Duterte asks Comelec to probe machine glitches

(UPDATED) PRESIDENT Rodrigo Duterte urged the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to probe the alleged glitches in the last elections to put to rest allegations of cheating.

He was particularly referring to the problematic vote counting machines (VCMs) that delayed either the casting of votes in some precincts or their transmission to the poll body's transparency server.

During his site inspection of the newly-built OFW Hospital, President Rodrigo Duterte said that the health facility is one of the government’s ways of thanking the OFWs for their valuable contributions to the country. CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS
