If you have been watching the news you know that someone allegedly from Comelec came out claiming electoral fraud. He was named Koala Bear by Locsin and this name caught on. The Comelec said that they suspect that a losing presidential candidate is behind it. Do you believe the Comelec or do you think Koala Boy is telling the truth? Care to venture a guess as to who the backer of Koala Boy is? Why do you suspect this person?

I really do not know anything about it because Robin himself is hiding so no one can ever know who he really is and who is behind everything behind this scandal. Comelec may be true or might as well be covering up their tracks by accusing someone. The only thing that could really shed light into all of this is Robin himself. If he is brave enough to show himself and pinpoint who is behind all of these bruhaha.

Aren't you even a bit curious? I am not really interested in the identity of Robin himself since it is obvious that he is not a Comelec employee as he claims. I am curious though as to why he would do this if there is nothing in it for him. I feel that if we get to the bottom of this Robin thing all those sore losers will think twice before raising hell.

I have the same feeling. He is actually free to do anything because nobody knows him except the person who presumably funded his coming out party. In the news today was the finger-pointing and the denials of politicians as to who is behind the Koala Boy. Some say its Ermita, Gonzales, Puno, Madrigal...as you can they are all losers so if they come out and admit that they were behind this, then they would be laughed at and would truly be branded as sore losers. :-)

It's hard to know who's telling the truth especially if it concerns politics. But i can only surmise that it's those who want to people to cast a doubt in the last elections. If Robin really is telling the truth why don't they just arrest him? why all these questions when all they have to do is unmask the whistle blower and sue him for election fraud? but i guess, he would be very well protected since i guess the people behind him have the capability to hide him. Which shows that there's a possibility that Malacanang is behind it. Or a losing candidate who is equally rich. From the way things are going, i don't know whose telling the telling the truth. It's more like a telenovela unfolding where the viewers are at the edge of their seats not knowing what will happen next.

I think Robin was never presented physically in Congress in case the congressmen might think of unmasking him, accidentally or on purpose. I think the person behind Robin was trying to sense how the people would react. I think if there were people who would support him, he would come out. As it is, all he got were ridicules and a name which is not particularly appealing.

This guy is up to no good in the beginning. That's for sure. Even if they can prove that they've been successful in cheating in the elections it can't change the fact that they did it and that is malicious enough. The purpose of having an automated elections is to eliminate cheating when ballots are counted. There was no contest whatsoever that those who can successfully do it will be rewarded. people should be outrage by their act because we are dealing with computers, anyone who has sufficient knowledge in that field can always find a way around the system.

That's one way of looking at it. After committing such a dastardly act, he cannot even face the nation and admit his wrongdoing. How will you believe him if he cannot even show you his face?

I actually don't really care about this Koala Bear. I don't know whether he is telling the truth or not but what I know is that he is coward and he should rather just shut up if he is not brave enough to face the consequence of his actions. Who would ever trust a man who can't even show his face. If a man who can't look straight on the eyes can't be trusted how much more a man who is talking without a face. And by the way, Teddy Boy Locsin is a bad loser. He has stained his good image by the way he handled the situation. He was cursing and was hot-tempered all along and that made me so disappointed with this man who once created a very dignified and respectable image as a media-man turned congressman.

too bad for both of them. it's confusing the people when they should be at peace because the elections are over. i am sure this koala got a lot of big bucks talking in the media covered. if he doesn't show his face, his testimony is questioned for good. sometimes i feel bad for smartmatic but with billions spent on machines, just to be thrown away? take that comelec

I would like to think that the person only came out because of his conscience, but when I told my officemates about that, they laughed at me so hard. LOL. I guess conscience is really not for all people. 
Anyway, I have no idea who is behind it, though I would really like to know if there's any truth to what he is saying. His accusations are really hard to ignore, and hopefully, he can give some concrete evidence to what he is saying.

I would have laughed too... If his conscience really bothered him, he would have gone through proper channels and shown his face.
Out of curiosity, and without any judgment on my part, which particular accusation is hard to ignore for you? I really could not make out what he was saying and so I just gave up listening to him.

Hahahaha. I think the part where he said how they managed to cheat in the Automated Elections, the player PCOS and all those things. I think It's really possible, since the COMELEC and smartmatic took out all the security features of the PCOS machine.
Also taking into consideration, and this is actually a compliment, that Filipinos are really good with making things happen the way they want it, no matter what the cost it. We are ingenious with regards to these things, so I won't really be surprised to know that we have found a way to cheat through the automated elections.

In that case, Koala Boy is merely playing with our suspicions. He just embellished using our own imaginations. I guess you're right, we are really imaginative and creative people. All the losers were cheated but each in a creative way. Take Atienza, he says that election returns were being prepared in the City Hall. Or some who say that the PCOS was tampered with. If all of this happened on a grand scale, wow, somebody is an IT genius. And if they were isolated incidents, then how come the tallies are consistent?

There was a news that says He doesn't even know how to spell the PCOS.
Something fishy about this because he's claiming to have intimate knowledge of the system. I'm guessing it could be Mar Roxas. Sorry if I'll offend his supporters but this is just a guess. It was a neck to neck race between Binay and Roxas that gave me this idea.

That's an interesting conjecture. Could be, since he and his party have been trying to convince the public that he will win in the end by a very slim margin. But Comelec is pointing to a losing presidential candidate, so the Comelec might not have the same person in mind as you.
Yes, the Comelec spokesperson was deriding Koala Boy for his inability to spell PCOS. It is kinda a giveaway, right? :-)

Yup. I guess this issue will die soon. There is no solid basis for pursuing this.

Its hard to guess who's the one behind Robin because there are lots of sore losers out there. Nobody who he/she is it doesn't matter. What important is we don't believe him until he showed concrete evidence.

I suppose that's one way of putting it. It is a bit tiring how sore losers would do everything else except accept defeat. You are right, there are a lot of sore losers out there. I thought when some of the presidential and vice-presidential candidates conceded days after the election that sore losers would be a thing of the past. This Robin character disappointed me. Politicians will be politicians.

I wish Koala Bear to show his real face, if he holds the truth then he has nothing to hide. For sure that presidential candidate who is behind him will help him and be his guard. And if that presidential candidate knows the truth too, he will show his presence there too. It is normal we suspect this person because he hides himself. And we are in doubt that he holds the truth. I will only believe in him if he show himself on the public.

I think nobody believed his first appearance, and so he might not be inclined to unmask himself. I doubt if his backer would come out knowing that Robin did not gain any sympathy at all.

Well, I have no idea who this Koala Bear is.
I will just wait for the comeout of any investigation on this matter.
I hope that this electoral fraus issue will come out untrue.

Hello ADvocate,
I don't care who he is, who cares? unless he shows a demonstration on how they cheated on the automated PCOS machines using flash cards and memory cards, with out that, he's nothing more than just a plain hoaxer. there's a lot of politicians involved and now other loosers are hanging on to him@TheAdvocate (2392)

It would be helpful to know the identity of Koala Boy in order to determine who is behind him and if he is really credible. I think though that he has not really presented concrete evidence to back up his allegations. He should have brought more evidence in his first appearance.

There is a strong possibility that a certain politician is behind all of this. This said Robin made this all allegation with no firm evidence in his hands.Well, this is only a big joke for all Filipino people.

I don't think he would have done it on his own without the backing of a politician. You're right, he has not offered any direct evidence other than his word, which is useless because he is hiding behind a mask.

Well this question has been on my mind too for quite a while. Well and to be perfectly honest with myself I have been thinking that maybe the suspect behind this all is I somehow believe that Koala Boy might justt be saying the truth. I'm not really surer about this. But well that is what I think. I might be wrong.

You mean the person behind him truly believes that he is telling the truth? Probably, if only he would come out and admit that he is behind Koala Boy. The thing is, there has been a lot of finger pointing among politicians. The Manila Times columnist refuses to name the group who allegedly gave it to him. But they all want this investigated. How lame!
