Barangay Election Results for Talakag Poblacion

This is my first Barangay Election experience, having left Talakag and lived abroad for over 25 years. I went to my voting centre early to avoid the rush. Unlike the Big Election held last May, the Barangay Election was very quiet and basic. The ballot was like a ¼ sheet of blank bond paper and I had to write down the candidates’ names. Even if PCOS Machines were not being used, I (at least) expected all the candidates names preprinted on the ballot and all I had to do was tick the corresponding boxes. I went back to the voting centre later in the afternoon to observe and get the results first hand. Again the process was very basic with someone tallying on the blackboard with a piece of chalk. It was like going back in time!

Anyway, here are the official results I gathered from the COMELEC Office:
