00:00 Mayan, this is the first vote of Embo Barangay under Tagig.
00:05 The voters are facing a challenge to change the cluster present.
00:09 We have a live report with Rod Laguzad.
00:12 Rise and shine Rod.
00:13 Audrey, before the election starts here in Barangay West Rembo,
00:21 the residents are already here to vote here in Port Bonifacio Elementary School.
00:28 This is the first time that residents are voting in the area below Tagig City.
00:35 Following the approval of COMELEC in its Law Department's recommendation,
00:39 the 10th Embo Barangay, which was previously a part of Makati City,
00:42 is now a part of Tagig City for the Barangay and SK Elections.
00:47 Based on the released memorandum, the barangays included in Part 3 and 4 PSU 2031
00:53 are now considered a part of Tagig City, BSKE.
00:56 These include Sembo, Comembo, Pembo, East Rembo, West Rembo, South Sembo, Pitogo,
01:04 Post Proper Northside, Post Proper Southside, and Rizal.
01:08 In 2021, the Supreme Court decided that Part 3 and 4 of PSU 2031 is a part of Tagig City.
01:17 The main concern or challenge here now to the voters is the change of their clustered precinct and precinct number.
01:25 For the voters to guide them, when they enter the school, there are boards
01:29 where they can check their clustered precinct and precinct number.
01:34 The difference now is that their new clustered precinct and precinct number is placed in front of the old clustered precinct and precinct number.
01:43 From here, there is another board.
01:45 So using the precinct or clustered precinct that they got from another board,
01:49 they can see or know where this building will be located.
01:54 The voters here in Port Bonifacio Elementary School are just a part of the residents of West Rembo.
02:01 The voting starts at 7 in the morning.
02:04 At present, the number of voters here in the school continues and most of them are looking for their precinct.
02:12 Audrey, for the senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and the elderly,
02:18 they have a special polling place here in the front of the school so that if they choose to vote here,
02:26 they won't have a hard time going up and down the ballot for them.
02:31 If you can see behind me, there are a lot of people here because the residents here are complaining that they don't know
02:39 or they are confused about which particular precinct they are in because from Makati City, they have already moved here to Tagig City.
02:47 Audrey, I noticed that behind you, there are already a lot of voters looking for their clustered precinct.
02:55 For sure, this was prepared by the Comelec and other officials.
03:02 What is the preparation so that they can help our confused citizens where they are in the clustered precinct?
03:13 Audrey, here in the board that you can see behind me, there are people assisting them.
03:19 They are always reminding the voters that their old precinct is just opposite to the new precinct.
03:29 So that they won't be confused, they just have to look at the two columns here, old precinct and new precinct.
03:36 And from there, the clustered precinct is also placed there.
03:39 If we get the clustered precinct, they will go to another board that is located here in the school
03:46 so that they can know which particular location here, it could be second, third floor or fourth floor, where they can vote.
03:54 Audrey?
03:55 The election day is still long, until later in the afternoon.
03:59 So you mean, Rod, there is a Comelec officer or teacher there who is guiding the voters who are confused and looking for the clustered precinct?
04:09 Yes, Audrey. It is understandable why the residents are confused.
04:16 When we entered here earlier, there were a lot of people who are confused.
04:19 Because they are confused that their old precinct is different, but the patience of those assisting them here is long
04:26 so that they can help them to know which precinct they are looking for.
04:30 The city that will be counted in the 10 Embobarangay in Taguig City has changed.
04:36 Audrey?
04:37 Okay. Thank you very much, Rod Laguzan.
