SITUATIONER

The local oppos, certainly after their recent defeat at the polls are nursing their wounds and some sectors say, they are down and probably out. Others also say they may be nursing wounds alright but they are preparing for the next round, the barangay elections. And that they will field candidates to make some marks and share slots out there. They admin is said, solid, but there is still opening somewhere they like to exploit.

COMELEC-PREPARING

The Observer was recently informed by the local COMELEC office here that they are preparing for the coming Barangay elections. There will be registration of voters yet they'd conduct before October and certainly they may go to the barangays to do this. What they are waiting though is the expected Resolution from COMELEC central that would qualify their preparation. In another development, there were more people went to voting centers and voted this May 2013 than that of of 2010. The turn out was 84.41% and the COMELEC here said, there were more older voters voted this time.
