Cong. Rodante Marcoleta Ranks 6th in 2025 Elections Partial, Unofficial Count
RODANTE MARCOLETA – The Senatorial candidate called on the COMELEC for an early proclamation of the Top 6 bets based on the unofficial count.
The children of former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte campaigned fervently for the bets of the PDP-Laban, the political party of FPRRD. The former Chief Executive is the chairman of the party. However, he is currently detained in The Hague, Netherlands where he is faced with an alleged crime against humanity before the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The children of former Pres. Duterte committed to campaign for the PDP-Laban bets or the #Duter10. Vice Pres. Sara Duterte joined several local campaign sorties to endorse the #Duter10 as well as the senatorial bid of Senator Imee Marcos and Las Piñas district Representative Camille Villar. Kitty Duterte also stepped in to help in campaigning for their father’s senatorial bets.
Two (2) senatorial bets of the PDP-Laban are seeking reelection in the 2025 Midterm Elections. Here are the senatorial candidates who belong to the #Duter10:
- Sen. Christopher “Bong” Go
- Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa
- Congressman Rodante Marcoleta
- singer Jimmy Bondoc
- Jayvee Hinlo
- Raul Lambino
- actor Philip Salvador
- Atty. Victor Rodriguez
- Pastor Apollo Quiboloy
- Doc Marites Mata
The PDP-Laban has also adopted Sen. Imee Marcos and Las Piñas district Rep. Camille Villar. Based on the partial and unofficial counting of votes, five (5) bets of the PDP-Laban are poised to win in the senatorial elections — Go, Dela Rosa, Marcoleta, Villar, and Marcos.
Recently, amid the ongoing counting of votes for the 2025 Senatorial Elections, Congressman Rodante Marcoleta called for an early proclamation of the Top 6 candidates in the unofficial count. He ranked 6th in the partial and unofficial tally which is as follows:
- Go, Christopher ‘Bong”
- Aquino, Bam
- Dela Rosa, Ronald “Bato”
- Tulfo, Erwin
- Pangilinan, Kiko
- Marcoleta, Rodante
- Lacson, Ping
- Sotto, Tito
- Cayetano, Pia
- Villar, Camille
- Lapid, Lito
- Marcos, Imee
Based on a report on GMA News, Cong. Rodante Marcoleta filed a motion before the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) seeking for early proclamation of the Top 6 senatorial candidates. He stressed that more than 97% of the election returns have been transmitted.
“As of writing, 97.23% of election returns have already been transmitted, with herein movant, senatorial dandidate Rodante “Dante” Marcoleta, currently ranking 6th in the senatorial race, having garnered a total of 14,895,858 votes,” Marcoleta said.
Based on the report, Cong. Rodante Marcoleta also claimed in his petition that there is allegedly a statistical improbability that the 7th to 12th senatorial candidates will no longer affect the standing of the 1st to 6th senatorial candidates.
“Hence, may we respectfully pray that, should this Honorable Commission determine that it is statistically improbable for the rankings of the leading senatorial candidates to be altered based on the official canvass returns, it should consider allowing the early proclamation of the top-ranking Senators whose positions can no longer be reasonably contested,” he said.
Following five (5) candidate-allies of the Duterte poised to win the senatorial race, Vice Pres. Sara Duterte is disappointed over the results of the 2025 Elections. She called on the Filipinos to help make a powerful opposition.
