Konperensia para nadalus, natalna nga eleksion, inggannuat dagiti obispo JPE: Corruption not part of Pinoy Culture Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile said yesterday that corruption was never part of the Filipino culture as he assailed the government’s lack of political will to prosecute grafters and corrupt officials, particularly those in high places.

A recent report by Hong Kong-based Political and Economic Risk Consultancy showed that the Philippines ranked fourth in terms of corruption among the 16 countries in Southeast Asia based on its survey of over 2,000 expatriate businessmen.

On a scale 0 to 10, with zero the best possible score and the lowest level of corruption among civil servants and

politicians, the Philippines scored 8.06. The three top corrupt countries, according to the survey, are Indonesia, Cambodia and Vietnam.

Deputy presidential spokesman Gary Olivar defended the government’s record. “Ang problema po ay nasa kultura natin ‘yan, hindi lang sa mga institusyon. Ito ay kultura sa pulitika at saka sa pamumuhay,” he said.

Enrile, however, said it was not true.

“Alam mo, wala naman sa kultura natin ang corruption,” said Enrile, a reelectionist under the Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP). “Noong panahon ko sa

Roxas, on the other hand, continued to enjoy the distinction of being the public figure with the highest trust among Filipino voters, with 70% of voters saying they have a "big trust" for him, with only 10% having "small/no trust" and the rest undecided.

Legarda's trust rating likewise went down to 58%, or a drop of 3% from her January trust rating.

Among the presidential candidates, former President Joseph Estrada came third, with 40%, followed by administration standard-bearer Gilbert Teodoro with 29%. Sen. Dick Gordon came next with a 25%

Binay: fight a la Garci United Opposition (UNO) vice presidential candidate and Makati Mayor Jojo Binay said yesterday that some groups were preparing to rig the May 10 balloting and asked the people to fight those who would attempt to cheat a la Garci.

Speaking over the radio in Cebu, Binay disclosed that his camp had received reports that their political opponents were readying the “cheating machines” to ensure the victory of their candidates.

“We have received reports… na may gagawa tala-

ga ng paraan para mandaya,” Binay said. “Ang masasabi lang namin ay hindi kami papayag na tayo ay magkaroon ng karanasan na a la Garci.

Sama-sama po kaming pupunta sa kalye at lalabanan ang pandaraya,” he added.

The Makati mayor was referring to the purported conversation between Presidential Gloria MacapagalArroyo and then Elections Commissioner Virgilio Garcillano to rig the 2004 elections that gave the chief executive a fresh mandate.

Noy, Mar most trusted 2010 candidates - Pulse Asia Liberal Party standard bearers Senators Benigno S. Aquino III and Mar Roxas are the candidates most trusted by Filipino voters among public figures and among all candidates running in the presidential and vicepresidential elections in May 10.

These are the findings of the latest Pulse Asia survey conducted from February 21 to 25 among 1,800 respondents, which also showed Aquino and Roxas topping voters' preferences for President and Vice President if elections were

held today.

Voters' trust for Nacionalista Party bets Senators Manuel Villar and Loren Legarda declined, with Villar suffering a double-digit drop despite the more than P1 billion he had spent on TV and radio advertisements since last year.

Aquino's high trust ratings is in contrast to Filipino voters' perception of Villar, whose trust ratings dropped by 11 percentage points to 59, from 70 in the January survey.

Pulse Asia said Aquino enjoyed the "big trust" of 64% of Filipino voters, making him

Reject permit-to-campaign fees, stop funding red war effort by paying PTCs - Lacson LP senatorial bet lawyer Alex “Pinoy” Lacson called on presidential candidates to reject any attempt by the communist New People’s Army (NPA) to extort payment for “permits to campaign,” saying that paying was tantamount to funding an insurgency that was costing a lot of lives and sets back development efforts in the past six decades.

A study by the Philippine Institute for Peace, Violence and Terrorism Research (PIPVTR) claims that communist rebels raised P1.5 billion during the 2004 elections and P2 billion in the 2007 elections from the permit-to-campaign fees.

“When candidates pay for these PTCs, they are not just paying for the right to campaign––they are funding an armed insurgency, paying for

the bullets that end the lives of those who have sworn to defend the Constitution: our soldiers.”

The author of the hit book “12 Things I Can Do To Help My Country,” who was a cadet at the Philippine Military Academy before studying law at the University of the Philippines, stressed that the EDSA Revolution showed that change could be achieved through non-violent means.

“The NPA took up arms and for years tried to topple Ferdinand Marcos; but it was the rosary-carrying people who peacefully rallied at EDSA who ended the Marcos dictatorship,” he said.

Lacson added that paying for the campaign permits only served to fuel Asia’s longest-

Saan a nagustuan dagiti opisial ti NHI ti medio nabuntog a panangkanta ni Pineda iti “Lupang Hinirang” ken nakarkaro manen ti misuotna idi kellaat a kimmalay-at ti tono ti singer idi dandanin agpinal ti kanta.

Kinuna ti NHI nga idi maammuanda a ni Pineda ti agkanta iti national anthem, pinatulodanda daytoy iti palagip iti tumutop a pannakakanta daytoy ken masapul nga awan ti balbaliwanna.

Imballaag pay ni Teddy Atienza, hepe ti Heraldy Section ti NHI, a no saan nga agpadispensar ni Pineda, mabalin a makasuan daytoy wenno mabalud.

Ngem kinuna ni Pineda nga inaramidna amin a kabaelanna a mangibagi iti pagilian iti panangkantana iti National Anthem.

“Iti biangko, inaramidko laeng ti artistiko a wayawayak,” kinuna ni Pineda sana innayon a ti napateg, kinantana ti national anthem kas Pilipino a mangibagi iti Pilipinas ken ni Pacquaio.

Kinapudnona, saan laeng a ni Pineda ti krinitikar ti NHI gapu iti maisupadi a bersionda iti pannakakanta ti National Anthem. Karaman ditoy da Jennifer Bautista, Geneva Cruz, Kyla, Ciara Sotto, Karille Tatlonghari, Sarah Geronimo, Martin Nievera ken dadduma pay a nalatak a kumakanta.

WITH THIS MLE TURN, NOW WE MAKE THE ROAD WHILE WALKING: OUR TASK AT NAKEM AND AT THE UH ILOKANO PROGRAM UNTIL 2015

By Dr. Aurelio Solver Agcaoili University of Hawaii The 2000 census of the Philippines places the number of Ilokanos at close to eight million people, close to twice the number of people of New Zealand. The New Zealanders the whole world knows; the Ilokanos the world barely recognizes. We must understand here that the Ilokano language is also a lingua franca in Northern Philippines so that the census number, at best, does not recognize the spread of this language in other places. In effect, we are more than what this census number tells us. Put in a record that about 90 percent of the Philippine population of Hawaii are Ilokano and Ilokanodescended and the historical language of the Philippine diaspora is Ilokano, we clearly have here a case of linguicide perpetrated by a force we call systemic miseducation. There is no culturally fair and linguistically just presence of Ilokano-mediated education for the Ilokanos and we know that that this is happening everywhere for all the other Philippine

languages.

Complicities and Struggles The Ilokano people in recent history have had an uneasy relationship with the homogenizing language and prodominant culture policies of the Philippine state. The history of our language struggle is replete with small victories and huge betrayals. All these have been grounded in the contradictions of our own narrative as a people and the grandiose contradictions of the narrative of our educational system and philosophy. It is the age-old dichotomy premised on fission, we are a nuclear particle ever willing to go the way of a social bomb.

We are ready to explode anytime.

But do not worry: we are a bundle of contradictions too—and this is also our problem.

One group of Ilokanos, sadly, wants to declare an end to their Ilokanoness by simply forgetting, in theory and practice, their Ilokano language. We have lots of these among teachers,

perhaps most of them. Just recently, we still practiced fining our Ilokano students for not speaking English or Tagalog. In our schools, the language that we know best is not—is never— allowed. It is illegitimate, as it is not honored, not respected, not recognized, and not dignified as it is a mere language of our homes. To think that our language is our way of beingmore-so, this is one end of the contradiction that we have to go through each day.

But these teachers have their own army of supporters, apart from the official sanctions of administrators.

We have a big number of these among our students, among our parents, among our community leaders. And some of these have so much power they have demonized the few advocates of the Ilokano language in the school system. They have turned them into opponents of nationalism, into violators of the Philippine Constitution, and worse,

MARCH 22-28, 2010 SUNDAY MARCH 28, 2010 Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion Ps 22:8-9, 17-18, 19-20, 23-24 My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?

1st Reading: Is 50:4-7 The Lord Yahweh has taught me so I speak as his disciple and I know how to sustain the weary. Morning after morning he wakes me up to hear, to listen like a disciple. The Lord Yahweh has opened my ear. I have not rebelled, nor have I withdrawn. I offered my back to those who strike me, my cheeks to those who pulled my beard; neither did I shield my face from blows, spittle and disgrace. I have not despaired, for the Lord Yahweh comes to my help. So, like a flint I set my face, knowing that I will not be disgraced.

2nd Reading: Phil 2:6-11 Though Christ Jesus was in the form of God, he did not regard equality with God as something to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking on the nature of a servant, made in human likeness, and in his appearance found as a man. He humbled himself by being obedient to death, death on the cross.

That is why God exalted him and gave him the Name which outshines all names, so that at the Name of Jesus all knees should bend in heaven, on earth and among the dead, and all tongues proclaim that Christ Jesus is the Lord to the glory of God the Father.

Gospel: Luke 23:1-49* Pilate asked Jesus “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus replied, “You said so.” Turning to the chief priests and the crowd, Pilate said, “I find no basis for a case against this man.” ... Finding the accused to come under Herod’s jurisdiction, Pilate sent Jesus over to Herod who happened to be in Jerusalem at that time. Herod was delighted to have Jesus before him now; ... He piled up question upon question, but got no reply from Jesus. ... Finally, Herod ridiculed him and with his guards mocked him. And when he had put a rich cloak on him, he sent him back to Pilate. ... Pilate then called together the chief priests and the elders before all the people, and said to them, “You have brought this man before me and accused him of subversion. In your presence I have examined him and found no basis for your charges. And neither has Herod, for he sent him back to me. It is quite clear that this man has done nothing that deserves a death sentence. I will therefore have him scourged and then release him.” ...but they shouted back, “To the cross with him! To the cross! ...

So Pilate decided to pass the sentence they demanded. He released the man they asked for, the one who was in prison for rebellion and murder, and he delivered Jesus in accordance with their wishes.

Reflections “This is my body which is given for you.”

The ultimate Christian act is to risk our own comfort, convenience or even life for the sake of others. We recognize it when we see it in service personnel. We too often forget that we are called to do the same thing ourselves, everyday of our lives. (Daily Gospel 2010, CLARETIAN PUBLICATIONS)

TI TAGAPULOT ITI KULTURA NI ILOKANO Sinurat ni Imelda Castro-Rivero (UMUNA ITI DUA A PASET) Agsubli manen ti panagayat iti tagapulot, nupay adu latta met dagiti pada nga Ilokano a saan a makalipat a gumatang iti tagapulot ta daytoy ti kaimasan a pagkalti iti tugi wenno kamotit ken pangluto iti bukayo a niog. Iti biangmi, naim-imas nga amang dagitoy a taraon no tagapulot ti pangpasam-it.

Tagapulot iti kultura ni Ilokano Nupay malipatanen ti tagapulot kadagiti dadduma a barangay ditoy Kailokuan iti panagdur-as ti moderno a tiempo, ti panagaramid iti daytoy ti maysa kadagiti kapipintasan a parte ti kultura ni Ilokano. Kas kaniak, diakto malipatan dagidi nararagsak nga aldaw ti kinaubingmi no tiempo idi ti panagluto da lelong kada lelang iti tagapulot

iti kasla higante nga anawang (dakkel a siliasi). Iti asideg ti paglutuan, adda ti dadapilan nga agngarngariet a mangpespespes ti tubbog ti unas nga iyusokda. Nagsam-it ti garikgik ti agay-ayus a tubbog ti unas manipud iti dapan ti pagdadapilan. Kalpasan ti sumagmamano nga oras, matuyutoykamin nga ubbing nga agitaya iti ubbak ti saba a pangikabilanda iti caramelized sugar. No agbaawto bassiten, binna-binnatenmi daytoy ket manipud iti kolor gatas, agbaliw ti kolorna a golden brown.

Pormaenmi a kasla numero 8.

Dayta ti makunkuna a balikutsa.

Nakasamsam-it ti angot ti kalutluto a tagapulot a nakaikabil kadagiti dadakkel a labba iti sagpat ti ngato a salas ti kadaanan a balay da lelangko.

Pagaayatmi a mapan pilien dagiti saan a narunaw a taga-

pulot, aglalo dagitay kasla babassit a koriendo. Nagimas a paglaokenmi ti tagapulot ken pulbos a gatas sami ikabil iti nadalus a kasla apa a papel, wenno kutsaraenmi manipud tasa.

Immadu manen ti aggatang ti tagapulot Kadagitoy a tiempo a manmanon dagiti agdapdapil ken aglutluto iti tagapulot, maragsakankami ta nagsubli manen ti kinapateg daytoy iti Pilipinas ken iti ballasiw-taaw gapu iti panagsapul dagiti tattao kadagiti nasalun-at a taraon. Nasalun-at a pangpasam-it iti makan ti tagapulot.

Segun iti salaysay ni Angel Basbasan, kas insuratna para iti Science and Technology Media Service, agipatpatulod ti probinsia ti Antique iti Visayas

iti 150 metro tonelada a tagapulot iti tinawen. Daytoy ti mangipakita nga umad-adu manen dagiti aggatang iti tagapulot.

Inreport met ti Department of Trade and Industry a nagpangato ti maipatpatulod a tagapulot iti sabali a pagilian manipud iti 405 tonelada a tagapulot idi 1997 iti 1,186 tonelada idi 2006. Maiyekeksport dagitoy a tagapulot iti Japan, Germany, Italy, France, South Korea, United States, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia ken Canada.

Nagbalin a major export product ti tagapulot idi tawen 1800s ngem gapu iti panangisangpet dagiti Amerikano iti moderno a pagpaaramidan iti napudaw nga asukar, bimmaba a bimmaba ti panaggusto dagiti tao iti tagapulot.

PANAGIBALES: MANTO TI NASIMBENG A PANUNOT Ni Tatang Lakay (UMUNA ITI DUA A PASET) Ref. Mat 5:38-42 Nabartek iti maysa a malem ni Angkuan a naggawid manipud iti maysa a pasken. Iti sungaban ti purokda, nalabsanna ti dua a lalaki a dimsaag iti kalesa. Dagiti suspetsa a nangpatay iti kabsatna a ni Tony idi kanikalima a tawen.

Nagtupa ti sangi ni Angkuan. Nabayag a naglemmeng dagiti dua kalpasan ti pammapatay. Nadismis ti kaso maikontra kadakuada agsipud ta awan ti timmakder a saksi.

Ita, nagsublin dagiti dua. Ipagarupda siguro a naikupinen ti kaso maikontra kadakuada.

Ngem kemkemkemen pay laeng ni Angkuan ti pungtot iti barukongna. Aglalo ita ta nalaokan iti arak ti darana.

Apagserrek ni Angkuan iti balayda, linuktanna ti lakasa a

nakaidulinan ti paltogna. Inkasana sana kinalbit. Saan a naglati ti paltog ta masansan a dalusanna.

Impakbona ti karton a naglaon iti bala sana kinargaan ti magasin ti paltog.

Naglagaw ni Iniang nga asawana idi makitana ti araramidenna.

“Apay dayta, Angkuan?” sinaludsod ni Iniang.

“Patayek ida! No pinatayda ti kabsatko, patayek met ida!

Kimat laeng ti di mabales!” inradies ni Angkuan.

“Agpanunotka koma, Angkuan. Saan a dayta panagibalesmo ti panunotem no di ti masakbayan dagiti annakmo!” kinuna ni Iniang.

Ngem, nalaokanen iti arak ti dara ni Angkuan. Saanen a simrek kenkuana ti panagpakaasi ni Iniang nga asawana.

“Ita met laeng, ipaalnawko ida iti kataltalonan! kinuna ni

Angkuan.

Nagkalumbitin ni Iniang ken dagiti annakna nga agtawen iti uppat ken dua iti takiagna.

Nagrungaab dagiti ubbing.

Ngem inwalin ni Angkuan ida.

Uray la nagranatrat ti kawayan nga agdan iti panagdalagudogna nga immulog..

Insalikad ni Angkuan ti paltog idinto a sinurotna ti bitang nga agturong iti sungaban ti purok a nakasirpatanna kadagiti nangpatay iti kabsatna.

Nalabsanna dagiti kasinsinna iti tianggi ni Baket Kulasa. Dagus a simmurot dagitoy idi inayabanna ida.

Kabayatanna, timmaray ni Iniang iti balay da katuganganna a lalaki nga adda laeng iti dayaen ti balayda. Dinagdagus ti lakay ti immulog sana dinagas ti kaanakanna a polis.

Ngem naladawen idi makagtengda iti sungaban. Nadalupon ti dua a suspetsa a nangpatay

iti kabsat ni Angkuan iti paraanganda, nadigosda iti bukodda a dara.

Uray la nagkusaykusay ni Iniang iti leddaangna...

Naatake met ti katuganganna a lalaki ket saanen a nabigatan iti ospital a nakaitarayanna.

Tiniliw dagiti polis ni Angkuan. Naibalud. Adda timmakder a saksi kontra ken ni Angkuan. Kalpasan ti makatawen, nasentensiaan ni Angkuan a mabalud iti tungpal biag. Nababbaba ti sentensia dagiti dua a kasinsinna.

Idi maipan ni Angkuan iti Munti, nakalua idi awan ti namalubos kenkuana. Nakarikna iti panagbabawi iti inaramidna ngem ania pay ti maaramidna? Nautobna nga awan ti mamaay ti panagibalesna. Awan ti naitedna nga imbag iti pamiliana, nangruna iti masakbayan dagiti annakna.

Imposible a dagitoy nakaduldulpet nga agpalpalama iti sangona ti pagtaudan ti banglo.

“Mangankayon, ina…”

“Agkararagtayo pay ngarud, barok. Dumawattayo iti bendision kadaytoy taraon nga inyupresermo…”

Tinung-edanna ti babai. Iti panagsabat dagiti mata dagiti dua, kasla nakarikna ti lalaki iti lamiis a kasla nagwaras iti bagina – kadagiti laslasag ken kadagiti ur-uratna. Lamiis a sumsumaen ti mugingna itan ti kinakarkarna a mariknana.

Kasla nakarikna iti bileg.

Simmaranta. Kasla rimmagsak.

Dina maawatan ti bagina. Ti minulmolan ti mugingna: agbagtit kadin?

Nagparintumeng ti ina sa nanguros. Pinagdippitna dagiti dakulapna sana indennes iti barukongna, nagdumog ket nagtanamitim. Nakaparintumeng met ti ubing, nagdippit dagiti dakulapna a nakaden-

Mangngeg ti lalaki ti nakapsut ken naalumamay a kararag ti ina ngem di simmurot. Kararag iti kinaadda koma ti bendision iti taraon a pagsasanguanda, ti bendision a para iti lalaki a di nagpaidam a nangiyupreser iti taraon.

Nangan ti ina ken ti ubing.

Binuya laeng toy lalaki ti pannangan dagiti agina. Uray idi piliten ti ina a mangan, di nangan ti lalaki. Di ammo toy lalaki no apay a kasla napukaw a naminpinsan ti bibisinanna.

Dina maawatan.

Nalpas dagiti agina. Napidut amin a murkat sa naisakmol.

Kalpasanna, nanguros ken nagkararag manen ti babai ket nagyaman iti taraon nga impaunegda. Awan ti milat ti asul a langit a makita toy lalaki. Saanna metten a marikna ti dagaang.

Nagsuyaab ti ubing. Nagilad. Nagpungananna dagiti takiagna. Immisem ti babai a nangtaliaw iti lalaki.

Timmakder ti lalaki. Nagpakada.

“Sadino ti papanam, barok?”

“Innak sapulen ni Patay, Bai…” kunana, ngem dina maawatan ti bagina no apay a naisawangna dayta.

“Bendisionannaka koma ti Dios, anak…”

BINAY: FIGHT... (From page 1) The Commission on Elections’ lack of preparation to conduct the country’s first computerized balloting, the poll body’s tainted reputation because of the counting irregularities in the 2004 elections and the power outages in Mindanao had also caused serious concerns among several groups, including the business sector, fearing that these factors could undermine the integrity of the electoral exercise.

Gun ban violators reach 100 CAMP BGEN OSCAR M FLORENDO — The Police Regional Office 1 here has reported that violators of the election gun ban have breached the century mark two months after the prohibition was enforced at the start of the election period last January 10.

The PRO1 said that based on its record, the number of gun ban violators has reached 101 as of March 15, 2010 which included 97 civilians, 2 members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), one Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) member, and one from other law enforcement agencies (LEAs).

Significantly, no PRO1 personnel was reported to have violated the gun ban to date.

PRO1 also confiscated 63 firearms, 667 gun replicas and 38 bladed weapons since the start of the election period.

PRO1 is strictly enforcing the Comelec rules particularly on the gun ban in keeping with the marching orders of Police Director General Jesus Verzosa, chief of the Philippine

National Police.

Police personnel found violating the ban face termination from the service while their immediate superiors will be investigated.

Last December, the Comelec issued Resolution 1814 which recalled the permits of all gun holders, including private individuals acting as security aides of politicians. The ban does not cover members of the police, the military and other law enforcement agencies who are on duty and in their agency-prescribed uniform.

The directive is intended to minimize violence during the campaign period leading to the May 10 polls.

There are 192 local candidates in Region 1 who have filed applications for security escorts before the Regional Joint Security Control Center located at the Masigasig Center here.

Meanwhile, PRO1 continues to conduct intensified checkpoint operations in the whole region as part of its preparations to ensure Honest, Orderly, and Peaceful Elections (HOPE) this year.#

MLE AT THE TURN... (From page 2) into ‘miseducators’ for prohibiting us from exploring what our languages can offer us to mediate our act of reading the word and our act of reading the world with our students.

This leads us to another group that tries as much as it can to hold onto what is left of the vague traces of Ilokano language that, in the near future, if something drastic and revolutionary is not done, will end up like our kur-itan, our way of writing.

This group is a bundle of contradictions too: they espouse cultural democracy when what is needed is remitting the dollar and the dinar to prop up the flailing Philippine economy.

Its members talk about cultural heritage rights when our uninformed political leaders tell us to speak English the way English-speaking peoples in foreign lands do so

that we can have our service contracted to Englishspeaking new lords and new masters—and there, in these foreign lands, we can start to dream about the good life away from all the country that has given us so much sorrow.

They talk about writing the literature of our people when the more current literature is about the exploits of Jake in Na’vi-land in that technofireworks but empty movie called Avatar. Among the Ilokanos, many of them go gung-ho on the latest but do not care a whit about the latest poem in Ilokano even if this poem is about their history of capitulation and cooptation with the dark forces of Martial Law and the dictatorship that came after.

And these people are not afraid to write in the Ilokano language and lend their names to spearhead a renaissance of Ilokano writing.

JPE: CORRUPTION... (From page 1) gabinete… may corruption din noon pero nasa itaas. Sa ibaba, walang korapsyon at nasusugpo namin.”

The veteran legislator said the present administration had done so little in fighting corruption and its lack of political will to enforce the laws against graft and corrupt practices had failed to put perpetrators behind bars.

“Ang korapsyon lang noon ay sa Bureau of Customs pero ngayon medyo laganap na,” the Senate chief told a radio interview.

Since her ascent to power nine years ago, Arroyo and the First Family have been linked to various scandals involving kickbacks to bribery, including the aborted $329-million National Broadband Network contract forged with ZTE of China that was reportedly overpriced by $130 million, the P728-million fertilizer fund scam

which was given to favored officials at the time when Arroyo was seeking a fresh mandate, and the controversial $503-million NorthRail mass transit project, among others.

Last January, Renaud Meyer, country director of the United Nations Development Program, told a forum that tackled corruption in the Philippines that close to P2 billion was lost to corruption every year. A more recent estimate, he said, placed the cost of corruption at 20 percent of the national budget in contrast with the 16 percent earmarked for edu-cation and 4 percent for health.

“Marami na tayong batas.

Kailangan lang mapairal, maimplement at ikulong ang dapat ikulong lalung-lalo na ‘yung mga malalaking lider, malalaking empleyado ng gobyerno na gumagawa ng katiwalian,” Enrile said.#

BINAY: FIGHT... (From page 4) Comelec, ako po ay natatakot na baka tayo ay magkaroon ng failure of elections dahil malakas din po ang pagnanasa, pagnanais ng iilan na magpatuloy sa ating pamahalaan sa pamamagitan ng failure of elections,” Binay explained.

The UNO presidential bet also urged the people to be vigilant against poll cheats, saying that computerized balloting does not guarantee a

clean and honest election.

“Marami po kasing expectations sa automation na nakakalimutan na ang automation ay para lamang po mapadali ang pagbibilang… at hindi na tayo naghihintay ng linggo o buwan para malaman kung sino ang nanalo. Kaya ‘yung mga pandarayang gagawin bago bumoto… naririyan pa rin po ‘yan,” Binay said.”#
