Amidst their duties, Bernard Silvano Jr., one of the volunteers, recounted the challenges faced during the election day. “Daghang tao ang gahig ulo, hilabina katong mga tiguwang ug mga dagko na, dili sila mo sunod sa linya, dali dalion pajud ka ug dili ma minaw sa amoang gihatag nga instructions,” shared Silvano.
Despite the hurdles, the volunteers exhibited resilience and patience in fulfilling their responsibilities.
