Mahigit 300 automated counting machines ang nagkaaberya sa ginawang halalan, Mayo 12. 

Ayon kay Comelec Chairman George Garcia, pinakamarami rito ay dahil sa scanner. 

Sinisi ni Garcia ang sobrang init ng panahon na posibleng nakaapekto kaya natagalan bago natuyo ang mga tinta sa balota. 

Pero giit ng Comelec, mas mababa pa rin ito kaysa sa 2,500 vote counting machines na pinalitan noong 2022 elections.

Ibinoto, iba sa resibo... Eleksiyon, palpak

Nakaranas ng aberya ang senatorial aspirant sa ilalim ng PDP-Laban na si Raul Lambino matapos bumoto sa kanyang presinto kahapon ng umaga. 

Sa isang Facebook post ni Lambino, sinabi niyang bagama’t tinanggap naman umano ng machine ang kanyang balota, wala aniyang verification at scanning na lumitaw sa screen. 

Blangko rin ang natanggap niyang resibong lumabas.

"Bumoto po ako kaninang 7:00 am. Tinanggap naman ng Machine yong balota pero walang scanning at verification na nag-appear sa screen, at ang lumabas na balota ay blanko," pahayag ni Lambino.

Nang ulitin sa ikatlong pagkakataon ay parehong resulta pa rin na nagpapakita ng mga pangalan ng mga kandidato na hindi niya binoto at maging ang pangalan niya ay wala. 

"Inulit ng BEI Chairman ang pagprint ng resibo at may lumabas na mga ibang pangalan na hindi ko binoto pati sarili ko, asawa ko atbp. Inulit muli ang pagprint ng resibo, ganoon pa rin!" saad pa niya. 

“Iba ang lumabas na mga pangalan sa resibo! Ibang mga pangalan ng kandidato na hindi ko binoto ang lumabas, at WALA iyong pangalan ko, asawa ko atbp kandidato na aking binoto!”

Sa kabila nito, positibo pa rin ang kandidato at nanawagan sa mga botante na bumoto pa rin at umasang mga tamang kandidato ang manalo ngayong 2025 midterm elections.

Dagdag pa niya, "Hindi man perpekto at depektibo ang mga makina at teknolohiya na ginagamit, dapat pa rin tayong bumoto at umasa na tamang mga kandidato ang manalo sa Halalan."

President Marcos shows a satisfaction rating that marginally exceeds 60% — Tangere Survey

by Info @Survey | May 10, 2025

Manila, Philippines — A recent survey conducted by Tangere has revealed that the Office of the President (61.8% satisfaction rating) under the executive branch is the highest rated service branch of the Philippine Government after posting a significant 10% increase in satisfaction rating. The increase is driven by respondents belonging to socio-economic class D and E (lower income class), and respondents living in rural areas in the country. The increase can be attributed primarily to the initial rollout of the PhP20 rice promised during the campaign period, irrigation projects resulting to double harvests for farmers, improvement in health infrastructure especially related to pediatric care, and to the delivery of completed units under the National Housing Authority (NHA) .

The Cabinet reporting to the president also received a notable increase in satisfaction rating after posting a 2.5% increase in their satisfaction rating (49.4% to 51.9%).

The Office of the Vice President under Vice President Sara Duterte , who is facing an impeachment trial in the Senate, posted a satisfaction rating of 48.4%.

The Philippine National Police (PNP), reporting under the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), received the lowest satisfaction rating from the Executive Branch after posting a 44.4% satisfaction rating.

The Legislative Branch

The House of Representatives under the leadership of Speaker Martin Romualdez remains as the highest performing member of the legislative branch. Respondents gave the lower house a satisfaction rating of 55.7%. The other member of the bicameral body under the legislative branch, the Senate, received a satisfaction rating of 49.5%, a notable increase from the previous month’s survey.

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP)

Filipinos have a positive view of the AFP with the three service branches of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) receiving an average satisfaction rating of 60%. The Philippine Army received the highest satisfaction rating (60.2%), followed closely by the Philippine Navy at 59.8%, and the Philippine Airforce with 58.5%.

The Judicial Branch

Despite having one of the lowest awareness rating, the Supreme Court under the leadership of Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo, received a satisfaction rating of 45.2% (net of Aware).

Independent Constitutional Commissions

The COMELEC under the leadership of Chairman George Garcia is the highest rated independent constitutional commission of the Philippines. The upcoming midterm elections led to the COMELEC having a satisfaction rating of 53.0%, a notable increase from the previous month’s survey. The COMELEC is followed distantly by the Commission on Audit (43.5%) and the Commission on Appointment (43.0%).
