The filing of CoCs will continue until September 2, 2023. The voters in EMBO barangays no longer need to transfer their voting to Taguig as they will automatically be moved to Taguig following the Supreme Court decision that Parcels 3 and 4 of Fort Bonifacio Military Reservation are owned by Taguig City and not Makati City.
