MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In a Vlog interview with Bb. Maharlika, Smartmatic critic Glenn Chong says that deep in his heart, he knows there was cheating in the 2022 Philippine Presidential Elections.

Well, he didn’t really say who cheated whom, but in an ambush interview with Chong, he told The Adobo Chronicles that Smartmatic cheated by pumping up the number of votes of Leni Robredo.

It will be recalled that Bongbong Marcos won overwhelmingly and convincingly with 31 million votes compared to Robredo’s 15 million.

Chong said Smartmatic pumped up Robredo’s numbers to save itself from criticism about how it has conducted previous elections

Leni’s actual total votes was actually just 5 million and Marcos’ was 41 million!

Chong said Smartmatic chose to pump up Robredo’s numbers to give more credibility to the elections. “It would have been unbelievable if Leni only got 5 million votes. It would invite a slew of election protests and would cast serious doubts on the poll results,” he said.
