MANILA (AFP): Millions of Filipinos braved long lines and soaring temperatures Monday to vote in a mid-term election seen as choosing sides in an explosive feud between President Ferdinand Marcos and impeached Vice President Sara Duterte.
With temperatures hitting 34 degrees Celsius (93 Fahrenheit) in some places, George Garcia, head of the Commission on Elections (Comelec), said some voting machines were "overheating".
