School's window frames taken out for Noynoy coverage

TARLAC CITY, Tarlac – In anticipation of the heavy media coverage on Sen. Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III when he casts his votes on Monday, officials on Sunday took out the window frames of the polling precinct where the leading presidential aspirant will vote. The captain of Brgy. Central and the officer-in-charge of the Central Azucarrera de Tarlac Elementary School agreed to take out the window frames after photographers complained they wouldn't be able to get good shots of Aquino if they will not be allowed inside the polling precinct. The school's OIC, Yolly Santiago, said the room was repainted and rearranged just for the elections. "Pininturahan ito, inayos (This was repainted, reorganized)," she said. Aquino's staff will pay for the re-installation of the window frames after the elections, she added. Aquino is not the only one who will vote in the said precinct, said Brgy. Captain Edgardo Aguas. The candidates for mayor of Tarlac City and congressmen of the province's second district will also vote there, said Aguas, who was clad in yellow, Aquino's political color. Aquino was congressman of Tarlac's second district, which covers Tarlac City, for three terms before he was elected senator in 2007. Tarlac, the home province of both the Cojuangcos and the Aquinos, has over half a million registered voters. —Johanna Camille Sisante/KBK, GMANews.TV
