MANILA, Philippines—Anticlimactically, Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III and Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay emerged winners in the country’s first automated elections.
Aquino and Binay got the most votes for president and vice president, respectively, on Tuesday as Congress, sitting as National Board of Canvassers, completed the canvass of 278 certificates of votes after eight days.
The joint committee will prepare a report for approval of lawmakers when they convene in a joint session at 2 p.m. Wednesday to proclaim Aquino and Binay.
Aquino garnered 15,208,678 votes against closest rival, former president Joseph Estrada, who got 9,487,837 votes or a difference of 5,720,841 votes.
