2010 NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTIONS
Registration deadline is October 31
"The Commission resolved to move back the voters’ registration deadline to October 31 from December 15 in order to give us more time to prepare for the full automation of the 2010 elections," Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez said in a statement.
Despite the earlier deadline for registration, Jimenez said that voters will be given more opportunities to register after the commission also ruled to open registration on Saturdays and holidays, mainly to encourage students and workers to register.
Before you can vote, you need to register. Here’s a step by step guide to successfully registering as a voter for the upcoming elections:
1. Bring any of the following valid identification cards:
- employee’s ID,
- postal ID,
- Students ID,
- Driver’s License,
- NBI or PNP clearance,
- Passport,
- SSS/GSIS ID, IBP ID,
- PRC license
Have a photo copy of your ID ready to be submitted to the Comelec. IDs should have name, picture and address. If you are not yet 18 but will turn 18 before the election period, bring a birth certificate. Forms should be accomplished in triplicate.
2) Head off to your local Election Officer (OEO) at your local city or municipal hall during regular office hours (read: Mondays to Fridays, from 8am to 5pm). Lately, the Comelec has opened their doors as well to Saturday registrations. It’s also good to watch out for mobile registrations in your barangay and schools.
3) Before you are given a registration form, the election officer will verify if you have registered in the past.
4) Once cleared, you will be given the CEF-1A (white form) to fill-up. You can also download your own copy from the Commission on Elections website.
5) Fill up ‘Part 1’ and hand it to the election officer, presenting your valid ID while handing over the photocopy of your ID.
6) You will be ushered to the data capturing or biometrics desk for your signature, thumb mark, and picture.
7) You will be given an acknowledgement receipt. Keep this as proof that you have registered. You will be asked to come back for your voters’ ID. –
* Based on COMELEC’s and YVote Philippines’s election registration guide. Registration for first-time voters will end on October 31, 2009.

Sa puntong ito nais kong pasalamatan ang Diyos at hindi tayo matinding na apektuhan ng mga bagyong Ondoy at Pepeng. Nais ko po kayong paalalahanan na dapat lagi tayong maging handa sa ano mang mga kalamidad na darating sa atin. Ang naging malaking problema natin noon ay ang basura na di agad nakolekta. Akin lang pong pakiusap na ihiwalay natin ang mga nabubulok sa di nabubulok at huwag po nating ilalabas ang mga ito kung wala pa ang truck ng basura.
Sa kabutihang palad, wala naman po tayong problema sa mga kabarangay na lulong sa droga o mga nangangalakal nito.
At sa pagtatapos nito, nais ko po kayong paalalahanan na kung sino pa ang di pa nakakapag parehisto ay puede pa pong magpunta sa COMELEC hangang sa Oktubre 31, 2009, upang magpatala.
Maraming Salamat at Mabuhay ang Barangay 885!
Marina G. Vergara
Chairman
