MANILA, Philippines - The first official votes fed into the Precinct Count Optical Scan (PCOS) in Hong Kong went to members of the Nacionalista Party (NP), led by its standard-bearer, Sen. Manuel "Manny" Villar Jr.
ABS-CBN correspondent Michael Vincent reported that the first votes were cast by Rowena dela Cruz, member of a migrant workers' group Migrante, at the Bayanihan Kennedy Center in Hong Kong.
Vincent said that according to Dela Cruz, he voted Villar for president and Sen. Loren Legarda for vice-president.
Dela Cruz told ABS-CBN's correspondent in Hong Kong that she voted Satur Ocampo and Liza Maza for senators. Both candidates are also running under the NP ticket.
Vincent said voting started at the Bayanihan Kennedy Center around 7 a.m..
He said several overseas Filipino workers stayed overnight at the center to make sure that they would be the first ones to participate in the Philippines' first automated elections.
Vincent said around 3,000 Filipinos are expected to troop to the center to cast their votes on Sunday.
He said members of the Philippine consulate in Hong Kong, led by Consul General Claro Cristobal, have also cast their votes.
The month-long overseas absentee voting (OAV) officially started on Saturday.
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is expecting more than half a million Filipinos abroad to participate in the OAV.
Those in Hong Kong and Singapore would be the only overseas Filipinos who will be able to use the PCOS machines. There are more than 126,000 Filipino voters in the 2 countries. – Report from Michael Vincent, dzMM

Mordor, you're right in
Mordor, you're right in saying Octopus should have instead chosen "talangka" as his Nick. But good in English? lol.
He's just an egocentric crab who does not know how to respect others' rights to suffrage. I, along with my family and ka-baranggays, will definitely NOT vote for Villar this coming election, but I respect those who still believe in the man.
So Octopus and et al, stop deriding the pro-villar voters. And please, PLEASE, don't ever add in your comments, who your bets are. You'll scare off the voters from voting for those candidates too.
ang galing naman ni octopus,
ang galing naman ni octopus, marunong lang mag-ingles nanlalait na ng kababayan nating migrante. kung wala sila, lubog na ekonomiya natin. mas bagay siguro sa iyo ang pangalang talangka
Reasons
Kung tatanungin mo sya bakit niya binuto si Villar I'm sure isasagot niya kasi si Villar ung galing sa mahirap naman naman. Okey naman sana ung ganoon sagot pero si Villar iboboto ko? Siguro kung hindi ko alam lahat na issue tungkol kay Villar at hindi ko napag analyze ung ugali at personalidad ni Villar iboboto ko cya. Pero ngaun sorry na lang cya ayoko ng tao takot sa mga kalaban niya sa politika...
what can you expect
to somebody like her ? Of course she will vote for the corrupt officials...they arre the ones who are day dreaming that someday, a villar presidency will take them away from being a maid... there is no harm in dreaming.... keep on dreaming lady... hehehe
