I was alarmed when I saw jeepney and barrangay utility vans delivering flying voters in a precinct. I told my daughter to report the matter.
I developed an upset stomach when I heard of election woes that happened the first couple of hours. Voting machines over heating. Voters in Marawi queue under the heat of the sun, one suffered a heat stroke right after casting her vote and died.
Thus I prayed my Hail Marys and prepared my self for a difficult situation in the polling precinct.
I did find my self complaining because the volunteers were asking the seniors and the persons with disabilities to waive their shaded ballots and trust the volunteers to cast the ballots in the voting machine at 6 pm. I told them they may look trustworthy but why would the elderly and the PWD trust their ballots to people whose sentiments may differ from them. That is a loophole for cheating.
True enough, the cheating was nationwide.
The synchronised #HalalanAberya2019 is just too doubtful. What integrity is left in this year's elections? Wala bang ginawang pre-emptive measures ang @Comelec to prevent this series of delays?...

With not one opposition winning in the senate is already questionable already. I really do not know how this happned that they seem to have a lanslide win on the admin side. During the previous administration the senate was always balance with the number of opposition and the majority but now the admin has a tight grip on the senate. We can see that even those we do not see fit for the position won which I doubt or their money really flowed out to win that position.

@eileenleyva yeah but its hard to prove that it was hacked if the comelec themselves says so which I think will never admit to it. Bam may have in the last spot on official count but I think it’s because they are still in the early counts.

@rsa101 You are right. Bam has been thrown out. In Samira Gutoc's hometown, she received zero vote. Her own vote for her self was not even counted. Comelec people overlooked that. They have a lot to explain.
Rally at PICC tomorrow, for this cheating thing.

The server was hacked, I am sure. It was unacceptable that on election night, when the ballots are being tallied, the server breaks down. Sigh.
BAM, I suppose, is dangling on twelfth. We'll see.

i don't want to say that there is a nationwide cheating but i just wonder why those machines did not worked properly... what i know is there were vote buying in many places and the amount ranges from 1,000 pesos to 3,000 pesos per person..

One problem too many means fraudulent design at work. From faulty markers to overheating machines, the COMELEC has a lot to answer for.
Each ballot is sacred.
How many machines failed? Sigh.

@eileenleyva that's the question now..
why the comelec stopped posting the results for many hours?
but the election was finished already and the elected officials will take their seats no matter what.

@magallon Yes, and since the admin candidates won, now this admin has no reason to fail. This election has just put this admin in a position where there is no one to blame but themselves.
Mike Entriquez, as early as the morning after the election said he is now scrutinizing each one.

What I really hate was this Sunday, the sermon was supposed to be related to Mothers day, right? wrong, CBCP state a reminder letter to all people to vote. Anyways, we had VCM trouble over here, hoped it's been fix. So many technical problems after the election.

Mother's Day was just a beautiful coincidence. But it was Good Shepherd Sunday. The bishops were tending to the flock.
In a chapel where I heard Mass, the letter was not read. Sigh.
The tech problems are the cheating strategies. By this time, COMELEC must have perfected the automation. Perhaps the commissioners are under duress.

The initial shock is over. The people are re-convening for necessary measures to put this election into proper perspective.

@Mulidi Yes, a really pitiful situation for my people. Thus the educated ones are already mobilizing groups who would go to the marginalized sectors, not just to give nourishment but education as well.
We cannot feel defeated right now. The solution begins immediately.
