If the original candidate dies or is disqualified, the substitute can file their COC from November 16, 2021, up to midday of May 9, 2022 (election day), provided the substitute and the original candidate have the same surname. Substitutes cannot run in case of withdrawals during this period.

Midday of election day is also the deadline for substituting party-list nominees by reason of death or incapacity.

- Sec. 77 of Batas Pambansa Blg. 881 as amended by RA 9006 of which states;
"Section 12. Substitution of Candidates. – In case of valid substitutions after the official ballots have been printed, the votes cast for the substituted candidates shall be considered as stray votes but shall not invalidate the whole ballot. For this purpose, the official ballots shall provide spaces where the voters may write the name of the substitute candidates if they are voting for the latter: Provided, however, That if the substitute candidate of the same family name, this provision shall not apply."

Isang Marcos na lang pwede pumalit kay BBM after Monday. hehe, baka si Francis Leo?

Mas ok pa sa kin si imee Marcos, witty, mas may utak sa brother nya. [emoji23]

We will never know. They are dictated by how the voters are reacting to their initial "unofficial" campaign sorties imho. Plus the fact that some like BBM and Manny decided not to withdraw or join forces kasi with the admin. PGMA had a hand in this all along though.

Talagang preservation of self-interest for past misdeeds. Ayaw nila makabalik ang "dilawan" kuno pero sila-sila hindi makadecide at magkasundo kung sino Pres at VP.

Re DQ case of BBM, the COMELEC and the SC (it will reach the SC for sure) might just wait it out. If BBM wins, no problem, they can find an excuse that CA did not hand a prison term anyway. If BBM loses, much better, moot and acedemic na ang legal issue. Though they can choose to answer (capable of repitition while evading review princple) or just let it be a hanging question.

What about China? The results of the election will significantly impact the balance of power in the WPS.

Siyempre they would gladly support the one who is willing to kiss their arse. That's BBM and Sara.

HOW GLORIA SOLD OFF SARA TO THE MARCOSES LIKE A TRAFFICKER
-Wifredo Garrido

"In hindsight, it is safe to say that Rodrigo Duterte had no prior knowledge of Gloria Arroyo's machinations to form a Sara-Bongbong tandem. As I narrated in a previous post, the harebrained plot was hatched behind his back and it blew up in everybody's faces.

The reason Gloria didn't tell Duterte is because she thought the harebrained plot she was a masterstroke and that she was doing him a favor.

She would simply deliver to him the grand bargain once it was a done deal - a compact that guaranteed him continued hold on the Palace through surrogates.

Rodrigo, however, does not like outsiders intervening in family matters - especially political directions the family may take.

He may be on his last legs as president but he still wants to have control over his succession. That meant only one thing: keeping the Philippines as the property of the Duterte family, to be passed on to the next generation. Exactly the same way he had treated Davao City.

He is fond of talking about "my police," "my army," "my government" - because that's what the Philippines has become, a province of Davao, which is in turn the kingdom of the Dutertes.

From the very start, he wanted Sara to succeed him, she being the least degenerate of his offspring. However, Sara tends to be headstrong unlike his sons whom he treats as his useful idiots.

She is the rebel that likes to go off the reservation. Just as Rodrigo himself was regarded by his own parents as prodigal, reprobate, misbegotten. Even when she was handed the mayoralty of Davao City as her training ground to national leadership, she tended to keep her own counsel, firing all of her father's appointees as soon as she took his seat.

Now, she came under the spell of Gloria Arroyo, her mentor, the well-intentioned former president who thought she could teach Sara the art of politics that is more refined than her father's unscrupulous methods, based on mass murder and deceit.

The first time they applied Gloria's tactics, they ousted Panty Alvarez as Speaker without breaking a sweat - then later Sara did it on her own by pulling the rug from under Cayetano, though it took a little more effort. Now, they were ready for the big time - winning the 2022 elections against a stellar cast of rivals.

Gloria thought she could pull off Duterte's feat in 2016 for Sara - minus his dirty tricks.

Sara liked what she heard. She had long chafed under her father's tutelage and she wanted to fight her own battles.

What was in it for Gloria playing the kingmaker? What else, the Speakership, which she helped steal from under Alvarez and Cayetano.

Gloria's strategy was simple enough. Broker an alliance with the Marcoses, thereby combining their Solid North with the Duterte strongholds in Mindanao and the Visayas to form an unbeatable tandem.

Gloria's mistake, however, was that she did not reckon with the insatiable greed of the Marcoses who were hellbent on retaking Malacañang; she simply assumed they would go on board the plan just as she hoped Rodrigo would grudgingly acquiesce to it, once they realized its brilliance.

It was like she was selling Sara as a beautiful and irresistible princess that Bongbong will simply fall for her.

Trusting Gloria, Sara made a series impulsive and irrevocable decisions: first, by withdrawing her candidacy as mayor of Davao City.

Gloria the kingmaker was holding court in Balesin Island, calling the shots (or so she thought) while stretched on a long chair and sipping buko from a coconut husk.

Alas, Bongbong Marcos was not enamored of Gloria's idea. He didn't come to Balesin Island when summoned, only to be played. He didn't want to play as the lesser partner of Sara in a marriage of convenience - the one willing to be bought off with a substantial dowry.

Matchmaker Gloria was shocked out of her delusions and started pacing the sand, realizing that she now had a big problem in her hands: if Bongbong didn't want to run under the skirt of Sara, where will it leave Sara who had already committed to the arrangement: she gave up Davao City for the promise of the whole of the Philippines?

They now had to resort to damage control.

At this point, they could have salvaged the situation by confessing their mistake to Duterte and asking him to use all his powers to undo the damage.

But they were now on a slippery slope that they could not crawl out of clutching at straws.

They committed mistake after mistake: next deciding they should succumb to Bongbong's conditions by agreeing to play second fiddle - i.e., Sara running as Bongbong's vice president in a reversal of roles. And accordingly Sara filed her CoC to the effect, whereupon Bongbong announced Sara to the public as his trophy wife.

When news reached the Palace, all hell broke loose. Duterte felt betrayed by his own daughter, and it takes a lot to stir him to action on a weekend. If he tolerated her shenanigans before, kicking out his own people from City Hall and two Speakers in a row in the House, no way would he have her cede his kingdom to the Marcoses, thereby losing "my police," "my army," "my government". Bongbong was his ally but no means successor.

Could he trust Bongbong to defend the family against all enemies, starting with the ICC? Of course not.

Within the hour of the shocking news on a Saturday afternoon, Duterte and his alter ego and Palace eunuch Bong Go were on their way to the Comelec to counter their move - i.e., having Bong Go run for president in Sara's stead.

Duterte took Sara's act as a betrayal and he virtually repudiated her as a daughter by announcing that he would run against her for the vice presidency.

What will happen now to Gloria Arroyo who is responsible for this mess? One, she has until Monday to undo all these missteps, to wit: ask Sara again to withdraw her candidacy for vice president, then run for president or mayor, as the case may be.Two, do nothing realizing that she could not unspill all that buko juice in the sand.

Duterte and Bong Go are convinced that only they can save the Philippines, the province of Davao City, from falling into the hands of the Marcoses, and with it "my police," "my military," "my kingdom come" on Earth as in heaven.

They have crossed the Rubicon in filing their CoCs and in a sense its water is thicker than blood as there is no turning back.

They can no longer trust Sara to fight the family's battle as she has come thoroughly under the spell of Gloria.

Duterte will use his brute methods by seeing to it that Bongbong gets disqualified and they win by all means fair and foul, pulling strings with the Comelec, then the Supreme Court.

Victory is by no means guaranteed - it could go to a third party, Leni Robredo instead.

Gloria must be having sleepless nights after bungling what she thought as a masterstroke. She sold Sara to an uncertain fate, pitting her against her own father. She should consider dusting off her neck brace and wheelchair.

Sara is damaged goods. She must give up all the airs as the anointed one in favor of Bong Go, who is as much family as far as Duterte is concerned.

She has ruined all chances of getting elected either as president, vice president or mayor, for that matter.

It is all the fault of Gloria Arroyo, who sold her off to the Marcoses - and set off the Philippine version of the Trojan war."

Duterte claims Marcos Jr. 'decided' for Sara to run for VP | GMA News Online

Won't support Marcos, Pacquiao

At one point in his interview, Duterte shared that he would never support Marcos Jr. and even accused the latter as a supporter of communist rebels.

"Sa kampanya, sasabihin ko kung bakit hindi ako puwedeng magsuporta kay Marcos... Ni minsan wala kayong narinig na mag-Marcos ako," Duterte told the blogger.

(During our campaign, I will tell you why I can't support Marcos... You will never hear that I supported Marcos.)
