“As of now since the voting has ended because it is 3 o’clock already so we're waiting for the final turnout, details from ground units. Generally it’s very peaceful, Of course, with some isolated issues that we cannot immediately attribute to the plebiscite. sometimes it’s just personal.. So far, everything is secured,” he said

Besana said isolated issues include lack of transportation that caused delay in the transport of election paraphernalia.

Major Gen. Cirilito Sobejana, commander of the Army’s 6th Infantry Division, said there were no major security issues in his area of responsibility..

“Almost 90 percent of the polling precincts have closed, (and) the counting has started. There were no major security issue. Only the conflict among supporters were monitored, then the issue about interference of other sectors but we were able to address this,” he said.

“Zero casualties, I do not see any violent events to happen, but our security operation continued,” he said.
