Comelec proceeds canvassing of Mindanao votes while Supreme waits for Zubiri’s side

Comelec orders arrest of Bedol

josie-and-bebu.jpgThe Concerned Citizens Group and Kontra Daya led a motorcade in Manila yesterday to denounce the Commission on Elections countenouncing electoral fraud .

Former vice-president Teofisto Guingona Jr.; former Transportation Secretary Josie Lichauco,former Social Welfare Secretary Dinky Soliman, Fr. Joe Dizon, and some 20 car riding rallyists held a motorcade from Liwasang Bonifacio to the Comelec office at the Palacio del Gobernador in Intramuros.

Also among the lawyer Harry Roque, Bagong Alyansang Makabayan secretary general Renato Reyes and BAYAN chairwoman Carol Pagaduan-Araullo were also present.

At the Comelec, Guingona, Lichauco, Roque, Soliman, Araullo, Reyes and others took turns lambasting Abalos and the other commissioners in inutility in preventing fraud in many parts of the country.

They also denounced Comelec for railroading the canvassing of the Maguindanao votes to push Team Unity’s Miguel Zubiri to the winning circle of the senatorial contest. They urged Comelec to stop delaying the proclaimation of Genuine Opposition candidate Aquilino Pimentel III.

After the Comelec rally, the group held a noise barrage and proceeded to Makati.

Dizon said Abalos , Maguindanao election supervisor Lintang Bedol and other poll officials have no integrity to give credence to their pronouncements that the election documents submitted by municipal election officers in the province to the poll body’s fact-finding team are authentic.

Supporters of Zubiri, meanwhile, held a prayer rally in front of the Supreme Court building on Padre Faura Street, Ermita where the high court earlier set the oral arguments on Pimentel’s petition to stop the canvassing of votes in Maguindanao.

The report said Zubiri’s supporters insisted that votes from Maguindanao should not be excluded from the canvassing. (with report from ABS-CBN)

    Gloria Arroyo,

    Letting Zubiri steal the last Senate slot is the costliest mistake you will make. And probably your last.

    If you think the people will take it sitting down, maybe the sight of angry multitudes on the streets will wipe the smugness off your ugly face.

    Do you really think you will get away with cheating us time and again? For an economist, you sure are clueless about the law of diminishing returns.

    We are warning you — don’t mess with our votes!

    Skip: May mukha pa ba siyang iharap? Kon mayroon man it is so unclean- cheating, stealing, lying, etc. a leper’s face is much cleaner.

    Dahil sa incentive sa mga local na magkaroon ng 12-0 TU kaya kahit sa paraan ng pandaraya ginawa pa din para makuha yun incentive nila.

    The picture of Lintang Bedol with a sidearm as appearing in the Philippine Daily Inquirer and in the full view of reporters both from Inquirer and GMA Channel 7 tells it all. He is not hiding or missing as Abalos would like to tell the world. He’s armed because he would to be portrayed as tigasin and palaban and it’s because he’s hiding something. From this picture alone, we could draw our conclusion what kind of man is Lintang Bedol.

    tt’s nice to know that the Supreme Court is taking seriously the Pimentel-Zubiri standoff.

    In a recent move as reported in the papers, “the Supreme Court Tuesday held back from issuing a temporary restraining order to stop the contentious Maguindanao vote count until it had heard from the Commission on Elections and Zubiri.

    A court spokesperson said the tribunal hoped the Comelec would not do anything in the meantime to preempt the court’s decision.”

    Baka nga naman madaliin nitong Comelec sa utos ng nakatataas na pandak na madaliin ang pagpoproklama kay Zubiri. Maghahalo ang balat sa tinalupan pag umaksiyon si Abalos ng padalos-dalos.

    Tribune: Comelec calls on citizens to arrest Lintang Bedol.

    Pero mukhang palabas lamang because as Tribune reported: Even as Comelec Commissioner Nicodemo Ferrer claims to have issued an arrest order against Bedol, the Philippine National Police yesterday said there was no order issued to the police to arrest Bedol.

    Hindi ko sinasabing gago itong Comelec Commissioner na ito. Bakit ko naman sasabihing gago eh matina yan.

  7. xanadu xanadu

    Matino, hindi matina. Sorry, galit na kasi ako.

    Pero bakit ang mga mamamayan pa ang inutusang arestuhin si Lintang Bedol? Bakit hindi utusan ang may kapangyarihan, ang PNP na gawin ang nararapat? Ano ba yan? Gusto nyong ipahamak ang pobreng mamamayan, hayun nga at nakabaril si Lintang Bedol at nananakot na may mangyayari kapag inaresto siya! Kung hindi kaya ng PNP, tawagan ninyo si Esperon dahil tsokaran niya yang si Bedol sa pandaraya noong 2004. Si Esperon ang pa-arestuhan at kung hindi nya magawa, talagang magkakutsaba sila.

  8. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    Citizens arrest? Comelec Commissioner Nicodemo Ferrer is probably joking. Lintang Bedol is considered armed and dangerous. Sige nga Comm. Ferrer ikaw ang maunang mag-aresto kay Rambo Bedol. Tingan natin ang tapang mo. Baka masindak sa dala mong tirador.

  9. xanadu xanadu

    Mukha ngang drama lang ng Comelec itong utos ng pag-aresto kay Lintang Bedol. Alam na pala ng PNP, bakit sinasabi pang gawan ng citizen’s arrest.

    Ito namang PNP, nagpalabas pa ng pasabi na maaaring makasuhan ng illegal possession of firearms si Bedol dahil sa lantarang pagdi-display nito ng kanyang mga baril. Sa ginawang berepikasyon ng ahensya, walang ‘permit to carry firearms outside of residence’ (PTCFOR) si Bedol na isang klarong asunto.

    Illegal possession of firearms pala eh bakit sasabihin pa ninyong maaaring makasuhan? Anong pang hinihintay ninyo, pasko? Arestuhin na! Yong ibang Comelec Commissioners, isama na ninyo!

  10. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    Gloria Arroyo and Benjamin Abalos, et al have committed election sabotage directly and indirectly. Sila ang dapat ipa-citizens’ arrest.

  11. Elvira Sahara Elvira Sahara

    Am so tired reading about the Moro-moro game played by the KOMOLEK people. Kulang na lang isampal sa mga pagmumukha nila ang mga evidensiya sa cheating operations pero nagmamaangmaangan pa ang mga tinamaan ng lintik na Commission-airs na ‘yan! They have all the alibis in this world and they’re experts in pointing the guns to other people when they should’ve these to themselves!
    Kasan-o pa matapos ang mga TONTO nga ini?

  12. parasabayan parasabayan

    Xanadu, easy to say but hard to execute. This “siga-siga” Bedol knows a lot in the 2004 and 2007 cheating operations. Tiyanak will not arrest him. It is all moro-moro only. Kaya malakas ang loob ni Bedol kasi they can not touch him. If the tiyanak and her alipores touch him, kakanta na siya and of course the tiyanak does not like that to happen.

    I have more faith in the Supreme Court. I can see that Puno is installing back real justice in the Supreme Court. Let us pray hard that they will decide in favor of Koko or simply in favor with the truth!

    The continued street protests would help put pressure on the Supreme Court. Sana naman nakikinig sila sa boses ng mga taong bayan.

  13. luzviminda luzviminda

    Xanadu, PSB,

    Yes we hope that the Supreme Court will be fair. Kaya lang mukhang delaying tactics din yata ang ginagawa nila para paboran ang pagbilang sa questionable Maguindanao results.
    Ayon sa report:

    “A court spokesperson said the tribunal hoped the Comelec would not do anything in the meantime to preempt the court’s decision.”

    Para sa akin, the Supreme Court should have issued TRO already para talagang hindi gagalaw ang KUMOLEK and would really not do anything. Pwede naman na habang may TRO ay tuloy ang mga oral arguments. Kailangan lang na madaliin agad ang proseso dahil habang tumatagal ay nagiging obvious na gusto nilang dumaan si Koko Pimentel sa butas ng karayom. Justice Delayed is Justice Denied!

  14. jojovelas2005 jojovelas2005

    kailangan walang tulugan dahil baka ma proclaim ng madaling araw si Migz…sa atin pa naman pag na proclaim ang isang kandidato mahirap ng mabaligtad at kung mabaligtad man baka abutin na ng next election o kaya isang araw ka lang manunungkulan.

  15. I know Koko Pimentel will not stop regardless of whether or not he is proclaimed the 12th Senator. We should not stop, too, demanding for not just the removal but the prosecution of the cheats. We should also make sure the US will not offer these crooks political refuge and asylum for they deserve to be in jail.

    With the unpopularity now of the mad man at the White House, you can bet your bottom dollar the US will be reluctant to be NOT on the side of reason and legality as what the concerned citizens of the Philippines now demand!!!

    Mabuhay sina Dinky Soliman, et al. At least, they now make up for the mistake they did in 2001 helping a criminal grab power and hang to it. Now, they face a much worse criminal. Pagbutihin ninyo!!!

    PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA. Meanwhile, pakibato ng tae iyong binabae. Hindi pa mag-concede para matahimik na ang bayan. Iyan ba ang nagmamahal ng bansa niya na alam naman niyang daya ang idadagdag na boto sa kaniya. Puede ba tama na ang plastikan? Hoy Zubiri, tumalon ka na lang sa ilog Pasig para matapos na—ang kawalan mo ng hiya at pag-asa!!!

  16. Tuloy ang batikos sa mga walanghiya, mga barkada. We should not allow these crooks to continue insulting the Filipinos!
    Enough is enough! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!

  17. luzviminda luzviminda

    Ang tatapang ng mga election criminals tulad nila Garci at Bedol. Mukhang mga UNTOUCHABLES ah! Talagang may mga PROTEKTOR ANG MGA SINDIKATONG ITO!!! Pihadong may GODFATHER at GODMOTHER ang mafia gang na ito.

  18. ocayvalle ocayvalle

    kaya mayabang yang si bedol dahil ang protector taga malacang!saan ka nakakita ng katulad ni bedol na tinakot pa si abalos et al na kasuhan daw siya at na ka pistola pa!! yabang!!ang dapat alisin, si GMA!! sana tamaan na siya ng kidlat ng mawala na ang mga problemang dulot niya sa taong bayan!! sana si ermita ay tamaan din ng inabot ni FG!! mabuhay si sen koko pimentel!! ang halal ng taong bayan!!

  19. parasabayan parasabayan

    We prayed for that Trillianes would win and our wish came true. We will pray again that Koko will win and he will! Let us continue our protests and show the mafia gang that we are not afraid of them.

    Luzviminda, I do believe that Garci and Bedol belong to tiyanak’s circle. They do cover for each other and they have to be in the same category as the tiyanak! Need I say more?

    Abalaos is ordered by her “highness” the queen of cheats to install Ate Migs to the 12th senatorial position by hook or by crook! Who knows, maybe before the Supreme Court listens to the arguments, Abalaos would have declared Zubiri the winner at 3 AM in the morning. Tiyanak’s alipores are known to just defy anything and everything to show their absolute disregard for the law of the land.

  20. Folks, short and to the point, as Ellen likes it (smile), If Abalos & Schizoglo or the Supreme Court makes a wrong move they can be sure that the masses will spill out onto the streets in protest.
    Abalos & Schizoglo have their backs to the wall so they have no alternative action other than to commit another lie to proclaim Team Unity’s Miguel Zubiri to have any chance of survival.
    But the Supreme Court have the choice to bring TRUTH & JUSTICE to the filipino people, which is their mandate plus they have to be careful of thier decisions so as not to make the same credibility mistakes of the past.
    If, IF, the Supreme Court makes a mistake and back Abalos the people will never forgive them and they know this!

    Rose,

    I agree. Has anyone noticed how progressively worse the hag’s looks have become?

    All that lying and cheating and stealing and killing must have really taken a toll on her face.

    Now I know how the expression “ugly as sin” came about.

  22. myrna myrna

    kung totoo man ang impression ng iba na si cj puno ay naiiba at mayroong prinsipyo at paninindigan, bakit hindi mapigil ang kumolek sa pag canvass. talaga namang ang layunin ay para isiksik si zubiri.

    ano ba talaga ang gusto nilang mangyari na? magkagulo na lang? kabulastugan ni bedol, hayan, buong pilipinas naapektuhan. kasi nga, alam ni abalos at lahat ng komisyon-ers na lagot sila pag hindi naipasok si zubiri. si gloria, kampante at akala mo, walang alam ni kasalanan. eh, siya ang puno’t dulo ng lahat eh.

    just worth mentioning…yung pagkamatay ni tiongco, supposedly voice expert na iprinisinta ni defensor nung kasagsagan ng hello garci. hayan, unti-unti, nangyayari na ang mga kunsekwensiya at pakunsensiya.

    sana naman…..

  23. What this Abaloslos idiot is saying is stage the same kind of lynching the Esperon/Palparan brigade does on order of the idiotic criminal who herself does not want to get out of the palace by the murky river like this binabae who is willing to sacrifice welfare and interests for his own selfish aggrandizement? Gagawin pang kriminal ang mga tao sa totoo lang. I won’t succumb to the temptation even if it is justified. Dasal? That is what I am going to do.

    I have seen a lot of miracles lately for me to lose hope that God will make His Will be done, and not the will of the criminal and her cahoots. Divine intervention we have seen happening this past few weeks. It can still happen, you know. Up above, the angels must be busy mobilizing those who are in a position to act on their behalf, even by giving them the kind of heavenly strength that ordinary people think impossible to achieve.

    I’m not losing hope. Between now and Friday, anything can happen. Who knows, baka matulad si Abaloslos, et al kay Wycoco, and while they are still up and going, they should probably do their own selves some good by doing what is divinely right, now what the idiotic criminal now gallivanting in Singapore thinks only she has been privileged with.

    Patawarin sila ng Panginoon! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! Tuloy ang rally!!! We’re doing what is right likewise over here that justice and propriety will prevail in that land of our birth. Mabuhay ang mga matatapang na sumasali sa rally!!!

  24. Myrna:

    Hindi na kasalanan ni Puno iyan. Dito sa Japan, sa totoo lang, ang Supreme Court namin ay para lamang sa mga kasong last resort na lamang ang pag-asa. Iyong kaso ng pandarayang ito sa ngayon sa Pilipinas, ang may hawak diyan ay iyong pulisya at prosecutor’s office based sa sumbong ng mga taumbayan. Trabaho nila iyan na mag-imbestiga para maparusahan ang mga may kasalanan, may position man o wala. Golly, sa Pilipinas, harap-harapan na ang kawalanghiyaang ginagawa, nakatanga pa rin ang pulis. Ang hirap kasi iyong pulis kasi nasa ilalim ng military kahit naman hindi state of war ang Pilipinas supposedly na kailangan ang military police. Sino bang bobo ang gumawa niyan? Ang tanga naman!!!

  25. Citizen arrest daw, e di sige, citizen arrest nga ang gawin para matapos na ang mga kaululang ito. Pati iyong mga commissioner ng Comelec, ibitin din. Sabi nga ni Anna, sa lamp post daw ibitin! I second the motion. Tapos ipagdasal nating tamaan ng kidlat!!!

  26. Rose:
    Ugly to some, but with her head flattened on top she’s the perfect height for drinkers to stand around talking and place their drinks on at a convenient height.
    She also gives the drinkers a talking point and something to stub their cigarettes on!

    If we could only raise enough money and put a price tag on the heads of those listed as WANTED! Cheaters, Inc., say, P5M to P50M each depending which head, I think those wanted cheaters will be easily captured.

  28. vonjovi2 vonjovi2

    Magkakamukha talaga ang mga hinayupak na ito. Mukhang magnanakaw talaga

  29. Elvira Sahara Elvira Sahara

    Now Showing ba…WANTED…CHEATERS, INC.?

    Silang nasa pictures talaga ang starrer sa Moro-Moro ngayong election!

    Kontrabida bale si Bedol! Cute sa baril-barilan niya at handang kumasa! Beware, Cheaters!

  30. Mrivera Mrivera

    with bedol, abalos and garci prominently surrounding gloria MAKAGARAPAL arroyo inside malakanyang makes it THE HOUSE OF HORROR!

    they all deserve each other. being of same color riding on the same boat these UNWANTED creatures are SORES in the public service as well as in our society.

    it’s high time to get rid of this bunch of garbage!

  31. Mrivera Mrivera

    gloria MAKAGARAPAL arroyo, titing bunye, eduardo ermitae, benjamin abalaos, siraulo gagonggonzalez, helmoranas espurot, etc – THE CHEAT & Co.

    Lutong Makaw ni Abalos ayos na. Daya-na Zubiri panalo.

    MAGUINDANAO COUNT
    Zubiri increases lead over Pimentel by 128,000 votes

    Results of the re-canvassing of the municipal certificates of canvass (CoCs) from 22 towns gave Zubiri a province-wide total of 195,823 votes over Pimentel’s 67,111.
    The results were posted outside the Maguindanao provincial capitol, venue of a three-day canvassing by a special Comelec board. A Comelec spokesperson in Manila said these were the same results relayed to him by Comelec people in the province.
    newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view_article.php?article_id=73586

  33. Kahit na anong gawin ni Zubiri, he will or should face the court for being privy to these cheatings courtesy of the criminal in the palace by the murky river and her cahoots. Guerra patani na. This bakla should not be allowed to grab the 12th Senatorial seat from Koko, the real winner like what the unano did to Erap and FPJ. Umupo man siya sa Senado, alam naman ng lahat ng mga pilipino na daya lang naman ang pag-upo niya. Makapal din ang mukha ng hinayupak na ito. Puede ba pakisipa na!

    PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA! At saka anong tactic ni Esperon na ibinabalandra iyong Americano ngayon na siya daw na ipapalaban sa mga NPA? Gago din ano? Domestic problem ng Pilipinas ipapasolba sa mga kano? Tarantado din ano? Sinong tinakot na ulol na ito? Di ba niya alam na puedeng ireklamo ng mga pilipino ang mga kano kapag nakialam sa pagsupil ng mga rebelde at tulisan sa Pilipinas na dapat ay sinusupil ng mga pulis gaya ng pagsupil halimbawa ng mga pulis ng hapon sa mga Yakuza! Pwe! Puede ba tama na ang yabang at pagpapahiya sa mga pilipino? Stop the image na White man’s burden ang mga pinoy. Matagal nang pumutok ang Mt. Pinatubo. Baka umulit iyang ng putok para matoto ang mga ungas na mga kriminal na ito! Kung iyon ngang sariling problema ng America hindi malutas ng mga kano e! Puede ba!

    STOP THIS COLONIAL MENTALITY NG MGA UNGAS NA ITO—UNANO, ASSPERON, ET AL! PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!

  34. Diego K. Guerrero Diego K. Guerrero

    Magkano kaya ang binayad kay Abalos, et al para palusutin si Zubiri.? Sabi ni Ermita bigyan daw proteksyon si Lintang Bedol. Bitayin siya! Ang ibig sabihin ni Esperon ay hindi kayang lipunin ang NPA kung walang tulong ni Uncle Sam. Anong tulong? Bombahin ang mga kuta ng NPA sa bundok at baryo? Gusto yata nila Gloria at Esperon ay maging Iraq at Afghanistan ang bansang Pilipinas. Talo ang mga Kano sa Vietnam kahit milyon-milyong toneladang bomba ang pina-bagsak para sa mga Vietcong at North Vietnamese Army. Tama na ang utak pulbora!

  35. parasabayan parasabayan

    Diego, Abalaos is eyeing at the Supreme Court Justice position so he has to make sure that Ate Migz makes it to the 12th senatorial position!

    Ang kakapal talaga ng Kumolek na ito. Just when the Supreme Court says that the counting should not proceed while the oral arguments on Koko’s case are heard, lalo namang binilisan ang bilangan! Ang binibilang nila ay yung mga bagong gawang COCs. Remember that a few bundles of those COCs were stolen from their storage. Talagang nakakasuka ang mga CHEATS na ito!

  36. paquito paquito

    Naniniwala kaya sa kanyang sarili si Zubiri na 12-0 pabor sa TU? Hindi ba kapani-paniwala na ngayon e 8-2-2, as in 8GO, 2Ind. and 2 TU. Kung marunong si Zubiri ng 1+1 e cgurado naman na imposible ang 12-0 + anomalya ni Bedol. Bakit ayaw mo mag-give up Zubiri marahil mangungurakot ka lang. Kitang-kita namin at ng taong bayan kung paano dinaya ang GO sa Maguindanao + alam mo naman na nadaya lang kayo sa lugar na yan bakit ganyan kayo na ganid sa kapangyarihan. Kapag may anomalya tulad nyan si Zubiri na mismo ang mag-suggest na wag na ibilang ang boto sa lugar na yon, pero si Zubiri pa ang pursigido na bilangin. I=proclaim na si Atty. Koko Pimentel para Senador! Marangal na tao at matalino! Si zubiri ganid at trapo, pwe! Si Abalos, Garci, Gloria, Mike ay isama kay Bedol sa kulungan. Mga mandaraya at sinungaling kayo!

  37. The best thing to do is for Legarda to have all her supporters who voted for her to rally in front of the Senate in case the crooks at the COMELEC, aka as COMOLEC, decide to defy law and order and propriety by declaring a wannabe crook as Senator in place of the more legitimate Koko Pimentel. This will be one way of showing her loyalty to her friends at GO, plus a sure way of having the needed support in numbers compared to that of the binabae who still does not want to concede but be declared a Senator on tampered votes. Tarantado din ano?

    All over the world, we can plan a similar demonstration to show support to the concerned citizens now fighting for the return of the rule of law, propriety and even sanity. Sobrang pagbababoy na kasi ang ginagawa ng mga ungas!

    PATALSIKIN NA, NOW NA!
