May 10 - Count Me In


The hubby and I decided to go to the polling precinct in the morning. Just in case magulo, at least, we're ahead and most probably makakaboto kahit papaano.

We got there around 9 AM. Asked around for the procedure. Pumila lang kami kay Des (yung super active Lady of the Altar), she gave us a number. Tapos pumila kami uli sa katabi n'ya to get another number. One-person long lang naman ang lines, so no problem.

Then we looked for precinct 139. Unlike the others, this one didn't have much of a line. Again, one-person long lang siya. We got our ballots, filled them out, fed them to the PCos machine, put indelible ink on our finger and our thumbmark sa record. And that's it! Took us only around 15 minutes.

Tinanong ko one of those in charge of precinct 139 bakit walang pila sa amin? Sabi n'ya, kasi nag-coordinate nang mabuti yung Comelec and PPCRV namin. Actually, well-organized talaga sila kasi around 2 weeks before election, nagdoor to door pa sila to distribute sample ballots with a note kung anong precinct number mo.

Posible naman pala e. Sana yung people behind precinct 139 ang maging Comelec commissioners next election.
