Mong did. The COMELEC should not neglect the efforts of those who registered during the late registration. Couple of students here in Bicol especially mentioned the Bicol University lives from a far provinces here in Legazpi, but then, they still went home though they have to waste money for their transportation expenses. Most of them still traveled to Catanduanes and Masbate which are Islands here in Bicol. If the COMELEC would not print the additional ballot for the late registrants, then how can they vote? Will they impose the law that only voters who vote on time will be prioritized to vote? Its very unreasonable. If that's so, then it's just like they did not gave value to the Extended Registration conducted. Much better that they did not just approved the Extended Registration than doing these matters after. I'm not a newly registered voter nor a registrant from a quite far place. In fact, this is my 2nd time to vote. I am just expressing my concern to my fellows who spent time just to beat the extension time given to them. Huh!!! Sana matauhan naman sila. I really agree to what Cong. Mong did.
