Last three winning senators likely to be proclaimed today
05/17/2010 The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is looking at the possibility of proclaiming the last three winning senatorial candi-dates today, a week after the May 10 elections. Comelec spokesman James Jimenez said if they would get substantial votes, they might proclaim the three new senators that would complete the Top 12. “We expect them to be proclaimed on Monday (May 17) considering that there will be no proclamations Sunday but we will continue receiving transmission results from the field... so, hopefully we can get enough numbers to proclaim senators-elect,” he added. There are still around three million uncanvassed votes that will decide the last three slots. Based on the last updated tally (11 a.m., May 15), the candidates who occupied the last three slots were former Sen. Sergio Osmeña III with 10,996,061 votes; incumbent Sen. Lito Lapid with 10,327,121 votes,and Rep. Teofisto Guingona III with 9,686,352 votes. Rep. Risa Hontiveros is currently at 13th spot with 8,581,125 votes followed by Rep. Ruffy Biazon with 8,148,685 votes; and Joey de Venecia with 7,867,883 votes.... MORE Source: The Daily Tribune URL: http://www.tribuneonline.org/headlines/20100517hed4.html |
