Earlier, the NBOC convened at around 1:45 p.m., but it quickly suspended the session after no new transmissions were received. ADVERTISEMENTComelec was waiting for COCs coming from Isabela province here and those from overseas absentee voting (OAV) centers in Japan, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and Washington D.C. in the United States. Results from OAV were delayed due to issues about corrupted SD cards. According to Comelec Director Frances Arabe, they had to ship replacement cards from their warehouse to the affected areas. Meanwhile, the COC from Isabela was delayed because two vote counting machines and other election paraphernalia in Jones town were burned by armed men.
