More than 54 million Filipinos began casting their votes in polling centers across the country on Monday to pick a new president.
Five candidates are vying for the presidency to succeed Benigno Aquino III, whose six-year term ends on June 30.
Besides electing a new president, voters will also be choosing candidates for vice president, hundreds of lawmakers and around 18,000 local officials.
