MANILA – Teachers who served additional hours as poll workers during the May 9 elections will receive an additional honorarium, according to the Commission on Elections (Comelec) on Monday.

In the "Laging Handa" press briefing, Commissioner George Garcia said the Comelec en banc has already approved the request "in principle."

A British nonprofit organization named English Heritage recently announced that they are attempting to gather 1,897 people dressed as a vampire in celebration of Dracula's anniversary.

According to English Heritage, their group will try to break the Guinness World Record for the biggest gathering of people to don vampire costumes on May 26 at Whitby Abbey which is a 13th-century Gothic convent.
