Barring any other developments, the Commission on Elections is set to proclaim the following as the newest elected senators today:
-
Bong Go, who won with 27,121,073 votes, Bam Aquino with 20,971,899 votes, Ronald dela Rosa with 20,773,946 votes, Erwin Tulfo with 17,118,881 votes, Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan with 15,343,229 votes, Rodante Marcoleta with 15,250,723 votes, Panfilo Lacson with 15,106,111 votes, Vicente Sotto III with 14,832,996 votes, Pia Cayetano with 14,573,430 votes, Camille Villar with 13,651,274 votes, Lito Lapid with 13,394,102 votes, and Imee Marcos with 13,339,227 votes.
Notice that the following are absent from the list of winners: show host Willy Revillame, actor Philip Salvador, media personality Ben Tulfo, boxing champion Manny Pacquiao, actor Bong Revilla, singer Jimmy Bondoc, and televangelist Apollo Quiboloy.
Notice that aside from Pacquiao, Bondoc, and Revilla, the others really don't have political experience. Notice that most of them are popular figures banking on their fame more than a political background when they ran for senator.
