Meanwhile,
it can be noted that canvassing for the provincial level was four times reset
after Bulan town and Sorsogon City failed to transmit the election returns.
Chairman
of the Provincial Board of Canvassers and Election Supervisor Atty. Calixto
Aquino, Jr. said that the Compact Flash (CF) Cards including the back-up cards of
Precinct Counting Optical Scan (PCOS) Machines for Brgys. Balete and Sampaloc
in Sorsogon City and Brgy. Beguin in Bulan town have malfunctioned causing the
non-transmittal of over-all results from the two areas.
Board
of Election Inspectors (BEIs) have to wait for the replacement of CF cards from
Manila before they are able to continue with the Sorsogon City and Bulan
Municipal Canvassing. The slow delivery of the new CF cards also added to the
delay of transmission.
Following
the receipt of CF cards on May 16, 2013, Sorsogon City transmitted the election
returns to the Provincial Board of Canvassers at 10:15 PM of the same date
while Bulan was able to transmit 15 minutes past midnight.
Earlier
on, thirteen municipalities have already proclaimed their respective newly
elected mayors as follows: Barcelona – incumbent Mayor Manuel Fortes, Jr.; Bulusan
– incumbent City Councilor Domingo Halum; Casiguran – incumbent Mayor Ma. Ester
Hamor; Castilla – unopposed incumbent Mayor Olive Bermillo; Donsol – Josephine
Alcantara, daughter of former re-electionist Mayor Jerome Alcantara who died
before election; Gubat – Roderick Co; Irosin – incumbent Mayor Eduardo Ong, Jr;
Juban – Antonio Alindogan; Magallanes – incumbent Vice-Mayor Augusto Manuel
Ragrario; Matnog – incumbent Mayor Emilio Ubaldo; Pilar – incumbent Mayor
Dennis Sy-Reyes; Pto. Diaz – incumbent Board Member Benito Doma; and Sta. Magdalena
– incumbent Mayor Alejandro Gamos. Bulan was the last municipality to proclaim
its new elected officials with incumbent Vice Mayor Marnelli Robles as the new
mayor.
Election
Supervisor Atty. Calixto Aquino, Jr. meanwhile, calls on everyone, now that
election is over, to forget politics, live a normal life and support those who
won the race prioritizing what is best for the community towards a more
productive and developed province of Sorsogon. (BARecebido, PIA Sorsogon)
