Poll winners in 3 Bataan towns proclaimed

SAMAL, Bataan -- The municipal winners in three out of 11 towns and one city in Bataan have so far been proclaimed as of Wednesday.

Named as official victors were Vice Mayor Aida Macalinao as mayor of Samal, Liberato Santiago as reelectionist mayor of Abucay, and Bagac mayor-elect Ramil del Rosario, father of incumbent mayor Louise Gabriel.

Of the three, Santiago ran unopposed.

The Municipal Board of Canvassers declared Macalinao and Santiago as official winners on Wednesday dawn while del Rosario was earlier proclaimed early morning of Tuesday.

The vice mayors and eight Sangguniang Bayan members of the three towns were also proclaimed.

The proclamation of winners in the nine towns and one city in Bataan was delayed due to defective secure digital (SD) cards that have to be reconfigured at the Commission of Elections regional office in the City of San Fernando, Pampanga.

No winner was proclaimed in the provincial and congressional slates as of Wednesday due to incomplete vote results.

A report from the Office of the Provincial Election Supervisor in Balanga City showed that 36 SD cards in the nine towns and one city were found defective and still need to be replaced. (PNA)
