Comelec sees reclustering
of poll precincts in province
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW
The extended registration period for first-time voters will certainly lead to the re-clustering of polling precincts in the province, said acting provincial election supervisor for Negros Oriental, Eddie Aba.
As of last count, before the extension of voting registrants, the final approved list of the total number of registered voters in the province had reached 714,761.
The approved and final Project of Precincts then also showed a total of 1,030 clustered precincts in the 534 voting centers province-wide.
But, with the ongoing five-day extension on Dec. 21, 22, 23, 28 and 29, the Comelec will have to reconstruct the number of clustered precincts and the final list of voters, Aba said.
| Labor complaints The number of complaints from workers reaching the Department of Labor and Employment in Dumaguete City this year, has doubled compared to last year. Inspector Kenric Villaluz of DOLE yesterday said that from January to November this year, 35 complaints were received by the DOLE Dumaguete office, which is about 100 percent more, compared to 2008, covering the same period. The complaints, affecting an estimated 150 workers, include underpayment of wages, non-payment of holiday pay, service incentive leave and 13 th month pay, and non-coverage of social services, such as SSS, Pag-ibig and PhilHealth. |
| Limkaichong case The Commission on Elections has set the hearing of a disqualification case filed against incumbent Rep. Jocelyn Limkaichong (Neg. Or., 1st District) 2 p.m. Dec. 29 at its central office session hall in Manila . The petition to deny due course of the certificate of candidacy or cancel the certificate of candidacy of Limkaichong was filed by Vice Mayor Ronald Lobrido of La Libertad town and a certain Derek Garol of Guihulngan, both in Negros Oriental, said provincial acting election supervisor Eddie Aba. The summons and notice of hearing were served yesterday to Limkaichong through her lawyer, Dirke Palma, Aba said, and a copy was also served to petitioners Lobrido and Garol through their lawyer Persephone Evangelista. |
