Nancy Binay to Comelec: “Do you really have to give special preference to the PDP-Cusi Wing?”
NANCY BINAY – The incumbent senator lambasted the Commission on Elections (Comelec) for special treatment to PDP-Laban.

Rodante Marcoleta, broadcaster Rey Langit, and actor Robin Padilla.
Right after the filing of their COCs, Senator Nancy Binay took to the micro-blogging site, Twitter wherein she expressed her disappointment to Comelec over “special treatment” to the ruling party.

Her post immediately earned mixed reactions from the netizens.
According to Binay, almost all Comelec protocols were allegedly violated by PDP-Laban candidates such as the three-person limit rule, physical distancing, and health clearance requirement.
Meanwhile, it was on Friday, October 8, when Comelec held the last day for filing of COC.
At the last minute, of COC filing, Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa filed his candidacy as the standard-bearer of PDP-Laban.
