Poll bets’ supporters flock to Manila Hotel on Day 2 of COC filing
Police are deployed in the vicinity of the Manila Hotel in Manila on Oct. 2, 2024 for the 2nd day of filing of COCs.
MANILA, Philippines — The second day of filing of certificates of candidacy (COC) for the 2025 midterm elections begins early Wednesday morning.
On the ground, the situation is no different from the first day of the week-long activity, apart from the generally fair weather that greeted political aspirants and their supporters on the second day.
As early as 7 a.m., supporters of some aspiring candidates, particularly Sen. Imee Marcos, were already grouping themselves outside the Manila Hotel.
In a press conference on Tuesday evening, Garcia said Comelec’s assessment showed that the first day of COC filing was successful.
He hoped that the succeeding seven days would also be the same.
