MANILA — Some voters based in Metro Manila began heading home as early as Thursday to make sure they can vote on time in their respective provinces on May 12.

Among them is Nelinda Cervantes, who took a leave from work to travel to Puerto Princesa, Palawan, where she is registered to vote.

“Para po makapagprepare sa botohan din. Kasi maramihan na rin ang pasahero. Iwas na rin sa mga ganun," Cervantes said at Manila North Port.

Another passenger, 24-year-old Myra Sanogal, made sure she could return to Negros Occidental for elections after spending several months with her aunt in Caloocan since November 2024.

"Para sa sarili ko rin po. Para sa kinabukasan po ng mamamayan," she said.

According to her, securing tickets has already become difficult, and fares are expected to rise in the coming days.

"Mahirap tska tataas pag liliban ka ng isang araw bago kumuha ka ng ticket, tataas po," she added.
