Filing for the mid-term 2013 elections have come and gone and Comelec has compiled a list of 84 people currently running for a senate seat. 12 senate seats would be "up for grabs" in this upcoming election and only 12 of those 84 people will have their chance on being called a Senator.
In the list, almost 30-50 people are currently in government(house, local government official or government employee), spouses or relatives of popular politicians and those that are former senators.
