245 candidates facing DQ cases

The Commission on Elections has suspended the proclamation of at least 245 candidates in the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections due to pending disqualification cases.

Garcia said the voter turnout for detainees in the Bureau of Corrections was a high 92 percent, while that in the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology was 77 percent. * The watchdog Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting said it expected a lower turnout of voters as the polling day coincides with the long weekend and holidays this week. PPCRV executive director Jude Liao told the Philippine News Agency at the watchdog’s command center at the Pope Pius XII Catholic Center in Manila on Monday that voter turnout for BSKE is usually lower compared to national elections.

* In Al-Barka, Basilan, Armed Forces of the Philippines personnel had been requested by members of the election boards to be present at the entrance to polling places to provide security to the EBs.
