The Commission on Elections (Comelec) en banc, sitting as the National Board of Canvassers, will convene at the PICC Forum Tent in Pasay City in the afternoon of May 9.
“We will convene the NBOC for senators and partylist here at 3 p.m. tomorrow May 9,” Comelec Acting Spokesperson John Rex Laudiangco said in a press briefing Sunday, May 8.
“Afterwards, it would be a continuing session just declaring break and recess in between. No adjourment, its a continuing session,” he added.
“We will wait for the certificate of canvass to be transmitted…which the NBOC will canvass,” said Laudiangco.
He stressed that only the votes for senators and partylists will be counted by the NBOC at the PICC.
“That of the president and vice president will be canvassed by the National Board at the House of Representatives,” Laudiangco said.
The poll body is eyeing the proclamation of the winning senators and party-lists in the May 9 polls in at least seven days.
