Mayor Lacuna, slate set voting schedules for 12 May

Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna will cast her vote at Legarda Elementary School in Sampaloc between 9:00 and 10:00 AM on 12 May and has urged Manileños to vote early to avoid high temperatures and long queues.

"I remind Manila voters to vote early to avoid the daytime high temperatures. To avoid any hassles during voting, each voter should know in advance their precinct number and the precinct location at the voting center para maiwasan po ang kumpulan sa harap ng mapa ng mga presinto," Lacuna said.

"Pregnant mothers, PWDs, and my fellow senior citizens can vote early if they want to from 5 AM onwards," added Lacuna, who recently turned 60 on 6 May.

Asenso Manileño Chairperson and Manila Second District Representative Rolan Valeriano will vote at Lakandula Elementary School in Gagalangin, Tondo.

"Alamin nyo na po agad kung saang presinto kayo boboto. Gamitin ang Comelec precinct finder kung di pa niyo alam ang presinto niyo," Valeriano said.

Third District Rep. Joel Chua will vote at A. Mabini Elementary School in Sta. Cruz, Manila.

"Bilang panigurado, ipinapayo po sa bawat botante magdala ng valid ID upang madaling mahanap ng Board of Election Inspectors ang pangalan ng botante sa listahan ng registered voters," Chua reminded.

Vice Mayor Yul Servo Nieto, seeking re-election, will vote at Marcela Agoncillo Elementary School in San Nicolas, Manila, and is expected to support Rep. Chua and the entire Asenso Manileño slate.

Sixth District Rep. Benny Abante will vote at Sta. Ana Elementary School and reminded voters to prepare for long lines.

"Magbaon ng mahabang pasensya sa 12 May. Magbaon din ng tubig, tinapay, at portable fan para hindi magutom o mahilo habang nasa pila sa presinto," Abante advised.

In other districts, Asenso Manileño congressional candidates will vote at their respective precincts: Former Rep. Manny Lopez (District 1) at Magat Salamat Elementary School in Tondo, Dra. Giselle Maceda (District 4) at Dr. Alejandro Albert Elementary School in Sampaloc, and Rep. Irwin Tieng (District 5) at Epifanio Delos Santos Elementary School in Malate.

"Ang inyo pong mga pambato mula sa Asenso Manileño mula Konsehal hanggang Punong-Lungsod ay may panata ng serbisyong diretso sa tao — Tapat at Totoo," Mayor Lacuna said. "Sa hinabahaba man ng kampanya, at sa tindi ng mga pinagdaanan nating pagsubok, manangan po kayo na sa huli, TAPAT at TOTOO ang mananaig!"
