Comelec Chairman George Garcia yesterday said that the commission has so far approved the certificate of candidacy of 66 senatorial aspirants and declared 117 as nuisance.
He stressed that the Comelec does not declare an aspirant nuisance just because they are unknown, independent or lacking in financial resources.
In declaring a candidate nuisance, he said, the Comelec assesses whether the aspirant has no bona fide intention to run for public office and just making a mockery of the electoral process.
He said many of the 183 who filed their COC for senator are not serious in running for public office and appeared to just want to get the so-called 15 minutes of fame.

ALL OF BLUE
Color is the primary language of painting, the essential spirit of the medium. Minimalist artists have long considered this gospel truth: strip a painting to its core, and what remains is color.

Among the spectrum of hues, blue holds a particularly captivating allure—a color steeped in history, rarity, and meaning.
