Subject filed for certificates of candidacies Commission on Elections for Philippines President. Although there are reputable source from CNN, New Strait Time, but the articles mentioned Allan Carreon only in passing as one of nuisance candidates, calling himself "Intergalactic Earth Ambassador" where he claimed he was encouraged to run the position by aliens from the Facebook group.
Delete the coverage all basically approaches this as a slow news day coverage of the bizarre, not the stuff we make Wikipedia articles out of.

Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in elections they didn't win — if he doesn't already have a strong claim of preexisting notability for other reasons that would already have gotten him an article anyway, then he has to win the election, not just run in it, to become notable as a politician. While it's true that his candidacy got a blip of media coverage during the campaign, so did everybody else's candidacy — so that just makes him a
WP:BLP1E, not a person who has passed the
ten-year test for enduring significance yet.
