The First Time Voter
Going to your assigned polling precinct might take you awhile, after all this is your first time to vote. But, do not be afraid! There will be an "assistance desk" in every precinct. Just give the staff your name and they will tell you your sequence and precinct room number. A little trick to not get lost is to go to the precinct earlier so that you'll not only be the first in line, you will also be able to review the candidates you're voting for.

You have this feeling that the voting always starts later than the schedule, so you'd rather get some extra beauty sleep just to keep them eyebags from bulging! But hey, we're not judging or anything and feel free to take your time doing your make-up and curling your hair. But, do make sure to not make a scene once you got welcomed by the sweaty and overcrowded precinct, okay? And it's always better to get there early so that you can still do some shopping after voting! Sounds good, right?
The Open Noter
If there's anything that you won't forget bringing with you is your *kodigo* (cheat sheet) of candidates. We do feel you, though, because who can even remember all of their names — except for those candidates who made sure they become memorable by playing the most LSS-trigger (Last Song Syndrome) songs in their TV ads which make you hum it on your way to the precinct station? Girl/Dude, don't put your guard down! Focus on the best candidate.

The Pro
You go to your assigned precinct year after year in auto-pilot. You never get lost. You've memorized the name of your candidates (it's not really hard to choose, right?). You have snacks in your bag all the time just in case the voting won't start on its projected schedule (haaay #FilipinoTime). You always have something to read with you as well. But sometimes, playing Candy Crush is the best way to keep the boring idle time somehow "fun".

The Unregistered Voter
You have been doing social media efforts to promote and support your "ideal president". You shared the candidate's posts about his latest TV commercial, his poster promoting peace and alleviating poverty, his latest community project, your favorite quotations that the candidate said during the two-part presidential debate, and even the video showing the candidate dancing in front of the supporters…and yet, you are not a registered voter. But, hey, we don't see anything wrong with that as long as you think that the ideal candidate of yours is the best for the country — and not just because your crush says so.

The Closet Voter

You have never disclosed to anyone who you are voting for, but you know your ideal candidate by heart. Heck, you didn't even tell your mom and friends that you are a registered voter! You might be a closet voter, but it's not because you are afraid to defend your must-not-be-named candidate. You just wanted to keep your cool about the elections and vote for the candidate who deserves the position — without telling or opposing everyone about their preferred candidates. We do understand the feeling since we, too, are closet lovers of the Annoying Orange, really.
