The Comelec advised the winning organizations that they are entitled to send a maximum of two representatives per partylist during the ceremonies.
The ones attending the proclamation are also advised to wear Filipino clothing.
On Wednesday, May 25, the NBOC completed the canvassing of votes after the transmission of the Certificate of Canvass from Lanao del Sur.
Subsequently, the NBOC announced that winning partylist groups are set to be proclaimed Thursday afternoon.
The number and names of groups to be proclaimed, however, have yet to be identified by the Comelec, as of Wednesday night, May 25.
To note, a total of 63 partylist seats are expected to be filled up in the House of Representatives. (SunStar Philippines)
