IATF allows persons aged 65 and older to personally file COC from Oct. 1 to 8

By Prince Golez

The national government has allowed people aged 65 years and older to leave their homes in October so they can file their candidacy for the 2022 elections.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said these individuals will be considered authorized persons outside residence (APORs) during the eight-day filing of certificates of candidacy from October 1 to 8.

APORs refer to individuals who are allowed to leave their households either to access essential goods and services or to report physically to their workplace.

“The (Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases) allowed persons over the age of 65 to go out of their residences to personally file their certificates of candidacy (COCs) in the national office and designated field offices of the Commission on Elections,” Roque said in a statement Friday.

“The abovementioned persons shall be recognized as Authorized Persons Outside of Residence from October 1 to 8, 2021, regardless of community quarantine classification and vaccination status,” he added.
