LUCENA CITY, Quezon- The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) and barangay officials have set up satellite registration offices in Lucena.
LUCENA CITY, Philippines—Vice President Jejomar Binay joined the trek of Lenten pilgrims to the mystical Mount Banahaw, a Quezon police official said Friday.


According to COMELEC Lucena City office headed by Atty. Joan Binoya Atienza, the creation of the 10 satellite registration offices aims to update the status of qualified voters residing in a particular barangay.
Senior Superintendent Valeriano de Leon, Quezon police chief, said Binay arrived in Dolores town on Maundy Thursday morning and went straight to the Our Lady of Sorrows parish where he prayed.


Updating of records determines if the voter is active or inactive or has been transferred from one barangay or municipality to another.
Shortly before noon, the Vice President accompanied by Dolores Mayor Renato Alillio Jr. motored to the compound of the religious cult “Suprema Dela Iglesia Del Ciudad Mystica De Dios” in the village of
Sta. Lucia and paid homage to its founder Suprema Isabel Suarez, said De Leon who also accompanied Binay.


COMELEC Lucena election assistant officer Julian Rodelas said they have updated voters’ records in Barangay Salinas on March 31 and Barangay Ilayang Talim on March 24.
Binay, who on Tuesday began preparing for his presidential run in 2016, also ate lunch at the religious compound.


Rodelas said the COMELEC is set to update voters’ records in Barangay Barra on April 14, Barangay Ransohan on April 28, Barangay Ilayang Dupay on May 5, Barangay Gulang-Gulang on May 12, Barangay Mayao Castillo on May 19, Barangay Talao-Talao on May 26, Barangay Silangang Mayao on June 2 and Barangay Ibabang Talim on June 9.
After lunch, Binay proceeded to the nearby village of Kinabuhayan and offered prayers in different sacred place at the base of the mountain, De Leon said.


The city COMELEC office also said an individual who is now 18 years old can also register in his or her respective barangay in Lucena City on the scheduled date of registration.
“The Vice President is very religious person,” De Leon told the Inquirer.


Meanwhile, registered voters who were not able vote for last two consecutive elections will be deleted in the master list of registered voters if they will not report or reactivate their names during the satellite registration. Female registered voters who have been married are also encouraged to report to the satellite registration offices to update or change their marital status. Correction of names of registered voters shall also be done in updating records of registered voters.
After his prayers, Binay went back in Sta Lucia and conferred with De Leon on the security measures for the protection and safety of mountain pilgrims, said De Leon.


Setting of satellite registration office is pursuant to COMELEC national office directive.
The Vice President also visited Banahaw during Holy Week last year.
 
Many religious believers would climb Banahaw, particularly during the Lenten season, believing it is inhabited by heavenly spirits.
 
Mount Banahaw, a traditional pilgrimage site for religious devotees and mountaineers, straddles the municipalities of Lucban, Tayabas, Sariaya, Candelaria and Dolores in Quezon and parts of the towns of
Rizal, Nagcarlan, Liliw and Majayjay and San Pablo City in Laguna.
 
Most of the 2,177-meter mountain, which spans an area of 11,133.30 hectares, remains restricted to the public until 2015.
 
Banahaw, which used to be visited by about half a million people during the Holy Week, was closed to the public since 2004 to allow areas damaged by slash-and-burn farming and littering to recover.
