SBEI Poll Clerk Mr. Ramir Fesalbon and SBRCG Chair Mr. Florentino Granada conducted the field voting activities along with providing consular services. The Embassy sent a team to Equatorial Guinea to ensure that overseas Filipino voters in EG are able to exercise their right to vote, after it has been made apparent that relying on postal services to deliver the electoral packets might result to disenfrachisement of our kababayans.
