Australia, U.K. praise peaceful presidential elections in Philippines

Australia and the United Kingdom praised the Philippines Wednesday for the smooth conduct of its first-ever automated polls as both governments noted the significant drop in election-related violence in the country.

While waiting for the official proclamation of winners in the national level, Ambassador Rod Smith said Australia expects an orderly transition of power.
