[edit] Philippines' Block Voting Municipality
During the 2004 Philippine general election, in all the 34 precincts in the town, no one voted for the popular actor-turned-politician Fernando Poe, Jr., a Pangasinense from San Carlos City. Of the 6,737 registered voters in the town’s 10 barangays, 5,668 actually cast their votes in Monday’s polls but 5,470 voted for President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
This zero vote on the actor "ostracized" Santo Tomas from all the political units of Pangasinan, especially Bayambang, Malasiqui, Bautista, Alcala, Rosales, Villasis, Basista and the Cities of San Carlos and Dagupan.
