Meanwhile, Commission on Elections (COMELEC) spokesperson lawyer John Rex Laudiangco mentioned that for local candidates it might get the results one or two days after the election day and for national candidates after five days to one week. Also added that there’s no reason to hamper the proclamation unless some areas will have problems with their canvassing
“For the local positions, best case scenario tomorrow for the ones who are able to finish counting and canvassing their ERs (election receipts)—that’s the best-case scenario. The second-best case scenario would be Wednesday,” Laudiangco said in a press conference at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) in Pasay City.
“But given that there are no untoward reports now, the best-case scenario is tomorrow, next best-case scenario is on Wednesday,” he added.
“That’s the most ideal and that’ our best expectation, in a week’s time, the results of the election will be clear enough for all of us to know who the real winners are,” he said.
