according to the petitioner, there are more than 2M voters who would be disenfranchised if the rule on "no bio, no vote" would proceed, but the comelec argued to the effect that the advantage of this policy (getting rid of flying voters and all) far outweighs it plus, if the case would drag on, we might not have elections in may 2016.
2M is still substantial. there are at least 50M registered voters eligible to vote in may according to the comelec.

Dunno...on one hand, everyone should be able to vote. On the other, if they're not serious about exercising that vote -- i.e. actually registering as a voter -- then they are in effect waiving that right.

The thing is, was it not that the COMELEC gave enough time for voters to fix their biometrics registration? More than a year before the deadline, I already received advise and then you also have the mall processing held. I know a lot who personally went out and did theirs because they are serious about their vote.

Gusto ata ng mga ugok, door-to-door/home service ang pag upload ng biometrics.

Tama lang yang ginawa ng SC na ituloy ang no bio, no boto. Ngayong bawas ang mga voters ng 2M, that I believe eh mga class D to E, eh paano nalang ang "masa votes" na kailangan ng mga pulitiko?

Also it looks like walang pulitiko ang nagrereact sa ruling na ito ngayon ah

It almost happened... dito sa barangay namin sa probinsya pumunta ang local comelec mismo para sa biometric registration.

See? That's how accommodating the COMELEC was in trying to get people to register. They really went down to the community level to get people to register. I received a written advise twice too.
