News: Ebdane declared as Zambales governor

Three days after the country's first automated elections, the winning candidates of the gubernatorial and congressional slots in Zambales were declared. Hermogenes Ebdane Jr., former Public Works and Highways Secretary came victorious against Amor Deloso, who was seeking re-election as Zambales governor.

Mitos Magsaysay and Antonio Diaz, both re-elected representatives of the first and second districts of Zambales respectively, were also proclaimed.

The delay in the proclamation was attributed to transmission problems in several clustered precincts, as well as compact flash cards in four towns that were deemed defective.
