The Komunidad ng Pamilya, Pasyente at Persons with Disabilities or P3PWD Party List has submitted a new set of nominees to the Commission on Elections (Comelec) on Tuesday, June 14.
Based on the information provided by the poll body, former Comelec Commissioner Rowena Guanzon is the new first nominee of the group.
"It filed a notarized Certificate of Nomination of P3PWD signed by Secretary General Donnabel C. Tenorio, listing as its new nominees in the following order the following: Ma. Rowena Amelia V. Guanzon, Rosalie J. Garcia, Cherrie B. Belmonte-Lim, Donnabel C. Tenorio, and Rodolfo B. Villar Jr.," Comelec Acting Spokesperson John Rex Laudiangco said in a statement.
He said the group also filed before the Comelec Law Department the notarized resignation letters of its previous nominees Grace S. Yeneza, Ira Paulo A. Pozon, Marianne Heidi C. Fullon, Peter Jonas R. David, and Lily Grace A. Tiangco.
Laudiangco said the matter is "subject to the deliberation of the Commission en banc."
In Resolution No. 10717, the Comelec said the withdrawal of nominations and substitution of nominees due to the withdrawal must be filed with the Law Department not later than November 15, 2021.
It added that no substitution shall be deemed valid if filed beyond November 15, 2021, unless the list of nominees originally submitted has been exhausted due to death and/or incapacity of the nominees.
P3PWD won one of the 63 party-list seats in the House of Representatives in the last May 9 polls.
