Former Navy Col. Rey Lopez officially filed his certificate of candidacy (COC) on Tuesday for the special election in the 3rd district of Negros Oriental, making him the first and only bet so far to file his COC to replace expelled Rep. Arnie Teves.
Lopez, who was allied with the slain Gov. Roel Degamo, ran under the Nacionalista Party against Teves but lost during the 2022 elections. He was also a member of Philippine Military Academy Class 1992 and a former ROTC commandant of Silliman University.
Comelec, meanwhile, said it will stand by its new deadline for the filing of certificate of candidacy for the special elections to replace Teves in the House of Representatives. From the original schedule of Nov. 6-8, those interested to run are given more days after the schedule was extended until Nov. 11.
