Page 1 of 5 With 183 Thousand more or less registered voters from 54 barangays in Pagadian, only 60 percent have casted their votes to elect incumbent and new barangay and SK officials. This was learned from reliable resources from the City COMELEC office after the October 29 Elections.
However, Atty. Dinah Cagampang-Sapong, City COMELEC Registrar, said that as of presstime they cannot confirm or deny this because they are still tabulating official votes and results of casting in every barangay in Pagadian City. “We are still tabulating, maybe it is true, but we cannot confirm or deny this statements.

Provincial Director Ramon Ochotorena has issued directives to all his police stations both in the city and the province to implement a peaceful election. “Yes there were reported cases of election related killings in the province and some harassment incidents but it is manageable and we are already conducting follow-up inverstigation like in Kumalarang and Dumingag towns.” He said NEWLY ELECTED BARANGAY OFFICIALS
