#presidential elections

This year, 2022, the transparency server by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) has reached 98 percent within 24 hours. For the presidential race, the average ratio across 17 selected transmission periods between 7:17 PM of May 9 and 2:17 PM of May 10 stand at 2.116, which is quite near to the supposed 68-32 pattern giving Robredo a "consistent" 47 percent rate of Marcos votes, but that is where the similarities end. Nationally, the 68-32 presidential ratio and the 77-23 vice presidential ratio between the first and second placers may seem to hold water, but through the regional lens, there are areas where the Marcos-Duterte tandem performed considerably better. A similar situation could be noted in Sorsogon, where Sotto was leading (169,546) over Duterte (88,438) and Pangilinan (155,110) for the vice presidential race. Evidently, regional factors provided the leading candidates advantages and disadvantages, but the convergence of these proved to be sufficient to give them a majority of the votes, the first time since at least the 1981 elections.
