Who is Maj. Jason Aquino and who was he representing?
The press conference of former Commission on Elections commissioner Virgilio Garcillano raised more questions which the reporters didn’t ask.
It seemed that reporters in that press conference held in Bukidnon wanted only to hear Garci say “I was ordered by Gloria Arroyo to cheat” and when they didn’t hear that, they didn’t know any more what questions to ask.
They didn’t question when Garci said that there was no point for them to cheat because it was ten days after elections.
The reporters didn’t point out to Garcillano that in 2004, it was still manual elections and counting and canvassing took even more than a month. They were still tampering with election results in the Autonomous Region for Muslim Mindanao to make up for the unexpected avalanche of votes for Fernando Poe Jr that came from the vote-rich Lingayen-Lucena corridor.
