“We conducted three CJSCC (City Joint Security Command Center) meetings. I hope that the fourth will be a victory celebration for the members,” lawyer John Paul Martin, Baguio election officer, said during the meeting Tuesday at the BCPO headquarters on Tuesday.

“Ready na ang lahat (Everybody is ready).”

Baguio has 166,416 registered voters, 60 voting centers, and 232 clustered precincts.

The BCPO, in coordination with the Armed Forces of the Philippines, has enlisted volunteers who will be on duty at assistance desks to assist voters in finding their precinct numbers and sequence numbers.

Teachers have been trained and provided with refresher training on what they need to do before, during and after the voting, the Comelec said.
