Chef Boy Logro files CONA as Ang Kusinerong Pinoy nominee for party-list seat

Filipino celebrity chef Boy Logro's party-list, Aangat Kusinerong Pinoy filed on Monday a certificate of nomination and acceptance (CONA) for Eleksyon 2022.

Logro, host of GMA's cooking show "Idol sa Kusina," filed the party-list's CONA on the fourth day of Commission on Elections' (Comelec) certificate of candidacy filing at the Harbor Garden Tent inside the Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila in Pasay City.

After filing the CONA, Logro said he wanted to leave a legacy for aspiring chefs. He also wants to give free education.

"Ang aking pagtakbo ay isang advocacy, isang legacy na gusto kong iwanan sa ating nangangarap na maging chef din... Yours truly, ako po magbibigay ng libreng pag-aaral sa mga tao," Logro, who is the last to file the COC this Monday, explained during his speech at the tent.

[Running for elected post is my advocacy, a legacy for aspirant chefs. I will also fund free education.]

Since the Comelec started its COC filing on Oct. 1, 20 people filed COCs for president, seven for vice president, and 39 for senators. Meanwhile, 48 party-lists also filed their COC. -Consuelo Marquez/NB, GMA News
