May 13 is Election Day

It's Election time once again and please remember that liquor ban and gun ban are currently being implemented all over the Philippines. Let us all exercise our right to vote. Remember that not all citizens of the world have a chance to choose their own leaders and we, Filipinos, are given the right to vote so let's all exercise our right to suffrage.

The synchronized national and local elections for May 13, 2013 require us to vote for 12 senators, one governor and one vice governor, one mayor and one vice mayor, one congressman, a specific number of councilors for each district depending on the number of population for that specific district, and we also need to vote one party-list.

This is the second time that the PCOS machine will be used for the Philippine elections. PCOS stands for Precinct Count Optical Scan. Remember not to waste your ballot by carefully shading the oval corresponding to your chosen candidate. Do not shade more than the required number of votes. Otherwise, your whole ballot will be wasted.

Precincts will be open from 7AM to 7PM. Let's all vote this May 13!
