Zambales, ’Gapo polls peaceful – cops

By: Johnny R. Reblando - Journal

IBA, Zambales – The Zambales and the Olongapo City police offices confirmed yesterday that the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataang elections were generally peaceful.

Gov. Amor D. Deloso said that except for an incident where Kagawad Gimo Sison of Tabalong, Sta. Cruz, was allegedly manhandled by an unidentified Army soldier during the campaign period, no one was reported killed.

The various voting places in Olongapo City and Zambales opened at 7 a.m. The usual confusion in locating voter’s names and candidates’ supporters distributing campaign materials at the school gates were the common problems that cropped up.

Concerned residents complained that assistors or writers for illiterate Aeta voters in Iba and Botolan towns were not properly screened by the Commission on Elections since many of them were found to be bets’ supporters.

Information gathered showed there are 3,000 illiterate voters in the area.
