<em>Bantay Bilang</em>, Namfrel Quezon City's operation quick count, is already picking up its pace.<br /><br />As of press time, 35 new volunteers have signed up today. <em>Bantay Bilang</em> Head for Media Relations Gita Luz (AB IS '07) expects that they would be able to reach their target of tabulating 70% of the city's election returns (ERs) by Sunday.</span></div><div align="justify"><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />Luz said that the number of volunteers increased due to the boost in their efforts to promote the project through text messaging. The message emphasized the urgency of having more volunteers to speed up the tabulation.<br /><br />Luz hopes that they would be able to contribute to hastening Namfrel's region-wide quick count. “The transmission [now] from the NCR is actually slow. [If] Quezon City, being a big city [in itself] has its votes tabulated faster, I think we would be able to help a lot in speeding up the quick count.”<br /><br />In the next eight hours, officers are anticipating more walk-in volunteers, as they consider the 4PM to 8PM and the 8PM to 12AM shifts as the peak of volunteer sign-ups.</span></div><div align="right"><br /><em><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Xianne S.

Training for shifts is also done on the spot to accommodate the need for more volunteers. “The priority is to streamline the system. We’re still moving at a very slow rate.”<br /><br />“Hopefully, <em>Bantay Bilang</em> can encode faster during the weekends, where we expect a surge of volunteers because it’s the students’ or workers’ free time,” she added.<br /><br />As of last night, 12% of the election returns (ERs) were encoded. Namfrel QC’s target is to tabulate 70% of the ERs by Sunday.<br /><br />For the next four hours, Namfrel QC will try to coordinate with Ateneo de Zamboanga University (ADZU) to help collate the tally of the ERs, Luz said.<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span></span></div><div align="justify"><div style="text-align: right;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><em><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Nikko Carlo A.
