The first day of the filing of certificates of candidacy (COC) last Oct. 1 was "so far, so good," according to an official of the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV).

In an interview yesterday over dzBB, PPCRV national coordinator Arwin Serrano said the first day of filing COC went well.

"We are praying that the eight days of filing COCs would be orderly," he said.

"Maybe it is because the noisy candidates have not filed their COCS yet. But we are expecting the bands and a large number of supporters to accompany them... But it is OK if they are noisy, for as long as they are not rowdy," he added.

For the 2025 midterm elections, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) set the 90-day campaign for national candidates (senators and partylists) from Feb. 11 to May 10, 2025.
