I have seen some campaigners for candidates running for positions in the barangay elections on Monday but in Metro Manila, the Oct. 28 elections does not have the hoopla of the congressional, senatorial and presidential elections.

But it’s a different matter in the provinces, especially in the barrios, where the environment is much more intimate and emotions are much more intense.

Philippine Star reported that a total of 6,195 barangays or 14.74 percent of the 42,028 barangays nationwide were declared by the Philippine National Police as election watchlist areas .
