Administration standard-bearer Gilbert Teodoro, former Defense Secretary, was second to Estrada with 6,199 votes, while Senator Benigno Aquino III got 2,744 votes.

In the vice presidential race, Binay was followed by Senator Manuel Roxas with 4,583 votes and Bayani Fernando with 821 votes.

The certificates of canvass (CoC) from local absentee voting was one of those canvassed by Congress Friday.

In absentee voting, the manual system of casting votes was used. The participants were allowed to vote only for president, vice president, 12 senators and a party-list group.

Meanwhile, canvassing of CoC for Bahamas was deferred due to discrepancies in the total number of votes.
