MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Elections has granted the request of the Office of the Vice President to allow it to resume a number of its projects under its COVID-19 pandemic response initiative as Vice President Leni Robredo continues her presidential campaign.

 

This was confirmed by Comelec Commissioner George Garcia in a Viber message to reporters. The Comelec en banc, he said, granted the petition for exception of the OVP of certain projects and programs during the 45-day period of the campaign.

 

"We thank the Comelec en banc for their action on the OVP's request," lawyer Barry Guttierez, Robredo's spokesperson, said in a statement when sought for a reaction.
