Color of Politics: Baguio - Benguet Election Day
Politics in Baguio and Benguet is probably one of the most peaceful for the reason that there are no violence reported. In spite of some threats and vote buying reports, no political related killing was committed.
Here is a series of photos taken during the election day in Baguio and Benguet.
Throughout the City and the province, posters and streamers are abundant.
There are posters located inside the 50-meter required distance from voting precincts set by Comelec like this one in Irisan located just at the entrance of the school.
Searching for name takes several minutes and several hours to fall in line to cast your votes.
The Irisan school went the extra mile by computerizing the names of voters to make it easier for them to find their names.
Some can't vote because they are registered as Overseas Absentee Voters.
It may take a while to fill up your balota specially if you haven't listed the people you want to vote.
Some voters arrived at the last minute because they hate to the long lines.
After the voting comes the counting watched closely by voters and supporters of politicians.
Some foreign observers joined the watch team to witness how democracy is unfolding in the country.
Community leaders sign the results of the counting when no questions or problems arise.
Only one machine malfunctioned in Baguio caused by defective CF card. Another problem was the ballots mistakenly shipped to Compostela Valley supposedly intended to Barangay Lualhati in Baguio City.
The defective machine from Upper Kayang Barangay was brought to Convention Center where it waited for recounting.
In spite of the two precincts not counted, Comelec declared that the votes will not change the results of the winners and declared the City's next leaders on May 14, a day after election.

Kwentong Party List
Challenge: Make a story using names of party lists. Let me try.
Ang aking AMA, SANLAKAS ng mga BAYANI, umutang sa ATING COOP ng BINHI at ABONO, at sa tulong ng ARARO, AANI ng BUTIL.
Ang ADING ko si ADAM, ay isa sa ATING GURO na may 1 ABILIDAD. Sa mga KABATAAN, ARAL at ABAKADA tinuturo nya, gustong magsilbi sa BAYAN MUNA. Ngunit ALAY BUHAY, aking kapatid ni walang KAAKBAY. Kaya kapatid ko, A TEACHER, sa OFW FAMILY sya na ANGKLA.
AKO si GABRIELA, ANAKPAWIS na NARS , taga punas ng pwet ng SENIOR CITIZENS. Ang inyong ABANG LINGKOD, ang nais ay AANGAT TAYO. Ngunit dahil BUHAY di AABANTE sa AMIN, sa ABROAD MIGRANTE na. Ang tanging KASANGGA ay ang ALYANSA NG OFW.
Buti pa si ADA, ANG LADLAD na ALAGAD, ANG MINERO ang KAKUSA, ANG PAMILYA nya AASENSO.
Click here for the complete list of the approved party lists.
(I don't intend to discredit any party list, just want to show life's realities in the country that could have been the reason why these party lists were created in the first place.)
