It was almost eight o’clock in the morning when we finished taking our breakfast. We had to be in the polling precinct earlier to avoid the crowd of voters. So I took on my wheels with my wife and proceed driving towards Mayamot Public School where we are one of the tens of thousand registered voters in the area.
Mayamot Public School is just less than a kilometer from where we left at Kingsville Court. It is the only public school in this barangay that serves as polling place during election periods. With an area of barely a hectare, it accommodates about ten medium sized two-storey school buildings of twelve classrooms each. There are also several single storey buildings with four classrooms each. Each classroom is used as a polling precinct. Hence, this public school is a host of more than a hundred precincts for all registered voters in the area. With an average of about two hundred voters per precinct one could imagine the horde of people going into that place from 7:00AM up to 3:00PM.
At 8:15AM we were now driving along the stretch of Sumulong Highway where Mayamot Public School is located. But then, before we crossed the intersection of Marcos Highway near Masinag Public Market vehicles were already piling up a long line waiting for the traffic signal to reverse to green. There was a hell of a bumper-to-bumper traffic waiting to take turn crossing the Marcos Highway intersection. It took us four stops or about twenty minutes before we were able to cross that intersection.
I decided to park my car at the Masinag Public Market parking lot. Heavy traffic near the polling place could be just as terrible and would not help us avoid the heat outside. I was quiet lucky for having one slot left to park. When we were already outside the car we felt the air begun to increase in degrees for it was about 8:35 in the morning. I was concerned with my wife’s ailment. Could she be able to manage to brave the heat of the sun up to the polling precinct?
We took a passenger jeep heading for Marikina. Its regular route passes along Mayamot Public School that is located less than a hundred meters from Masinag Public Market. While on board the passenger jeep several campaign errands of the candidates were distributing sample ballots to each of the passengers inside. We tried to have the last glimpse of candidates in the lists. In reality, we totally don’t have any idea of the candidates vying for local elective posts from Municipal Mayor down to the Municipal Councilors! We really don’t know who these candidates are! And now we were there heading ourselves towards the polling precinct with almost nothing in our minds. What a petty concern in us on who would be the next and the most deserving officials to take the stewardship of the different local posts or offices!
