PPCRV Executive Director Maria Isabel Buenaobra said that this equated to 46 percent of all election returns in the country. ADVERTISEMENTBuenaobra said that among those received and encoded were election returns from Albay, Negros Occidental, and Cebu. Earlier, PPCRV said they already received and encoded partial election returns from Metro Manila, Cavite, Bulacan, Pangasinan, Baguio City, La Union, Nueva Ecija, Cagayan, and Tarlac. “Even if we reach 50 percent, we will continue encoding the physical election returns… We will continue to get as many election returns as possible and validate all of the election returns that we receive,” Buenaobra said. On Thursday, the PPCRV said that two manually encoded election returns showed discrepancies when compared with the results in the transparency server.
