Correct Answer: The people of the Philippines has voted


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

The word "people" can take a singular verb when it refers to a collective group or community as a singular entity rather than as individuals. Thus, in this case, the auxiliary verb "has" remains unchanged, and the definite article "the" should be used before the country name.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The people of the Philippines has voted to elect a new president.
