It’s quiet on Election Day in Davao CityDAVAO CITY, DAVAO DEL SUR, Philippines — Unlike the blaring music and roaring crowd during the campaign, the silence on Election Day in Davao City was observable. During campaign rallies across the country, the presidential daughter was sporting campaign shirts of senatorial candidates endorsed by her regional party, Hugpong ng Pagbabago. The mayor this time wore a white shirt printed with Davao City’s tagline, “Life is Here,” when she cast her vote. It took only 14 policemen to secure vote counting machines that were installed at Itbayat Central School for Barangay Santa Maria and Santa Rosa; Mayan Elementary School for Barangay Santa Lucia, Itbayat National Agricultural High School for Barangay San Rafael, and Raele Integrated School for Barangay Raele, said municipal election officer Marites Martos. —Nathan AlcantaraSee the bigger picture with the Inquirer's live in-depth coverage of the election here https://inq.ph/Election2019Read NextLATEST STORIESMOST READ
