Muling naging problema ng iba ang hindi makitang pangalan sa list of registered voters. Kung kayat nagsadya ang ilan sa tanggapan ng COMELEC. Mayroon ding nagreklamo na diumano’y mga flying voters na nasa listahan subalit hindi nakatira sa barangay na kanilang bobotohan. Sa barangay Calicanto na may 7,000registered voters, inereklamo ang mabagal na proseso ng eleksyon sapagkat limitado sa anim na tao ang pinapapasok sa isang presinto kahit marami pang bakanteng bangko para sa mga botante. Dahil dito lalong humahaba ang pila. Ayon sa kay Election Officer Atty. Groller Mar Liwag, ang pinakamaraming bilang ng taong pwedeng bumoto sa loob ng presinto ay 10. Bawal ang gumamit ng cellphone at makipag usap sa mga watchers habang bumubuto.

Aguinaldo. Called “Heneral Miong” by his closest relatives and friends, the hero general was born on March 22, 1869 at his family ancestral home in Kawit, Cavite. On this day, the locals gather at Aguinaldo ancestral home, now a shrine, to celebrate the birth anniversary of the first Philippine president. The celebration commenced with a morning mass in remembrance of General Aguinaldo. It was led by Rev. Armando P. Manaog from the Parish of Santa Maria Magdalena. The mass was then succeeded by a socio-civic parade which was graced by representatives of different local government bodies including several barangay officials and various civic associations. Shortly after the parade, key visitors Senator Juan Edgardo M. Angara and the director of National Historical Caommission, Hon. Ludovico D. Badoy, headed the wreath offering ceremony to formally pay respect to the life and passion of the general. This was followed by heartfelt messages from Cavite Governor Jesus Crispin Remulla and the guest of honor, Senator Angara. By 10:30 in the morning, the crowd cheerfully welcomed the second part of the program as Sta. Cecilia Band played an upbeat marching band song for the audience. As soon as the musicians have set the mood, Ms. Elinia Imelda Rozelle Sangalang of the Provincial Tourism Office introduced the new program for the local tourism of Cavite wherein a modern online campaign was launched in order to highlight the province’s jewels — its rich historical and natural attractions. Later in the afternoon, the stage was taken by storm with powerful acts from the student participants of the declamation contest. Many were brought to tears while the young poets interpreted the life of Aguinaldo through oration. The celebration ended with symphonic performances which starred various homegrown talents, namely Cavite Provincial Capitol Chor, Coro Regina Coeli, Kulturang Salinas, LPU Cavite Harmonic Chorale, DLSU-D Chorale, Kawit Singing Ambassadors, Teatro Baile de Cavite and Campus Medley Imusicapella. Truly, the observance of Cavite Day became an avenue for artists to showcase their talents in honor of our beloved General Aguinaldo.
