Is the Comelec trying to instigate a revolution?
The Commission on Elections yesterday ordered media outfits to stop their quick count operations or they will be charged with violating elections laws.
GMA Channel 7 and ABS-CBN Channel 2 started conducting separate quick count operations as early as Monday evening or several hours after the polls closed. But they ended their count the next day.
Significant results in this election:
1. Garcillano’s tricks didn’t work. Concedes defeat.

“Mr. Wetness” Apostol is no longer available for comment.

The election is over. It is time to examine, and to both skeptics and sympathizers alike, explain my participation in it.
I gave up a flourishing medical practice in America, joined Kapatiran and ran for the Senate because I wanted not merely to prove a point, but to live by it.
And the point is this: we can change our country, help our people, not by talking or theorizing but by actually doing something about it. One cannot simply make a statement. He must apply it in his life, by example, by involvement, by action. Our political campaign was such a statement.
The Genuine Opposition Opposition, despite an early 8-2-2 lead in the senatorial race, last night shifted its focus to Visayas and Mindanao on reports that administration cheating operators were set to unload at least five million filled-up ballots during municipal, district and provincial canvassing.
Sen. Serge Osmeña III, GO campaign manager, said the opposition had been prepared to concede 600,000 to 1 million “dagdag bawas” votes, primarily in the Autonomous Region for Muslim Mindanao, but was not expecting cheating on the reported massive scale.
Genuine Opposition senatorial candidate Alan Cayetano said he will go to the Supreme Court in connection with the ridiculous and confusing order of the Comelec…
Bukas, maaga pa, pupunta na tayo sa presinto at magboto. Mabuti na yung maaga para kung may kunting confusion man, may panahon para gumawa ng solusyon.
Sabi ni Ping Lacson kahapon sa miting de avance noong Biyernes ng gabi sa Folk Arts Theatre (ang saya doon!), pagkatapos kayo makaboto, magpahinga. Manood kayo ng sine kung gusto nyo. Sa gabi, oras ng bilangan, bumalik sa presinto at magbantay.
Tutok tayo sa canvassing. Protektahan natin ang ating boto.
Mukhang nininerbyos itong mga “Hello Garci” generals ni Arroyo sa paglakas ng kandidatura ni Antonio Trillanes IV.
Above pictures were taken when six Genuine Opposition senatorial candidates visited their detained fellow candidate, Antonio Trillanes IV, at his detention cell in Camp Bonifacio and participated in a boodle fight this morning.
A boodle fight is a fun , unruly tradition in the military. Food is laid out in a long table lined with banana leaves.
