MANILA, Philippines – With a voting population of around 1.8 million, Cavite is one of the Philippines’ vote-rich provinces.
Out of this population, around 66.87% or 1.2 million actually voted in 2013.
The province is a stronghold of the opposition. Although President Benigno Aquino III won in Cavite in 2010 with 492,328 votes, then Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay – standard bearer of the opposition United Nationalist Alliance – beat the administration’s bet Manuel Roxas II for the vice presidency by almost 200,000 votes. (WATCH: Will Binay win again in vote-rich Cavite?)
After 6 years of Aquino’s Daang Matuwid good governance promise, will Cavite remain a bailiwick of the opposition in the upcoming May polls?
