Thousands of Filipino voters headed to the Dubai Consulate for the final weekend of the overseas absentee voting (OAV).
Queues of OFWs eager to vote showed up on the weekend under the heat of the sun, just to ensure that their vote counts for the 2022 presidential elections.
Today, May 9, marks the official and sole day for elections in the Philippines and the final day for OAV. This means that the cut-off time will be in sync with schedules in the country, at 3:00 pm UAE time (7:00 pm PH time).
