Yesterday morning, the Comelec officially concluded the canvassing of votes in Cebu City. This was led by chairman Ferdinand Gujilde, who assessed the process and concluded it was peaceful and successful.

The 84.52% voter turnout was recorded for both the South and North Districts, which summed up to around 609,789 votes. This is out of the 721,469 registered voters in Cebu City.

Gujilde highlighted that these figures are already considered high, adding that what could be considered low would be those in the 60 or 70% range.

"Pero di g'yud ta ka expect of 100% voters turnout kay number 1, duna nay uban nga di na interesado, cynical na sila, or wala na sila diri, or kapoyan na mobotar tungod sa ilang condition," said Gujilde.
