The national and local elections in our country Philippines were just over. The people had already elected their best bet, especially in the presidential candidates. More than 54 million Filipino voters had exercised their right to vote and they had made for the “tough talking” Mayor of Davao City to elect him as the new President of the country.
The conduct of the elections was generally peaceful, clean and orderly. There were less related election incidences. They were negligible according to the Philippine National Police of the country.
The most contested position in the land was the vice president post. It was the widow, Len Robredo and the Bongbong Marcos, the son of the later Ferdinand Marcos, the President of the Philippines. Robredo gathered a considerable margin of votes against Marcos who in return demanded the stoppage of the canvassing of votes.
By the way, there were 5 presidential hopefuls for this May 9 elections. Since its official counting of votes started right after the closing of the voting, million of million of votes were counted, transmitted by the Board of Election Inspectors manned by the teachers.
On the following day, May 10, Senator Grace Poe and DILG Secretary Mar Roxas had expressed their intent to concede with the president-elect Rody Duterte in a press conference they had called. While Vice President Jejomar Binay just hinted to supported the Duterte.
I have been the monitoring supervisor in our school. The conduct of the said electoral process was smooth and peaceful. I got three polling clustered precincts and the turn-out of those who voted was 90 per cent.

Election all over the world is the name dishonesty and nothing else. I do not believe in fair election all over the world and more than this in my own country election election winners are dishonest and corrupt people as we see in USA election Trump who were facing 3500 legal suits was elected by voters the president of USA how?
If you want to understand the dynamics of this election look away from the flutter of posters, from the noisy campaign trucks and their jaunty songs, and from a bewildering selection of smiling candidates contesting thousands of elected posts.
Look instead at the creaking infrastructure of Manila, the visible slums, the denuded mountainsides and scrappy farms.
The Philippines stands out - in a region that was once a byword for crippling poverty - for its failure to match its neighbours' partial success in reducing inequality.
Official statistics show that poverty has stayed at more or less the same level for the past decade, despite economic growth averaging 6%.
