PNP ordered: Prepare for influx of candidates beating COC deadlineA granular lockdown has been enforced in Barangay 123 in Caloocan City starting Friday(September 17, 2021) night due to a surge in COVID-19 cases in the area. "We are in the sixth day of filing of COCs and CONAs so we expect an influx of candidates to catch up with the October 8 deadline," Police Gen. Guillermo Eleazar said in a statement sent to reporters Wednesday. Eleazar called on the candidates themselves to take the lead in preventing the filing of their COCs and CONAs into a super spreader event. The number of supporters you bring with you to file COCs is not a measure of your winning. Eleazar said that the filing of COCs and CONAs has generally been peaceful and orderly so far but urged police forces to "remain alert for any eventuality."
