Partly to do with that.
The Polling Days for the Elections is over 5 days from 9-13th May 2013.
There is a ban on the consumption of alcohol on these days. However, this year's ban is different from the previous bans imposed. Previously the ban only applies to Filipino citizens and cover outdoor public places so the bars were still allowed to serve alcohol to foreigners. This coming ban applies to ALL regardless of locals or foreigners. So that means if you go bar hopping, the bars can only serve you non-alcoholic drinks.
2ndly, all available security personnel (police, military, barangay vigilantes) have been reassigned to Election duties for that period so crime is expected to soar and everyone is advised to take extra precautionary measures to safeguard themselves and their property. To put it simply.... it means there will not be any policemen on patrol for crime duties.
