It took Senator Richard Gordon, author of the country's election automation law, some seven minutes to complete his ballot when he cast his vote on Monday morning.
He did not encounter any problems. The counting machine quickly accepted his ballot.
But Gordon, who is also running for president, said the conduct of the country's first automated election, which he said would be a "game changer," could have been better.
Gordon said: "I worked hard for this (automated election) for four and a half years. I know this will work."
He arrived with his wife Kate at the Tapinac Elementary School, where some 11,200 voters are assigned, about 10:20 a.m.
He got inside the voting room for Clustered Precinct No. 41 at 10:33 a.m.. He completed his ballot at 10:40 p.m.
