Winning senators will be proclaimed by Thursday evening, May 16, by the National Board of Canvassers, Comelec Chair Sixto Brillantes Jr said. In a press conference, he announced that up to 6 senators will be declared winners. Earlier, the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) filed a motion to suspend the proclamation, citing the slow transmission of election results. The poll body unanimously rejected UNA’s request. Brillantes also said media groups and watchdogs will temporarily stop directly receiving transmission results via the Transparency Server to avoid confusion while the proclamation is ongoing. The Comelec, sitting as the national board of canvassers, will proclaim the senators after having canvassed over 20% of certificates of canvass.
