10 SENATORIAL WINNERS FINALIZED TODAY, KNOWN MONDAY

The Commission on Elections is expected to announce today the partial proclamation of winning senatorial candidates. The Comelec, acting as a National Board of Canvassers, will determine who could be included in the partial proclamation and who will be excluded based on the ground that the candidates' final standings could be affected by the results of special elections in 700 precincts in Mindanao and Bicol.


Top ten senatorial bets, whose lead over the candidates outside the Magic 12 is more than 250,000 votes, are no longer expected to be affected by the results of the May 30 special polls in Lanao del Sur, Lanao del Norte, Maguindanao, Davao del Sur, Sorsogon and Camarines Sur.


Those whose standings could be overtaken by other candidates will be excluded from the partial proclamation.


An announcement of the proclaimed winners will be made Monday.


Comelec Commissioners Amado Calderon and Evalyn Fetalino said the top 10 senatorial bets could, in all probability, not be affected by the results of special elections, and are likely to be included in the partial proclamation.


They said that placing 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th in the present canvassing will likely be affected, and could figure in a hot contest for the remaining two senatorial winning slots.


The latest Comelec canvass lists the following in the top 10: Legarda, Cayetano, Sotto, Pimentel, Barbers, Osmena, Ople, Biazon, Revilla, and Jaworski.


From 11th to 16th places are the following: Guingona, Aquino-Oreta, Torres, Pagdanganan, Lagman and Rasul.
