These presidential aspirants will be accompanied by their respective running-mates.
Other presidential aspirants namely Norberto Gonzales and Faisal Mangondato have yet to announce details about their proclamation rallies.
Apart from presidential and vice presidential hopefuls, aspirants who are seeking Senate seats are also allowed to start their respective campaigns.
The campaign period for local candidates, on the other hand, starts a month later on March 9, 2022.
On the eve of the start of campaign period, Jimenez reminded public of the poll body’s resolution which imposes limitations to in-person campaigning due to the threat of COVID-19.
Under Section 14 of Comelec Resolution 10372, activities strictly prohibited during in-person campaigns in all Alert Level category levels includes handshakes, hugs, kisses, going arm-in-arm in any action that involves physical contact among the candidate, their companions , and the public; taking selfies, photographs and other similar activities that require close proximity between the candidate and their companions, and the public; distribution of food and drink, and all other goods or items; entering any private dwelling during house-to-house campaigning, even with express permission of homeowner; and crowding, or allowing crowds violate minimum public health standards (MPHS) around the candidate and his or her companions.
The first three activities listed under Section 14 are also prohibited during miting de avance.
The Comelec Resolution also imposed restrictions on motorcades since only candidates, campaign leaders, and supporters belonging to the same household would be allowed to be in the same vehicle.
Likewise, motorcades in areas under Alert Levels 1 to 4 should not have stopovers, layovers, and other similar stoppages for the conduct of other election campaign activities.
Prohibited during conduct of motorcades includes handshakes, hugs, kisses, going arm-in-arm, or any action that involves physical contact among the candidate, their companions; public taking selfies, photographs and other similar activities that require close proximity between the candidate and their companions, and the public; and distribution of food and drink, and all other goods or items.
In another tweet, Jimenez also reminded public of “e-rallies” which poll body organized to reach those who stay inside their residences as COVID-19 pandemic remains a threat to the public.
The Campaign S.A.F.E Comelec e-Rally Channel on Facebook grants online airtime to candidates for President, Vice President, Senator and party-list groups ranging from three to 10 minutes.
Each candidate for president and vice president will have 10-minute airtime for each of three slots in a day, while Senate bets will have three minutes for each of five slots in a day.

The meeting was also attended by representatives of the Department of Health (DOH) and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).
For Eleksyon 2022, Comelec said even violations against COVID-19 safety protocols will be classified as election offenses.
