Later, however, Comelec spokesperson John Rex Laudiangco said: “Due to the suspension of Government Work on account of inclement weather, the Filing (and reception) of Certificates of Candidacy in the National Capital Region, and the Provinces of Abra and Ilocos Norte, is extended until 5:00 p.m. of September 3, 2023, Sunday.”

This announcement came immediately after Comelec suspended all of its operations in Metro Manila as heavy rains persisted in the region due to a typhoon-enhanced southwest monsoon, locally termed habagat.
