Comelec-Cebu supervisor lawyer Jerome Brillantes declared a recess as of 11 a.m. and said the Board of Canvassers (BOC) would resume its duties soon as the concerns on downed VCMs are addressed. "The two malfunctioned VCMs have been under repair at the Comelec repair hub, and are on their way back to Bogo City," Brillantes said. The chair of the BOC said they expected the results to be fully transmitted either late afternoon of Tuesday or in the evening. Based on partial, unofficial results as of 2:47 p.m. on Tuesday from 99.94 percent of election returns, incumbent Governor Gwendolyn Garcia won reelection with a whooping margin against her rival, former Tourism Secretary Ace Durano.
