Retired soldier Ariel Querubin files his certificate of candidacy for senator. This is his second attempt to join the upper chamber, after a failed bid in 2010. He is running under the banner of Nacionalista Party, but is not part of the admin coalition.

"Hindi natin kayang nakaupo, nanonood na lang tayo, habang paulit-ulit nila tayong inaapi sa West Philippine Sea. Protektahan natin ito at ipaglaban," says Querubin. #PHVote #AmbagNatin #BeTheChange
