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

Duterte arrives in Japan for 4-day visit

Photo from Google Images President Rodrigo Duterte safely arrived in Tokyo for his third official visit in Japan on Tuesday night. Duterte's plane touched down at Haneda International Airport at 8:52 p.m. (local time). He was accompanied by 16 Cabinet members and some 200 delegation. Philippine Ambassador to Tokyo Jose Laurel V earlier said that this could be a "reward" for Duterte's Cabinet officials after the favorable results of the midterm elections to the administration. Laurel, however, clarified that the trip was "not a junket." Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea said each Cabinet official in the delegation has trade missions to accomplish. The President is set to spend time with Japanese businessmen on Wednesday and the Filipino community there on Thursday. Duterte is scheduled to hold talks with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and will speak at the 25th International Conference on The Future of Asi...

Another problem of PNoy that Duterte’s solving: The 11-M undone license plates

Former President Noynoy Aquino, The Land Transportation Office plate making facility and President Rodrigo Duterte. Image combined credit to PhilStar, Atimes.com It was controversial at the time, the newly proposed and designed license plates of the administration of former President Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Aquino III. Yet due to illegalities with the contract that Aquino had with the Dutch-Filipino Consortium PPI-JKG Philippines Inc. which didn’t pay taxes, the Supreme Court, on June 14, 2016, halted the release of license plates. How much did the consortium owe the government in taxes? P40 million! This and related photos are posted in the FG pages of Top Gear PH This irresponsibility lead to the hold up of the release of the plates which reached almost 2 years. But with the Supreme Court lifting the halt order on January 2018, 700,000 license plates are destined to be distributed by the Land Transportation Office (LTO). DOTr and LTO have started the ...

Forbes news journalist: Australia produces dirtiest players in NBA

Photo from  Zimbio.com News writer and commentator Mitch Lawrence through an article written for Forbes, said that if there is one thing Australia is good for when it comes to NBA, it would be exporting dirty players. The journalist named a few players, one of which is Matthew Dellavedova, the Cleveland Cav’s third-year reserve guard, who was voted as the league’s dirtiest player in a poll by the Los Angeles Times. n a game against Golden State in Cleveland, Dellavedova secured 13 votes, largely off last season’s playoffs, when he became embroiled in several controversial plays during the Cavs’ run to the Finals. Another Aussie finished in the top three. Golden State center Andrew Bogut finished with five votes. Sandwiched in between the Aussies is Oklahoma City center Steven Adams, from New Zealand, who got seven votes. “So what the heck is going on Down Under – and nearby in the land of the Kiwi, anyway?” The journalist quoted said Sixers coach Brett Brown...
