Atty. Glenn Chong, nilinaw ang issue tungkol sa pagpapatigil ng SC sa retrieval ng ballots sa Iloilo City

PAGLILINAW

Wala akong nakikitang pagtutol ng kampo ni BBM sa mariing pagtutol ng kampo ni Robredo na kolektahin ng PET ang mga ballot boxes mula sa Iloilo City kasabay ng mga ballot boxes ng Iloilo Province.

Tama ang kampo ni Robredo na bilang independent chartered city, ang mga botante ng Iloilo City ay hindi bumuboto sa mga provincial officials ng Iloilo Province. In this regard, ang Iloilo City at Iloilo Province ay magkahiwalay na voting jurisdictions at may kanya-kanyang magkahiwalay na Certificate of Canvass.

Sa protesta mismo ni BBM, magkahiwalay ang paglista ng mga presinto ng Iloilo City at Iloilo Province. Ito ay pagkilala ng mga abogado ni BBM na magkahiwalay nga na voting jurisdictions ang dalawa.

Ang ibig lamang sabihin nito ay mauunang isailalim sa revision ang mga balota mula sa Iloilo Province bilang isa sa tatlong pilot provinces ni BBM. Kapag napatunayan ng kampo ni BBM na may significant recovery mula sa pilot provinces, itutuloy ang revision sa ibang pang natitirang protested provinces at cities ni BBM. Kapag umabot tayo sa puntong ito, doon lamang isailalim sa revision ang mga balota mula sa Iloilo City.

Ang temporary benefit lamang na makukuha ni Robredo sa objection niyang ito ay mababawasan ng 430 ballot boxes mula sa Iloilo City ang isailalim sa revision ngayon. Pansamantalang mabawasan din ang patuloy na pagbaba ng kanyang natitirang lamang dahil sa mga Yoda votes. Pansamantala lamang ito dahil rerebisahin pa rin naman ang mga balota mula sa Iloilo City at some future time. 

Kaya pinipigilan ito ng kampo ni Robredo ngayon dahil ang kanilang stratehiya ay mapigilan ang significant recovery ni BBM. Kung may significant recovery, tuloy ang protesta. Kung walang significant recovery, ibabasura ang protesta. Kaya kung mas kakaunti ang ballot boxes na mabuksan sa revision, mas kakaunti ang chance ng recovery (or discovery of Yoda votes, if you prefer). Ito ang target nila dahil gusto talaga nilang mahinto ang protesta pagkatapos ng 3 pilot provinces dahil kung magpatuloy ito, tiyak talo na si Robredo beyond salvation.

Pero sa mga malilikot ang isip, tiyak may ibang paliwanag sila kung bakit mariing tinututulan ng kampo ni Robredo ang pagkuha ng mga balota mula sa Iloilo City. Baka hindi pa tapos ang pagdoktor ng mga balota upang tumugma sa resulta ng makina kaya delaying tactic muna sila. Given what happened sa mga balota mula sa Camarines Sur, hindi natin sila masisisi.

Dagdag na paglilinaw…

Ayon sa report na ito, binabantayan diumano ng mga tauhan ni Robredo, lalong-lalo na si Emil Marañon III, dating Chief of Staff ni dating Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes, ang retrieval process ng mga ballot boxes upang hindi na muling magamit ng kampo ni BBM ang isyu ng mga sira at basang balota sa PR stunt nito. Ito ang malinaw na PR stunt ng kampo ni Robredo.

Hindi PR stunt ang isyu ng mga sira at basang balota dahil ito ay katotohanan o fact. Kinilala ito ng PET mismo ng magpalabas ito ng kautusan na magpaliwanag ang mga municipal treasurer na may custody sa mga sira at basang balota.

Dagdag pa ni Marañon, kampanteng-kampante ang kampo ni Robredo na kapag ibinalik sa 25% ang vote shading threshold, tutugma ang resulta ng mano-manong recount sa resultang iniluwa ng mga makina ng Smartmatic. 

Conveniently, iniiwasan talaga ng kampo ni Robredo na magpaliwanag kung bakit may marami siyang Yoda votes. Hanggang ngayon, walang ni isa sa mga alagad ni Robredo ang makapagpaliwanag ng maayos at convincingly kung bakit may marami siyang Yoda votes habang wala naman si BBM. 

No one from Robredo’s camp has effectively rebutted the argument that these Yoda votes are pre-shaded votes in her favor.

No one from Robredo’s camp has effectively rebutted the argument that the surreptitious 25% vote shading threshold of the Comelec and Smartmatic was intended to give her a fraudulent advantage over her competitors. ~ Atty. Glenn Chong

Bicol Peace and Order Council: PRRD tagging Naga City as ‘shabu hotbed’ backed up by data

Composite photo of President Rodrigo Duterte (grabbed from Inquirer) and RPOC chair and Legazpi Mayor Noel Rosa (photo from Legazpi govt site) Bicol Regional Peace and Order Council (RPOC) chairman and Legazpi City Mayor Noel Rosa believes that President Rodrigo Duterte’s tagging of Naga as a “shabu hotbed” was backed up by data and might have basis. Rosal said that it was not impossible for a major city to have the presence of illegal drugs.   “Hindi ako makakapagsabi kung totoo o hindi, pero ang masasabi ko lang dyan hindi imposible na may droga basta major cities. Everywhere you go, even in Legazpi, hindi ko yan pwede itago. Kaya nga continuous ang operations natin, as a matter of fact I would like to commend the PNP kasi we are moving forward na. Madami na tayong nahuli, not just small but big ones, almost more than 10 million na rin yung nakuha natin sa Legazpi,” Rosal said. He pointed out that President Duterte’s statement must be based on reports fr...
