RAIN didn’t stop candidates and supporters in filing their certificates of candidacies for the #BotoNgKabataan2025.

They contradicted the gloomy weather and came in with a festive atmosphere.

A festive atmosphere

It’s only seven in the morning, Tuesday when the supporters of the senatorial candidates swarm the road of Quirino. The door of the Manila Hotel is still not open yet the street of Quirino is already as lively as the one you’ll notice in festivals.  

The supporters of the Senatorial Aspirant Agri Partylist representative Wilbert Lee were the first ones to be loud using the drums. Through every beat of the drum, the shouting outside of the supporters got louder and louder.  

Meanwhile, the Makabayan Partylist supporters have their own way of supporting their candidates. Aside from playing with the drums, they’ve also come out with their parade.  

Aside from drums and parades, other party lists had also conducted a program outside the Manila Hotel.   

In the area of the Quirino Road and Manila Hotel, it wasn’t just the supporters who were loud in the candidacy as the candidates also came to make a noise. A lot of citizens had filed their candidacy including an old man who filed his COC alone and a vlogger who’s also running as a senator. 

Despite the swarm of supporters outside the Manila Hotel, the Philippine National Police ensured that the security and safety of the people would be organized and that they would not throw the supporters outside. 

A total of 124 police have been deployed out the Manila.
