hopeless_race : Sana itreat naman po ng media ang hacienda luisita at mendiola massacre na parang MAGUINADANAO MASSACRE. Ipublicized ang mga katotohanan at ipakita sa tao ang karumaldumal na pinaggagawa sa mga farmers dun. Untouchable po ba sila cory at danding at hindi magawang batikusin ng media about these two massacres?
hopeless_race : Kapag napaguusapan ang mendiola at hacienda luisita massacre ay parang walang nangyari at parang hindi big deal. Anu po ba ang pinagkaiba ng dalawang nabanggit na massacre sa maguindanao massacre?
hopeless_race : Its sad that we pinoys are blind to the fact of what had happened in mendiola and hacienda luisita. Ang tanong..bakit ang media ay hindi manlang matackle ang ganitong usapin? Takot ba sila kay cory at danding?

This is very rampant here in Marikina. Thanks and more power on your noble endeavors. We need people like you to have make our country great again.

Why you should doubt the Maguindanao election results - 4

Posted by: Isa Lorenzo | July 12, 2007 at 6:50 pm
Filed under: 2007 Elections, In the News

INFORMATION technology expert, NGO activist and Halalang Marangal secretary general Roberto Verzola is adding his voice to the growing number of naysayers who have questioned the credibility of election results in the Maguindanao provincial certificate of canvass (CoC).

Roberto Verzola Aside from the statistically improbable votes, anomalous voting pattern, and the election results from the town of Pagalungan, Verzola says that the Maguindanao CoC contains some “statistically impossible” numbers when it comes to the ballot fill-up rate.

The ballot fill-up rate corresponds to the number of senators listed on the ballot.

“As you know, the maximum number of senators you can vote for is 12,” says Verzola. “You write anything more than 12, that invalidates the ballot. But in several municipalities, you have (a) fill-up rate of more than 12. These averages are statistically impossible.”

The municipalities of Datu Anggal Midtimbang, Paglat, Ampatuan, South Upi, and Sultan sa Barangis all have fill-up rates above 12, ranging from 12.01 (Paglat) to 13.88 (Datu Anggal Midtimbang). (see table)

MAGUINDANAO RESULTS
MUNICIPALITY	BALLOT FILL-UP RATE
Ampatuan	12.02
Buluan	10.86
Datu Abdullah Sangki	11.22
Datu Anggal Midtimbang	13.88
Datu Paglas	10.96
Datu Piang	10.13
Datu Saudi Ampatuan	9.38
Datu Unsay	11.74
Gen. S.K. Pendatun	11.44
Guindulungan	11.01
Mamasapano	11.32
Mangundadatu	12.00
Pagagawan	11.28
Paglat	12.01
Pagalungan	3.31
Pandag	11.77
Rajah Buayan	12.00
Shariff Aguak	11.15
South Upi	12.17
Sultan sa Barongis	13.31
Talayan	11.79
Talitay	11.38
TOTAL	11.37

The PCIJ’s computation of the ballot fill-up rate of Pagalungan is different from Verzola’s. He says that while a ballot fill-up rate of 3.1 is quite low, it is plausible.

Verzola also analyzed the regional and provincial tallies of the National Citizens’ Movement for Free Elections (Namfrel) in 2004. Then, he concluded that an “invisible hand” within Namfrel’s national tabulation center manipulated the results of its tally.

Now, he says, the data found in the Maguindanao CoC is even more damning. “If we have the Garci tape for 2004, the Maguindanao CoC is it for 2007.”

The document speaks for itself, and shows the cheating that went on in Maguindanao, according to Verzola. “This is a fantastic document…and to think that it was approved, accepted by the Comelec (Commission on Elections) and the National Board of Canvassers. Incredible.”
