Yes! I have done my part as a Filipino and I was able to practice my privilege to vote. Finally, after the long wait, I already experienced the automated voting.

The night before that, my mom told me that she will vote at 7 o’clock in the morning, she asked me if what time I will vote. I said that I might vote in the afternoon, around 2 o’clock. She said that they want to avoid the long wait and the long line in the precinct.

This morning, when I woke up, I saw my mom and my sister getting ready to leave. The school where the precinct was located is just a 5-minute ride from home. After two hours, I received a text message containing this” Kuya, bumoto ka na, mahaba ang pila”. I ignored that text and go back to sleep. This afternoon, around 2 o’clock, I went to the precinct, search my name on the list and proceed inside. They handed me this verrryyyyy long ballot kept inside a folder with a marker, and then sat down on a desk.

As I open the ballot, I saw the verrryyy looong lists of candidates running this election. I thought the hardest part of voting is choosing who your bets are, but I was wrong. The most difficult part is shading the oval beside the name of the candidate. The “bilog na hugis itlog” is very small and you need to be very careful in shading it. I used my artistic ability (LOL) in shading every oval/oblong. As I remember, I voted a president, vice-president, six senators and a party list on the national listings. I just don’t feel I have to fill up twelve different senators, I just voted who I think is worthy of my vote.

After I finished shading, I went to the PCOS machine, and I admit that this is the most suspenseful part of the voting procedure. I gently inserted the ballot, and thank goodness, my first time is a success! I handed back the folder and the marker, signed my name on the voter’s list and put a thumb mark beside where I signed. After that, they put a drop of indelible ink on my index finger as a guarantee that I have successfully completed the voting process.
