00:00 It's past 7 in the morning, polling places are open all over the country.
00:05 And we're back with Pasong Tamo Elementary School in Quezon City.
00:08 We're still here with Maris Umali. Maris.
00:13 Good morning, Igan. There are so many people, voters, of course, here in Pasong Tamo Elementary School,
00:23 which is one of the schools, they are the only one in the Philippines that automated the elections,
00:30 like now in the Barangay and the SK elections.
00:33 We can see that the line is very long here.
00:35 These people are the ones who are still looking for their precincts, where they will vote.
00:41 So it's okay, and the message is continuous.
00:45 We talked earlier that she can't find her precinct, even though she's been voting here for two years already.
00:55 At this point, let's ask.
00:57 We can see that the lines are long in her precincts.
01:02 These people below are just a few of those who are already done.
01:07 Ma'am, you just finished voting. How was your voting?
01:11 Did you have a part in the process that was difficult for you?
01:15 No, ma'am. Because the precincts are already memorized.
01:20 Memorized?
01:21 Yes.
01:22 The lines are fast, right?
01:25 Yes, it's fast.
01:27 Did you shade your vote?
01:31 The circle is shaded.
01:34 And no one passed?
01:35 No, ma'am.
01:36 Are you sure?
01:37 I read it. Did you see it?
01:39 The vote counting machine read it.
01:42 Congrats, you passed. Thank you for your duty as a country's leader.
01:49 Thank you. Take care.
01:52 At this point, we can see the lines in her precincts.
01:57 The first floor is for PWD, senior citizens, and heavily pregnant women
02:05 so that they won't have a hard time getting in.
02:09 At this point, we have someone to talk to.
02:11 Good morning, sir. I'm Maris.
02:13 I'm Ricardo Vidal.
02:14 Are you in line or already voted?
02:16 No, ma'am. I'm still in line.
02:18 What time did you come here?
02:20 Around 7.
02:21 Around 7?
02:22 Just in time for the opening.
02:24 Did you have a hard time getting in?
02:25 No, ma'am. It's just that the lines are long.
02:26 Did you find your precincts right away?
02:28 Yes.
02:29 Are you ready for the automated elections?
02:32 Yes, ma'am.
02:33 Do you have a voting code?
02:37 Yes, ma'am.
02:39 Good luck to you.
02:40 I hope you can read your voting machine.
02:45 At this point, we can still see poll watchers
02:52 because they have to protect their votes for their candidates.
03:01 Here are some of the candidates who just finished voting.
03:05 They're all mixed up.
03:06 And of course, we can see the lines inside.
03:13 There are a lot of people voting.
03:16 They're practicing their duty
03:19 during the barangay and SK elections.
03:23 So, that's the latest situation
03:25 from Pasong Tamo Elementary School.
03:28 Good luck to you.
