Tag: Clinton John Colcol

In July 2006, Artemio Rasalan, a self-confessed election operator and Clinton John Colcol, a Maguindanao municipal government employee, at great risk to their lives, came out with a signed affidavits and video confessions about their role in tampering with the 2004 election results in favor of Gloria Arroyo.

Media carried their revelations.Malacañang, then under the control of Arroyo , and members of Congress dismissed Rasalan and Colcol’s affidavits as “rehash.”

After I came out with the report on the role of the Special Action Force of the Philippine National Police in the switching of election returns at the Batasan Pambansa in 2008, Colcol wrote me requesting that his affidavit be removed from my blog because he was pursuing a religious vocation. I complied.
