NAGA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The ongoing recount of contested ballots in the 2016 Vice Presidential elections is generating more questions than answers as to who is the legitimate winner between Bongbong Marcos and Leni Robredo.
First, there was the discovery of wet ballots. Then the mystery of missing audit logs.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Within hours after the start of the manual recount of contested ballots in the 2016 Vice Presidential race, the camp of Bongbong Marcos already noticed something unusual: the ballots from Leni Robredo’s bailiwick pf Camarines Sur were wet.
Immediately, there were speculations of tampering over the wet ballots, not to mention missing ballot audit logs.
But the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) swiftly came to Robredo’s rescue, saying that the ballot boxes in question may have been blessed with Holy Water by Catholic priests prior to being re-opened for the manual count.
The CBCP statement was suspicious considering that Robredo was seen at a church along with nuns and other Catholic supporters prior to the start of the Supreme Court recount.
It’s one of two things: there was a miracle, or there’s something fishy going on. We suspect the latter.
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The much-awaited and delayed manual recount of votes from contested precints in the 2016 Philippine Vice Presidential elections could face yet another delay.
Today, defeated VP candidate Bongbong Marcos filed a protest with the Presidential Electoral Tribunal (PET) asking that the recount scheduled for today be stopped.
The basis of Marcos’ protest was an announcement by the Supreme Court, acting as the PET, that the recount committees will be using the Comelec’s PCOS machines in the manual recount — the same questionable equipment that were suspected of tampering with the electoral count in 2016.
The camp of Vice President Leni Robredo was eerily silent on Marcos’ latest protest.
