Sen. Leila de Lima has filed Senate Bill No. 2461 seeking to prevent the abuse of an election law provision allowing the substitution of a candidate for another who has withdrawn. | cgonzalesINQ

Meanwhile, De Lima also lamented how some political parties had been resorting to fielding placeholders or nominating persons with no real intention of running for public office only to substitute them later.

De Lima’s bill requires that the substitute of a candidate who has withdrawn his or her candidacy must, at the very least, already be a member of the political party of the aspirant withdrawing at the time of the filing of the latter’s certificate of candidacy. “This practice of last-minute party-hopping or party-hunting during and even after the original Comelec period for filing certificates of candidacies has ended must stop now, as it puts to shame even ordinary and regular party-hopping done several months or weeks before the filing of certificates of candidacy,” the senator added.

Roque on BBM: Di po naging diktador si Bongbong MarcosSenatorial candidate Harry Roque said Monday he did his due diligence by examining the cases of his presidential bet Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr and found no evidence linking him to the dictatorship of his father. Great Ayan na ang mga balita ng biased media. Kahit ano pang gawin niyo hindi na bababa ang survey rating ni BBM. Si Roque kung d man manalo malamang may pwesto pa rin yan sa gobyerno. Pero isa siya sa mga nakinabang. According to the Court's decision regarding Imelda's conviction, various overseas accounts are under his and his sisters' name. Pakibalik na lang po, patunay na sincere public servant ka 😅.
