MANILA — Thousands of Filipino voters waited in the long queue and stayed in the voting precinct for hours and even a day, just to cast their votes amid the several anomalies they encountered in the last May 9 national elections.
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) on the same day, said that these technical anomalies were just “minor issues” of the elections. However, the Comelec refused to heed the call of the voters to extend the voting hours, prompting the people to stay in the precinct beyond the 7 p.m. deadline just to cast their votes.
