There’s proof that PCOS is really “TIKAS”

It’s been weeks since the operations of that Yellow Submarine was suspended by Lapu-Lapu Mayor Paz Radaza and now it is the turn of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to look into the damage done to the already damaged corals near Kon-Tiki. What are these people trying to do? Don’t they understand that what happened at that underwater ledge off Kon-Tiki or Imperial Palace was not a grounding, just like what happened to the USS Guardian in Tubattaha Reef?

That Japanese video showed a mere bump, an accident admitted, but hey, I’ve been down there some years back and I only see damaged corals due to dynamite fishing. So the big question here is, are these government officials fishing for more money from the Koreans? Again let me reiterate. Cebu’s tourism has suffered due to competition from CamSur and in my book, the arrival of that submarine was good for Cebu as it is an added and welcome attraction for tourists, domestic and foreign. Alas, now it is snarled in a government bureaucracy notorious for corrupt practices. Please give Cebu a break before tourists would no longer come to our shores.

Exactly a week ago, on May 17, we wrote a column entitled “HOW COULD 10 TO 12 MILLION VOTES BE MISSING?” Yesterday the banner headline of The Freeman screamed: “PCOS yet to transmit more than 11 million votes.” That report came from the poll watchdog the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) Chairperson Henrietta de Villa who said, “Out of the 78,166 PCOS machines distributed in the cluster precincts there will still 18,499 PCOS machines that have not yet transmitted the results via the transparency server.”

For the record, this is what we wrote exactly a week ago. “Since Tuesday morning, May 14, the percentage of precincts nationwide has not yet been received by the Comelec’s Transparency Server these precincts account for 15.4 million voters or almost a third of total voters nationwide. Based on our own calculation or current average precinct turnout of 76%, this means that the system is still missing some 11.9 million votes from Filipinos who went out to vote on May 13. We based this on data from the Comelec-Rappler Mirror Server, which comes from the Transparency Server.”

Come now, what more proof do we need to present to our nation that the PCOS machines are the principal reason for this monumental blunder? We have time and time again proven that the Comelec under its Chairman Sixto Brillantes have not been transparent to our people. Worst of all, as I wrote in my Philippine Star column yesterday, social networking sites like Philippine Online Chronicles (POC) exposed the PCOS pattern of cheating and this went viral all over the social networking websites.

An articled was published in POC entitled “Was the elections won with a 60-30-10 formula?” written last Monday as the Philippine Star also came up with its editorial. Allow me to reprint parts of that article, as I have not yet written it in this newspaper. 

“It appears to be a simple formula to ensure a dominant hold on political power in the Philippines. Perhaps too simple that it was only a matter of time until it was discovered. On the eve of May 18, watchful Netizens discovered they weren’t alone in finding an uncomfortably unnatural “60%-30%-10%” spread of votes respectively among Team PNoy, UNA and the independent candidates consistent in all vote canvassing updates by the Commission on Elections through their “Transparency” server.”

So the big question is, how could all those votes come in exactly this order 60 percent for Team PNoy, 30 percent for UNA and 10 percent for the independent candidates in all the regions of this country? Unfortunately, I cannot print the graph was included in the POC article. So I suggest that you Google this so you will see this pattern yourself so that you’d truly be amazed how uniform were those votes from the first count on May 13 all the way to May 18, and indeed, Team PNoy garnered 60 percent, UNA at 30 percent and the independents at 10 percent. In my book, this is a clear pattern of cheating and the Comelec finally admitted that they would look into this. But will they do so? Aren’t they part and parcel of this boiling electronic election fraud?

Yesterday I also bumped into former Compostela Mayor Richie Wagas and I asked him why he lost again in this election? Wait! As we already wrote in previous columns, Richie Wagas was able to prove in the Regional Trial Court (RTC) that he was the real winner in the 2010 elections, but somehow the Comelec here is playing the “Three Monkeys” game… see nothing, hear nothing and say nothing. So Mr. Wagas is off again to another court battle, but this time he is not alone and the whole nation watches with him in order to find out what we already know… PCOS is “Tikas” for us.
