Philippines elections: Three shot dead, 15 wounded ahead of polls

Voting began on Monday in the Philippines' Muslim-majority south under heightened ​security after three people were killed and 15 wounded in violence on the eve of the historic election. The vote is ‌seen as a crucial test of efforts seeking to bring lasting peace and development to a region once torn by separatist conflict and extremism which peaked in the 2017 siege of Marawi City by Islamic State-linked militants.
