Former Iloilo City Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog remains eligible to file a certificate of candidacy (CoC) for the 2025 midterm elections despite his pending voter registration reactivation.
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) official Jonathan Sayno confirmed that Mabilog’s voter registration reactivation will be reviewed by the Election Registration Board (ERB) on October 14.
Mabilog can still submit his CoC between October 1 and 8, even if his registration is not yet reactivated.
The ERB’s decision on his registration may be challenged in court, with any appeal needing to be resolved before the election day.
Sayno assured that Mabilog’s residency in Iloilo City remains valid, despite his years of self-imposed exile in the United States.
