The counting of ballots in Inayawan Elementary School was temporarily suspended for over 40 minutes minutes due to a power interruption.

Lawyer Anna Fleur Gujilde, Commission on Elections (Comelec) Cebu City-South District officer, told reporters that they received the incident report at 6:05 p.m.

The ballot counting resumed 45 minutes later after the power restoration.

“We immediately asked personnel from Veco (Visayan Electrical Company) to resume the power supply in Inayawan Elementary School. But our teachers are equipped with emergency tools such as flashlights in case of brown outs,” Gujilde said.
