The new voter registration ended with a few hundred thousand Filipinos really stuck to the old habit of waiting to the last day of registration.

• Some people really doesnt know when to change
• They put the blame on COMELEC, Meralco and the rain (As far as I know this has been going on for a long time now)
• This is a part of the official document released by COMELEC last year:

I’ve spent most of my days working with either a noontime show on the background or the evening news.  Burn the night away with prime time telenovelas or the regular Sky Cable movie channels. This last two months that has passed has been very hard and informative. It’s the late night discussions with family members and friends that keeps me going. I think I already have Gephyrophobia on heavy rains… want to get over it soon… I felt it when we crossed Pulilan bridge last Wednesday.
