Poll watchers figure in fistfight in Marawi City

Two poll watchers got into a fistfight inside a polling precinct in Marawi City during the midterm elections on Monday morning.

According to a report by GMA Integrated News’ Chino Gaston, the two poll watchers during the early voting hours had an argument.

The brawl reportedly started after a poll watcher not from their barangay entered the polling precinct. One of the involved poll watchers said he just retaliated after he was hurt.

To settle the issue, the Task Force Marawi and Philippine National Police personnel responded to the area and separated the two fighting poll workers.

The brawl in the polling precinct paused the casting of votes for around five minutes. —Joviland Rita/ VAL, GMA Integrated News
