Reports by Anak ng Bayan poll watchers and volunteers of other progressive party-list groups and allied candidates in Gen. Santos City; Digos, Davao Sur; Cotabato City; Mati, Davao Oriental; and Asuncion, Davao Norte, all in Mindanao; as well as in Metro Manila and other cities said that ballots containing “Anakbayan” in the party-list category were credited to Akbayan instead of Anak ng Bayan.
Anak ng Bayan leaders said this could have been the result of letters sent by Akbayan to the poll body’s boards of election inspectors asking that “Anakbayan,” “Akbay,” “Bayan” and “Akbayan Muna” should be counted in favor of Akbayan. One of such letters was distributed in Gen. Santos City and it was signed by Benjamin Sumog-oy, Akbayan national council member.
Apolinario Alvarez, Anak ng Bayan national president and House first nominee, however said that “Anakbayan” votes should be credited to Anak ng Bayan instead of Akbayan.
Anakbayan, Alvarez said, is one of the founding organizations of Anak ng Bayan youth party. Alvarez is also the incumbent chairperson of Anakbayan.
“Logic dictates that ‘Anakbayan’ votes should be counted as votes for Anak ng Bayan,” he said.
Party-list counsel Neri Colminares warned that Akbayan could be charged with false reporting. “They made it appear it’s [the letter] a Comelec sanction,” he said. “It’s below the belt. To a certain degree, Akbayan tends to influence the BEI.” Bulatlat.com
Hindi pa man nalulutas ang mga naunang kaso ng pagpatay sa mga kasapi ng BAYAN MUNA at mga kaalyado nito ay nadagdagan na naman ito kahapon. Binaril ng siyam na beses si Tata Pido, Chariman ng BAYAN QUEZON at kandidato bilang borad member sa lalawigan ng Quezon. At narinig ko kanina sa DZRH, ang pitong bala diumano ay tumama sa ulo. Sino kayang may kagagawan nito? hmmmmm....
Sino kaya ang susunod?
