MANILA, Philippines — Only a few individuals have cast their votes two hours after polling precincts in Pasig City opened.

In Rosario Elementary School and Ugong Pasig National Highschool, Pasig residents have started voting but queuing lines are minimal.

According to data from the Commission on Elections (Comelec), there are 440,856 registered voters in Pasig City, 197,999 of which are male while 242,857 are female.
