MANILA, Philippines – San Pedro is now a component city of Laguna, after voters approved its conversion in a plebiscite on Saturday, December 28.

A total of 16,996 registered voters wrote “Yes” on the ballot while only 869 voted “No” to the question: “Do you approve of the conversion of the municipality of San Pedro, province of Laguna into a component city of the same province, pursuant to Republic Act 10420 dated March 27, 2013?”

However, those that trooped to polling precincts on Saturday are only 11.1% of the 160,777 registered voters in the newly-proclaimed city.

The Commission on Elections released the plebiscite results on Sunday.
