“I will be here until
8 in the evening”
This is what
Malay Commission on Elections Officer II Elma Cahilig smilingly said, amid the
long lines of people outside her office.
This is during
the first day of registration for the Baranggay and SK Elections on Monday.
According to
Cahilig, aside from those who are standing in line for transfer of registration,
there are also many registrants for the Youth Council.
Although
describing the situation as “ok,” Cahilig is still reminding those who will
register to bring with them the necessary documents such as Valid IDs,
certificate of Live Birth, and Baptismal Certificate.
This is after some
of the registrants failed to present the mentioned requirements.
The Comelec Office
was suppose to close at 5 in the afternoon, Cahilig however decided to finish
the registration at 8 p.m.
Nonetheless, the
Election Officer optimistically said that they only have 9 more days to go.
The registration
for Baranggay and SK Elections kicked off yesterday and will end on July 31st.
