MANILA, Philippines – The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has completed the election tally and released final, official results ahead of proclamation of senators to be held at 10 am today, May 22, 2019 as well as the winning party-list groups at 7pm.

The first proclamation had been tentatively scheduled on Sunday but was reset on Tuesday. But on Tuesday, the Comelec announced that the proclamation will not push through on the day; instead, it was moved to Wednesday because the poll body was still tallying the election returns from Saudi Arabia and waiting for the election returns from Washington.

Cynthia Villar led the final tally with 5,283,727 votes. Grace Poe came in second place with 22,029,788 votes and Christopher "Bong" Go followed with 20,657,702 votes.

MANILA, Philippines – Angel Locsin is one of the staunch supporters of Neri Colmenares who is actually her cousin; Angel’s real name is Angelica Colmenares. But this gained her some flak from netizens, especially because the left-wing politician is considered by many as part of the communist groups that are always going against the government.

Photo credit: Instagram / Angel Locsin

Many believe Colmenares and his group belong to the New People’s Army (NPA) but instead of staying in the mountains to rebel against the government, they are supposedly ‘fighting’ for their cause in the city.

For this reason, Angel got involved in a bitter war of words on Twitter with a Pinay doctor based in Singapore. Screenshots of their conversation were shared by Fashion Pulis.

Photo credit: Fashion Pulis

“Dear Ms. Angel Locsin, Artista ka. Doctor ako. FYI lang. Please take time to know your Philippine history very well. Your whining here on twitter is so embarrassing. Walang laman eh. NpA sprouted because of the liberal party whom you're defending. Go to the mountain 4 u to know,” wrote the doctor with Twitter handle @donnz_MD.

But Angel had a quick retort to this.

“Bat hindi ho kayo ang mamundok ng makatulong pa ho kayo sa mga lugar na malayo ang ospital kesa ho gamitin nyo pa ho yung oras nyo sa pag tweet sa akin? Inaano ko po ba kayo, ma'am para magalit ka ng ganyan?” the actress wrote.

Photo credit: Fashion Pulis

The doctor claimed that she hails from Eastern Samar where there are plenty of NPAs, but Angel fired back that she is often in the mountains.

“Lagi po ako sa bundok. :) maganda na maramdaman mo na malawak ang mundo at napaliit lang natin. Very humbling. Try nyo rin po at mukhang kailangan nyo po, Doc.:)” Angel told the doctor.

Photo credit: Fashion Pulis

@donnz_MD mocked the actress, insinuating that Sagada and the Blue Mountains don’t count. She would also call the actress as an ‘empty can’ who is too noisy but has nothing inside.

Photo credit: Fashion Pulis

Angel did not let this pass, saying the doctor should have known better and be responsible instead of being arrogant.
