Liloan Mayor Christina Garcia-Frasco, spokesperson of presumptive Vice President Sara Duterte-Carpio, said Duterte-Carpio is hopeful for a smooth canvassing of the votes for the top two elective posts.
“Like the rest of the nation, she is hopeful that the canvassing by the House of Representatives and the Senate will go smoothly,” Frasco said in a statement.
The canvassing of the votes for President and Vice President is ongoing after the members of the Senate and the House of Representatives convened on Monday as the National Board of Canvassers (NBoC) at the Batasan complex in Quezon City.
Frasco said Duterte-Carpio will be represented by the legal team from her Party, Lakas-CMD, during the canvassing.
Under the 1987 Constitution, both chambers of Congress will release the official vote count in a joint public session and proclaim the winners of the presidential and vice-presidential elections.
NBoC members were reported eyeing the proclamation of the new president and vice president by Friday.
Meanwhile, Duterte-Carpio’s oath-taking ceremony will be held in San Pedro Street, Davao City on June 19, 2022 and is open to the public.
Duterte-Carpio did not give details of the activity including the invitation for guests.
