Lilibeth
D. Ustare, Election Officer II,
However,
Ustare said, she is not taking any chance, that is why they have brought with
them an extra VCM should the lone machine assigned to the municipality suffer
some technical difficulties on election day, taking note the location of the municipality.
It is her
first time on Pag-asa Island as she used to be the election officer of
Cagayancillo town, which is the nearest settlement to the famous diving spot - Tubbataha National Marine
Park.
The
VCM has been inspected and tested by the
election board. After the successful test the VCM was sealed, to be opened for
Monday’s elections. And just like any other precinct in the Philippines, voting
in the municipality of Kalayaan will start at 6 a.m. and ends at 6 p.m.
On
Monday, residents of Pag Asa will elect the provincial governor, vice governor,
provincial board members, and district representative; the town mayor, vice
mayor, and members of the municipal council of Kalayaan; and national
candidates for senators and party-list groups.
