“The elections are generally peaceful in the entire country,” Commission on Elections Chairman George Garcia said. “When you say generally peaceful, we factor in the number of voters – 92 million. Let’s say the number of people affected is around 200,000 to 300,000, it seems like a small percentage. But of course, there are no perfect elections.”
The Comelec said voting had been delayed for more than 200 voters assigned to the affected precincts., two people were killed following a shooting incident in Barangay Bugawas, Datu Odin Sinsuat town at around 6 am on Monday, just an hour before polls opened. They were found on the side of Cotabato-Shariff Aguak road with multiple gunshot wounds.
