Rise and shine, go out and vote early. #PHVote
https://comelec.gov.ph/ is down? http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/comelec.gov.ph
Where can I find the list of incumbent QC councilors? =/
What's up with the drop down list on the #Halalan2013 website? https://i.imgur.com/FthdUOx.png

Now in a line of around 50 people waiting to vote. Estimated wait time: 1 hour =/
In fairness there's an order of magnitude less election trash around the voting area this time
And it's raining now... 20 people left ahead of me, line moves faster than I thought
Finally done. Total time around 1hr including waiting and the actual voting

Stop reacting to the unofficial count when it's like < 20,000 votes out of millions. Go to sleep, expect more solid results in the morning.
Based on social media and discussions among people in the voting precinct, it feels like this time around a lot more people went out to vote and made wise and responsible choices. I hope new voters don't get too discouraged by the results; we've had idiots in the senate before, we can survive them (her?) again. We can't change the outcome anymore, but we should stay vigilant during the counting and figure out what we need to do to make things better next time around. Our responsibility doesn't end with one vote. Cheers :D

can't sleep. will probably stay awake until voting time!
Heading out to vote!
Voting is done in batches of 10, but the waiting area is filling up faster than batches are sent out. Late voters… http://gladlyCast.com/6rd
We're told there was a problem w the pcos machine and the first batch has just started voting #halalan
Finally done, and sweat-drenched
Mine was the 26th ballot cast in my clustered precinct, it took me 2 hrs. Good luck with the 1000 voters #halalan
Despite the problems, don't forget to thank the Comelec staff once you're done, they're overworked and underpaid. #halalan
My parents just came back from our precinct at Quirino Elementary in Anonas, apparently the lines are much shorter now. #halalan
Just woke up from a nap, congrats to everyone who managed to vote today. Let's be vigilant and wait for the election results. #halalan
Official results at http://bit.ly/bqpsJ2 (why do I have a feeling this site is going to get hammered) #halalan
Seeing Lapid, Revilla, etc. leading in the early results is disheartening >.< Oh Filipino voter, how can we make you grow up? #halalan

I still don't know how I am voting on Monday. Or even if I am voting at all. I'm thinking of voting for those 3 guys from Kapatiran, simply to reward the sheer chutzpah of their candidacies. The GO and TU coalitions seem largely irrelevant to me, you can be fairly sure those coalitions won't mean squat after the elections, so all these surveys keeping score of administration vs opposition seem a bit useless. I'm no lover of the GMA administration, but the opposition's offerings don't leave a very good taste in the mouth either. I'd much rather bring in
