Makati Comelec Office

Have you been to Comelec's Makati office? Been there twice to register as a Makati resident and everytime I  am inside their office I get the feeling that I am not at all in Makati but in a far-flung province where professionalism and cleanliness is not the order of the day.

 The comfort rooms are so in need repair. I think all the second floor are but the comfort rooms are much worse.

 The people who went there to register are made to wait outside when the office inside is big enough to accomodate at least 15 persons if only the arrangement of their table is done with customer service in mind.

I didn't know what to expect but it wasn't what I saw.  At least, I expected perhaps to see order and cleanliness. Not much diba ?

Went last friday afternoon to Comelec office at the 2nd floor of the Makati Fire Station building for the purpose of getting a voter's id as a requirement for the Yellow Card now that we are already residents.  I was surprised( not pleasantly!) that the offices on the second floor of the Fire Station building are shabby, especially the Comelec office.  In my mind, i didn't think there are still government offices  like that which is a far cry from the offices at Makati City Hall.  At the very least, they could have made the place well lighted, repaired the comfort rooms and somehow made the place a little bit welcoming.  In fairness, the employees immediately entertained me even though my reason for going there was not granted. By the way, why do the comelec has to wait for May to register new voters? It seemed like an antiquated practice.

But i digress, once again.  Mayor Junjun, at least make the comfort rooms clean, doors repaired, visitor friendly. Not like this. Me ganito pa din pala sa makati!
