Lady Netizen to Filipino Voters: “PLS DO NOT LEAVE YOUR BALLOTS GUYS AND REPORT IT IMMEDIATELY”
A lady netizen has urged her fellow Filipino voters not to leave their ballots and asked them to become more vigilant.
A Facebook user named Cera Yabut has shared several photos of Tweets wherein some vote-counting machines suffered glitches. The post immediately circulates online and garnered various reactions from the netizens.
Yabut posted that she was about to leave and cast their votes when she saw the tweets on Twitter about the problems of some vote-counting machines in various provinces in the country.
The concerned netizen urged the Filipino people not to leave their ballots and report any suspicious activities. She also told the public to be more vigilant and protect their votes.
Here is the full post:
“WAS JUST ABOUT TO LEAVE AND CAST OUR VOTES AT SAUYO ELEM SCHOOL AND SAW THESE TWEETS!!!!!!!!!! AND APPARENTLY MOST SCHOOLS DIN PALA? BAKIT PO GANITO Comelec??????????
PLS DO NOT LEAVE YOUR BALLOTS GUYS AND REPORT IT IMMEDIATELY Bantayan natin ang mga boto natin. PLEASE REMAIN VIGILANT.”
According to the rules of the Commission on Elections (Comelec), voters can wait for the VCM malfunction to be resolved before inserting the ballot into the machine. Voters can also surrender the ballot to the electoral board.
However, former Commission on Elections Commissioner Luie Guia said that voters should sign a waiver of their right to be issued a voter’s receipt.
“Ang eksaktong protocol d’yan ay tatanungin ang botante kung gusto nilang iwan yung balota, mag-waiver din sila na ‘yung electoral board ang magpapasok at ‘di nila makikita yung resibo. O kaya maghintay sila until maayos ang problema,” Guia said.
