‘COC filing peaceful’
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW

The filing of the certificates of candidacy October 1 to 5 at the Commission on Elections in Negros Oriental was peaceful and orderly, election supervisor Eddie Aba said.

As of Saturday afternoon, election officers in the six cities and 19 towns of Negros Oriental started submitting their official certified lists of candidates for the May 13, 2013 polls, to the provincial COMELEC office in Dumaguete City.

Aba said he believes that five days were enough for the candidates to file their COCs. “It was smooth, peaceful and orderly without any complaints received so far”, he added.

He said he will deliver the consolidated report of the list of candidates and back-up CDs to the COMELEC central office today.

The complete names of the candidates in the province will be known not later than Wednesday.

Meanwhile, registration of voters resumed Saturday as the October 31st deadline draws nearer.

Dumaguete election officer Carmencita Cañares said that around 200 registrants went to her office Saturday, believing that it was the last day of list-up.

She said the Dumaguete City government agreed to set up a registration booth at the Quezon Park October 27 to 31 to accommodate senior citizens and persons with disabilities, as the COMELEC office is on the second floor of a building at the public market complex.

Aba said there will be no extension for the registration that ends at 5 p.m. on October 31.*JFP
