Atty. Jeric Jucaban will file the partylist’s COC at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza in Pasay City, where the Commission on Elections had set up a tent for the filing due to the threat of COVID-19.

The partylist’s first two nominees are businessman James “Jojo” Ang Jr., and Raisa Maria Lourdes Treñas-Chu.
