Seven to eight members of the Duterte administration might run for the coming 2019 elections, Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar said Thursday. Let’s see if it reaches that number on the last day of the filing of CoCs (Certificate of Candidacies),” Andanar told INQUIRER.net in a text message. On Tuesday, Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque said six Duterte men might run in next year’s midterm elections. “Not just three, from my last count there will be around six (Cabinet members) who might file their Certificate of Candidacies for national and local positions,” he said. Roque, who has been known to be eyeing a Senate seat, also said that he had yet to decide whether or not to run in the coming elections.
