Congress proclaims Marcos, Duterte in record time
President-elect Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Vice President-elect Sara Duterte are proclaimed on Wednesday, May 25, after only two days of canvassing
MANILA, Philippines – The Philippine Congress proclaimed Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Sara Duterte president-elect and vice-president elect, respectively, on Wednesday, May 25, in record pace of only two days of canvassing.
Congress, convened as the National Board of Canvassers (NBOC), started canvassing votes on Tuesday, May 24, and was done by 3:33 pm Wednesday, taking only around 15 hours over two days. In 2016, the House of Representatives and the Senate took three days to complete canvassing for outgoing President Rodrigo Duterte and outgoing Vice President Leni Robredo, which was at the time the quickest in election history.
