This is what we wrote based on our observations and interviews:
By Jhesset Enano and Mariejo Ramos
Lack of poll watchers caused delay in the precinct in Marikina during the final testing and sealing (FTS) of Precinct Count Optical Scan (PCOS) machines on Monday.
Scheduled at 9 a.m., the Board of Election Inspectors (BEI) at clustered precinct #133 at Concepcion Elementary School was able to.begin the test an hour later.
Poll watchers are encouraged in precincts to observe and ensure the transparency of the test and the elections on May 13 itself.
An observable low turnout of people other than the BEI marked the FTS in different polling precincts.
A minor glitch also.delayed the process when the machine failed to continuously print the election returns of local candidates.
Only one PCOS technician is assigned for every five clusteres precincts.
BEI Chairperson Jhoedelyn Lucero complained that their training under the Department of Science and Technology did not include technicalities, such as wiring the battery of the voting machine.
