    Ano ba mga "perks" na nakukuha ng isang Barangay/SK Chairman & Kagawads, at parang nagpapakamaty din silang tumakbo para sa position na ito? Aside pa yung sa pondo, magkano ba monthly salaries ng mga ito?

    Akala ko, sa local/national elections lang magulo. Kahit sa Brgy. level pala, ganun din..........

    Comelec: 40,000 failed to vote in village, SK polls in Metro


    CLOSE to 40,000 out of the more than six million registered voters in Metro Manila failed to participate in Monday’s barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) elections as a result of double registration, the head of the Commission on Elections-National Capital Region (Comelec-NCR) office said Tuesday.

    According to Michael Dioneda, the Comelec determines cases of double registration – which may either be intentional or inadvertent – through its computer database of fingerprints. “This is the reason so many people’s names were missing from the voters’ lists,” he told the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

    Dioneda said double registration could occur when a voter who had moved to another city enlisted again as a new voter instead of merely applying for a change of address.

    In that case, he said the person’s last registration would be removed from the record and the new one would be valid. But if a voter registered a second time in the same city, the second registration would be invalidated, Dioneda said.

    In the case of the 40,000 or so voters, they failed to vote because they went to the polling precinct where their registration had been invalidated.

    The old recourse, Dioneda added, would have been to consult the “book of voters,” a master list of the names of registered voters nationwide. He explained, however, that due to former Senator Manuel Roxas II’s electoral protest against Vice President Jejomar Binay, the Presidential Electoral Tribunal had barred the Comelec access to the book of voters in the 2010 presidential elections. The implication of this order was that the Comelec could not afford voters the final remedy of searching for their names in the book of voters if their names were missing from the posted computerized voters lists or the election day computerized voters lists.

    Dioneda, meanwhile, reported a 60 percent turnout in the barangay elections and a 70 to 80 percent turnout in the SK polls. He explained, however, that this was a ballpark estimate based on observations and reports from the ground since the official figures had yet to come in. According to him, the SK election had a higher turnout because those who registered “had every intention of casting their votes” despite the smaller number of registrants.

    He added that the conduct of barangay polls in all areas in Metro Manila had finished on time with the exception of Old Balara in Quezon City, where the SK election had to be postponed because the ballots had not been delivered. No date has been set for the special election. According to Dioneda, the proclamation of winners in all barangay would likely be finished today (Wednesday) or tomorrow (Thursday) in the largest villages in cities like Caloocan and Muntinlupa. But for average-sized villages, he said the winners could be proclaimed by last night at the latest.

    Six arrested

    In Manila, six persons, including an incumbent barangay chair, were arrested by the police for allegedly violating election laws. Of the six, two were picked up on suspicion of being flying voters while the rest were apprehended for distributing campaign materials inside a polling area.

    One of those arrested on Monday was identified as Maricar Malate, 26.

    “She [Malate] was caught when she could not give the birth date of the registered voter whose name she was using. She just cried and admitted to being a flying voter,” case investigator Police Officer 3 Ferdinand Leyva said.

    On the other hand, 19-year-old Rodrigo Libores, a resident of Quinto Street, Sampaloc, was arrested after he allegedly attempted to cast a vote under a different name at Trinidad Tecson Elementary School.

    In the northern part of Metro Manila, the Northern Police District (NPD) said it arrested 39 people for violating the liquor ban. Superintendent Rio Gatacillo, NPD public information chief, said in an interview that while the figure was lower compared to the one registered during the May elections, they still wanted to bring it down to zero in future elections.

    “The public should know that there should be no drinking during the election period inside or outside of their homes. All sales and purchases of alcohol are prohibited,” he pointed out. Of the 39 arrested, 17 came from Caloocan City and the rest from Navotas. No arrests were made in the cities of Malabon and Valenzuela. At the start of the implementation of the liquor ban at midnight of October 24, only two people were picked up for violating the law. The number, however, shot up to 37 on election day.

    In Pasig City, three men were picked up by the police for reportedly snatching 112 ballots from a polling precinct at the close of Monday’s barangay and SK elections. They were identified as Arnel Dagaraga, 24; Armando Toquero, 49; and Gerald Morales, 33; all residents of the city.

    According to Senior Inspector Roderick Tonga of the city police, the snatching of ballots took place at around 5 p.m. at Pineda Elementary School just as the teachers were about to begin the canvassing of votes. He said the three suddenly barged into a polling precinct at the third floor of the school and grabbed an envelope containing 112 ballots from a member of the Board of Election Tellers (BET). Tonga added that he and his men immediately went to the school after receiving a report about the incident. When they got there, they saw three men about to board a motorcycle and accosted them.

    During questioning, the three yielded identification cards from a group called Citizens Crime Watch, he said. “The ballots were still intact at the time. Afterward, everything was immediately turned over to the BET,” Tonga told the Inquirer. He added that they were preparing to file charges against the three men.

    Meanwhile, the supporters of a losing candidate in Mandaluyong City held a rally near city hall to protest alleged electoral fraud.

    A candidate for Barangay Plainview chair, Julio de Quinto, who had lost to Ryan Mendoza, nephew of Mandaluyong Representative Neptali Gonzales, claimed that a lot of his followers, including his mother and daughter-in-law were not able to cast their votes because their names were not in the voters’ list. He added that he had filed a petition with the local Comelec office to nullify Mendoza’s proclamation.

    “We have affidavits and photos to prove our claims,” De Quinto said.

    Bomb-throwing incident

    In Parañaque City, a 47-year-old garbage collector was arrested for allegedly throwing a homemade bomb at a public school where the canvassing of votes was being held yesterday afternoon.

    The man was identified as Eduardo Valiente, a resident of Barangay San Dionisio. His three other cohorts managed to escape, said Senior Supt. Alfredo Valdez, city police chief. No one was reported killed or injured in the incident, Valdez told the Inquirer as he added that they were looking at the possibility that it was election-related.

    Initial investigation showed that the incident happened at around 1:50 p.m. at the Parañaque Central Elementary School in Kabihasnan, Barangay San Dionisio. Valiente and his companions, who were reportedly staying in the cemetery at the back of the school, suddenly hurled an improvised explosive inside one of the classrooms on the second floor.

    “It was a good thing that no one was there when it happened since the canvassing was being held in the adjacent classrooms. The molotov also landed on the concrete floor that’s why it didn’t start a fire,” Valdez said. With Jeannette I. Andrade, Beverly T. Natividad, Niña Calleja and Tina G. Santos

    free lahat yan sa barangay namin.

    ang kinikita ng mga chairman eh yun IRA. meron din silang budget for example sa barangay San Lorenzo sa Makati, ang yearly budget nila is P250M, that's like for a small town na.

    meron ngang nagsabi na isang BC dito sa Manila na he would rather be a Barangay chairman than a Mayor sa isang probinsiya.

    malaki rin mga kita diyan, kahit mga SK meron din mga cut sa projects from contractors.

    That is why, IMO, the SK should be scrapped.

    At an early age, the system is teaching them to be corrupt....

    kahit yun barangay election dapat huwag na gumamit ng ballots, dagdag gastos lang yun eh.

    ang pag vote sa kapitan del baryo dapat taasan na lang na kamay.
