List: Certified senatorial candidates for 2019 elections

MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Elections last week released the certified list of candidates for senators in the upcoming May elections.

The poll body said there are 62 official senatorial candidates for the elections on May 13, 2019.

It initially certified 63 candidates. However, former Malacañang spokesperson Harry Roque withdrew his senatorial bid last February 1 citing his health condition.

The certified list was signed by administering officer Maria Norina Tangaro-Casingal.

Comelec spokesman James Jimenez said senatorial candidates could still drop out from the race as the campaign period for the national positions officially starts on February 12.
