The poll body approved a resolution allowing registered voters in embo barangays to vote for representatives in Taguig's two legislative districts, Comelec Chairman George Garcia said at a press conference yesterday.
Garcia said voters from three barangays would vote in the first district of Taguig. Voters from seven other barangays would vote for the second congressional district.
He said the poll body adopted a similar resolution approved by the Senate, House of Representatives and the city government of Taguig.
"This is to prevent disenfranchisement of voters from the embo barangays," Garcia said.
Alan Peter Cayetano previously figured in a near brawl over a resolution allowing the embo residents to vote for their representatives in Congress.
