Baguio City is celebrating the 37th National Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation Week. One of the highlights was the special registration for voters with disability.
Eleven P-W-Ds and 12 senior citizens registered last Friday at the SM Mall, one of dozens of off-site registration venues around the country.
First quarter records from Comelec Baguio show that only 167 PWDs have registered. Census estimates more than 3,000 P-W-Ds in the city as of 2010.
Election Officer John Paul Martin says there are still about 8,000 registered voters in the city who have yet to update their biometrics.
