Meanwhile, the second woman presidential aspirant who has filed her CoC so far wants to establish an “absolute monarchy” in the country.

Marita Arilla said that if she becomes the country’s next chief executive, she will abolish legislation as the mandate to lead the country will come from God.

“It [mandate to serve] will be from Him to me and to you,” she said.
