Comelec to conduct Las Piñas special polls

A special election will be held in Las Piñas City to fill up the congressional post that will be vacated soon by Rep. Mark Villar, the incoming secretary of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) of the Duterte administration.

“Yes, there will be a special election [in Las Piñas City],” Commissioner Rowena Guanzon told reporters at the sidelines of the just concluded Comelec canvassing for the senatorial and party-list votes at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) in Pasay City.
