probably a few days from now, local results probably tomorrow
Really? Ugh then there's not much reason for me watching it unfold today.
I really feel like Duterte is gonna win it.
What wrong-doings have he even done? Besides supporting Roxas and Binay back in 2004, and using Death Squads to kill off criminals?
not really, unless you are keen on the local results, probably just partial results per precinct
just human rights violations
By tonight, 70% of the votes should be transmitted, so we might have an idea of who will win.
However, with the elections being tight and all, anything can still change. Another thing is that if most of the 70% votes transmitted tonight will come from Mindanao, it might appear that Duterte will win with a landslide.
According to my insiders working on the different camps, he will not. He might still win this, but by at most 2M votes.
--EDIT: Also worth mentioning that votes will probably be transmitted after 5 pm only. So it's not worth following the news now if you're waiting for results. Check back around 6-7 ish.

I doesnt get mentioned much, but the love for lumpia will always be within us. Pancit too. And halo halo. Hnnggg
4 million is too big with 50% counted and the lead is still growing, if this was a US election, this already has been called
anyways Congress won't have a session until a few weeks from now and that is the time they will declare the official winner I guess
It's time to call Duterte the new president of the Philippines. Lead is too large for others to catch up at this point.
The interesting fight right now is for VP. The race is so close between Marcos and Robredo, with less than a million separating the two.
I voted for her. Her health issue really crippled her chances big time.

I think if Duterte didn't run, she would have a much better chance of winning. I still would preferred if she ran for a VP seat.
Wait I hadn't seen the latest numbers. Duterte basically have double the amount of votes from the nearest rival now. I'm really surprised at how few votes Miriam Santiago have gotten so far. Even with her sickness.
I hope Bongbong Marcos wins. He have done great with the healthcare system in Ilocos and seems to have a good head on his shoulders.
I were more surprised that a nation-wide ban of liquor is rolling out. Why is that? Seems crazy to me.
Election-related violence is most likely the reason for that. Election tend to be festive and chaotic in the past and drunk people are part of the cause of problems.
People do stupid things when influenced by alcohol and at an election time when people are already getting killed there is no need to make it worse with alcohol
He promised to eradicate drugs and criminals in 6 months. People like him.

"lol wtf" indeed. Woke up a bit ago and said "Oh, I've got to see what is going on in the PI. I know they won't call it today but there should be some indication online of how things are going." What a terrible feeling...
I guess now I just have to be hopeful that BongBong doesn't get the VP spot.

Me too man. Hope Leni wins.
Wait, so it is only during election time that liquor and guns are banned? I thought it was to be permanent.
Why is it that people here don't want Bongbong? My impression is that he has done really well in Ilocos Norte.
Yup, just 2 days but I think anyone caught drinking or selling alcohol within those 2 days will be punished with a min of 1 year in prison

All BBM needs to do, is to say sorry for martial law (he's whitewashing it btw) and return the money they stole. That's it. Only then will I support him. Btw Binay has done really well in makati also.
That's pretty fucked up to say the least. Not that I didn't know this already, but John Oliver talking about it really solidifies it for me.
And this dude's leading the polls. God damn.

It's over man. Durerte won. Too little too late. Leni still has a chance though.
Guns are banned during the new years though. And you don't want to piss off a lot of people by banning booze permanently lol.
Bongbong is the remnant of the old Marcos regime. While he was not directly involved in that as he was probably just reaching puberty by that time lol, he and his family benefited a lot from the political power and supposed to be ill-gotten wealth that the ones who suffered from martial law still can't stand it. The fact that there was no acknowledgement of the fault of former president Marcos from his family just makes people hard to forget and forgive.
On the other side though, Marcos family is no doubt well-loved by the Ilocanos still. They never felt the bad effects of martial law and I believed they got treated well there so it's understandable why they still hold a huge political power up north.
Eh, last time I checked BBM got like a million lead over her. What's the current numbers so far?
Damn, that is very close.
Cooking time.
