Aside from fashion designing, Pardo said her experience included management of family properties and charity work at fast-food chain Jollibee G. Tuazon branch in Sampaloc.

But the former “fashion designer” refused to disclose her COC to the media and declined to answer questions.

“I won’t entertain questions right now,” Pardo said.

As of Oct. 14, 10:30 a.m., Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez said 44 people have filed COCs for president, 10 for vice president, and 44 for senator. Thirty-one party-list groups have also fielded their nominees.

The filing of COCs, now on its third day, will run until Friday, Oct. 16. The Comelec will release the official list of candidates on Dec. 10. IDL
