Voters in five coastal barangays in Parañaque City overwhelmingly ratified Saturday an ordinance altering their existing territorial boundaries adjoining the reclaimed areas in Manila Bay.

Official results released by the Commission on Elections (Comelec) showed that 11,597 voters voted “Yes” to City Ordinance No. 2023-19, which alters the existing territorial boundaries of Barangays Baclaran, Tambo, Don Galo, La Huerta, and San Dionisio in the city.

On the other hand, a total of 2,254 people voted “No” against the ratification.

The Plebiscite Board of Canvassers proclaimed the approval of the ordinance after canvassing all 151 plebiscite returns from the five barangays, where 13,873 out of 79,251 registered voters participated.

Comelec Spokesperson John Rex Laudiangco said the July 25 polls were recorded as the fastest plebiscite canvassing after the winner was proclaimed just several hours after voting ended.

“The fastest plebiscite canvassing on record, with the Certificate of Canvass and Proclamation having been issued and promulgated within 6 hours from the close of polls,” he said in a statement. (Ferdinand Patinio/PNA)
