With the COCs from Baguio and Navotas, a total of eight areas have sent their results.
The Comelec is still awaiting about 301 COCs from various parts of the country.
The poll body said that it aims to proclaim all 12 Senators by Wednesday evening, 48 hours after the voting period ended Monday night.
