The Team Asenso Bacolod candidates led by Bacolod Mayor Alfredo Abelardo Benitez will file their certificates of candidacy on Tuesday, Oct. 8.
Benitez has yet to announce the position he is running for and the candidates on his lineup.
However, it is likely that Benitez will run for congressman and Rep. Greg Gasataya will run for mayor, a source said.
The presentation of the Team Asenso candidates will be made after they file their COCs Tuesday morning, the mayor’s spokesman Caesar Distrito said.
The Team Asenso bets will attend a mass at the San Sebastián Cathedral at 8 a.m., meet with supporters at the Bacolod Public Plaza and file their COCs, he said.
“The line up is almost complete except for the last one for councilor. Mayor Albee will be finalizing it today”, Distrito said on Monday.
“All those being considered are winnable and competent, thus he wants to have another day to decide”, Distrito added.*
