Brgy. Bagong Silang scores highest voter turnout

Although situated halfway up Mt. Makiling, Brgy. Bagong Silang recorded the highest voter turnout at 88%, followed by Brgy. Bayog (84%) and Brgy. Putho-Tuntungin (83%).

However, Brgy. Bagong Silang had the lowest number of registered voters at 418, with 368 voters or 88% casting their votes last May 13. Meanwhile, Brgy. Bayog and Brgy. Putho-Tuntungin had 4,095 and 4,307 registered voters, respectively.

In terms of number of actual voters, Brgy. Mayondon was the highest at 6,688 voters, followed by Brgy. Batong Malake (5,507) and Brgy. San Antonio (4,817). These barangays also had the highest number of registered voters in Los Baños.

In total, Los Baños has approximately 53,000 registered voters, with 42,791 or 80.74% actual voters. This percentage of voter turnout is higher than the 70-percent national voter turnout expected by COMELEC.

Perez supporters await proclamation

Supporters of winning Los Baños mayoralty candidate Caesar Perez have trooped to the municipal hall to witness the proclamation of Perez.

Perez and the rest of the winning Los Baños candidates are yet to be proclaimed by the Municipal Board of Canvassers (MBOC). The MBOC is still waiting for the go signal from the regional COMELEC office to proclaim the winning candidates. Earlier, the MBOC wrote a letter to the regional COMELEC office requesting for the lowering of canvassing threshold which will pave the way for the proclamation. The request stemmed from a defective CF card from one precinct in Brgy. Bayog. Although the 788 remaining votes from this precinct will no longer affect results for mayor, vice mayor, and top 7 councilors, these votes are crucial for councilors ranked 8th and 9th.

The MBOC are expecting that winners will still be proclaimed by today.

Proklamasyon ng nanalong LB mayor nakabinbin

(as of 12 pm, May 14, 2013)

Sa kasalukuyan ay pansamantalang nakabinbin ang proklamasyon ng nanalong mayor ng Los Baños na si Caesar Perez (AKBAYAN) bunsod ng pagtutol ng mga legal counsel ni incumbent Mayor Anthony Genuino (UNA).

Sa ginagawang pagbibilang ng mga boto sa bagong kapitolyo ng Los Baños, hiniling ng kampo ni Caesar Perez sa pamamagitan ng kanyang legal consel na si Atty. Jonas Javier na i-proklama na si Perez bilang nagwaging kandidato sa pagka-mayor sa Los  Baños. Subalit ang hakbang na ito ay tinutulan ng mga legal counsel ni Genuino sa kadahilanang hindi pa nasusunod lahat ng requirements ukol sa lowering of canvassing threshold. Nilinaw ng mga legal counsel ni Genuino na hindi sila tutol sa proklamasyon ng mga nanalo subalit nais nila na masiguro na masunod ang nasasaad sa batas.

Ipinaliwanag ni Atty. Javier na ang mga boto mula sa isang presinto sa Brgy. Bayog na hindi pa na-transmit dahil sa depektibong CF card ay hindi na makaka-apekto sa resulta ng eleksyon sa nibel ng mayor.
