MANILA, Philippines — Senator-elect Rodante Marcoleta has urged the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to hold an early proclamation for winners in the senatorial race.

Marcoleta ranked sixth in the Magic 12 after getting 14,908,071 votes, according to INQUIRER.net’s tally based on partial and unofficial result transmission from the Comelec as of 11:32 p.m.
