This is Comelec's fastest transmission ever of vote results. I wonder what changed. In fact, Comelec Commissioner George Garcia just announced it would take Comelec SEVEN DAYS to count votes for the President and Vice President. I'm keen to know what it did to count so fast.

Hello, guys, PLEASE NOTE that the Comelec results are based on ELECTION RETURNS, NOT BALLOTS COUNTED. If you add up the actual votes of ALL the presidential candidates, they amount to only a little over a third of the total number of registered voters. So malayo po.

On this day in 1986, the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr. was ousted by People Power and forced their family into exile.
This year, the EDSA revolution was not marked as a holiday because it falls on a Sunday, according to the Office of the President.
