Partylist groups Kabataan, Suara Bangsamoro, Anakpawis, Gabriela and Bayan Muna today filed charges of "electoral sabotage" against the provincial canvassers of Zamboanga Sibugay over the alleged padding of votes in favor of pro-administration partylist groups Uni-Mad and Coop-Natco.
Candidates for the Genuine Opposition dominated the senatorial elections in Davao City, with seven of them ending up in the top 12.

Prospero Nograles worked in ensuring that the Kalahi partylist, of which his son Karlo is the second nominee, take the top spot.
