Retired Philippine National Police Guillermo Eleazar has filed his certificate of candidacy for senator on Monday, November 15.
Eleazar is running under the Lacson-Sotto’s Partido Reporma, substituting for Paolo Capino.
Capino withdrew his candidacy last weekend saying he has slim chances at winning a senate seat.
Eleazar recently retired from his post at 56 years old. He was the country’s top cop in the last 6 months.
Should Eleazar win a senate seat, he will be the second former PNP chief in the current congress alongside senator Ronald Bato Dela Rosa.
