Filipinos on Tuesday were asked by an election lawyer to heed a call of Commission on Elections (Comelec) Chairman Andres Bautista to act as “volunteer voter educators” to reach out to the reported 4.3 million registered voters who might be disenfranchised for lack of biometrics data.

Most voters, according to Romulo Macalintal, do not know whether they are already biometrically registered and some believe that if they had voted in past elections or have voter’s ID, they already have biometrics data.
