Comelec still allowing substitution of bets who died or were disqualified

THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) has said that substitution of candidates will be allowed to continue until it is done but only those belonging to a political party or coalition who either died or were disqualified by final judgment.

But Comelec spokesman Jamens Jimenez clarified that the substitution can only be consummated if the substitute candidate and the substituted candidate have the same surname.
