electorate," Matibag said. "This petition will benefit everyone and should be intently considered by the Commission." Senators Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa and Christopher "Bong" Go initially signed up to run for the posts, but both eventually withdrew their candidacies.
