I exercised my right of Suffrage today. May 14, 2018 is the schedule for Barangay Election here in the Philippines. National and local election here in the Philippines is always scheduled every second Monday of May. The right index finger of voters are marked with indelible ink as a proof that we already voted and to also prevent cases of flying voters. The indelible ink is very hard to erase and usually last 1-2 days even if they use strong detergent to wash it of.

Barangay or barrio is the smallest administrative division in the Philippines. Barangay officials comprises of the Barangay Captain and 7 Kagawads. W
Today we used the manual method of voting wherein we wrote each name of candidates that we have chosen and the poll leaders and poll watcher will manually count the vote casts afterwards.

Voting precincts are always inside the classrooms of elementary schools. This is the common scenario outside the schools. The supporters of candidates made the campaign materials or flyers as flaglets or banderitas that they displayed outside the schools.

Candidates have different campaign strategy and choosing the best candidates for the position is a very important decision. It is always best to check and study the candidate's election platform. Knowing the candidates previous track record or their current projects in helping the citizens within their Barangay is very vital in choosing the best candidate.

There are some illegal strategies that a candidate uses and some of these include vote-buying or paying the voters just to win, sad to say. Worst thing that happens during election are death related incidents.

In every election we are asked to vote wisely. The candidates that we will vote will have a great role in making our town and country a better place to live in. Our future and that includes our families future depends on the decision that we will make. The candidates that we will choose will have a great role in making our country a better place to live in. So always vote wisely! 😄👍
