The DFA is overseeing OAV in 93 foreign posts.
4,141 overseas Filipinos have so far cast their votes in the overseas absentee voting in 93 embassies and consulates of the Philippines, according to a report by the Department of Foreign Affairs.
The number is still very low. It is just 0.7 percent of a total of 589,830 registered overseas absentee voters for the May 2010 elections.
Overseas absentee voters may vote for president, vice president, 12 senators and one partylist representative.
In a statement, the DFA bared the list of top ten foreign posts in terms of the number of overseas absentee voters who have cast their votes either through postal ballots, personal voting or through automated voting. The latter is available only in Singapore and Hong Kong.
