The Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) noted “a difference in behavioral pattern” among voters in Eleksyon 2025, describing the trend as “very interesting.”
“I think I’m excited ang mga tao to vote. So there is passion for this particular election. It can be decisive of so many things,” PPRCV Spokesperson Ana Singson said.
Singson observed that voters started arriving and lining up at precincts as early as 7 a.m., unlike previous elections where peak voting times were usually between 2 and 4 p.m.
She also pointed out that this early turnout was seen in Metro Manila and across the entire Philippines.
“I will leave that to political analysts to talk about, but that’s our assessment of voters,” she said.
Singson also noted that the recent elections were generally “more peaceful” than the previous elections in 2019 and 2022.
“Of course, po, may nawalan ng buhay, which is always very sad. But if you’re looking in terms of numbers of violence and incidences of violence, parang mas kaunti ho ang nangyari ngayon versus 2022 and 2019, so we’re very grateful for that,” she said.
