Former president Rodrigo Duterte had earlier endorsed aspirants for the 2025 senatorial and party-list elections.
Those who reject being tagged as "bobotante" or "bayaran" should show the candidates they're not stupid or paid voters who value popularity and entertainment more than integrity and leadership quality.
For the first time, the BARMM will have an election to fill 80 seats in the Bangsamoro parliament in May 2025, simultaneously with the midterm national elections.
From saying it will ban premature campaigning in the 2025 polls, Comelec now says it cannot circumvent the 2007 law that repealed the restriction.
After the standing ovations and thunderous applause in the SONA, the president should work much harder now. The midterm election is still 10 months away, and many things could still happen in between.
The ball is still in the individual voters to make the election results credible by actively participating in the process, being discerning, and making sure that votes are counted properly.
Former president Rodrigo Duterte said in 2023 he will come out of retirement if Vice President Sara Duterte is impeached.
Noong Nobyembre, sinabi ng 78-anyos na si Duterte na tatakbo siya sa pagka-senador o bise-presidente kung ma-impeach ang kanyang anak na si Vice President Sara Duterte.
