The tandem of President Joseph Estrada and Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay were ahead in the 4th day of canvassing of votes for president and vice-president.
Based on 140 Certificates of Canvass (COCs) counted by Congress sitting as the National Board of Canvassers (NBoC), Estrada received 234,474 votes.
Binay received 307,537 votes.
The votes from La Union province and Ilocos, the first electronically transmitted results to be canvassed, allowed Estrada and Binay to take the lead from Liberal Party candidates Senators Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III and Manuel Roxas II.
The Liberal Party tandem was ahead in the first three days of canvassing based on local and overseas absentee voting.
Aquino got 205,967 votes while Roxas got 232,986 votes.
The NBoC canvassed on Monday the results from La Union, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Ilocos Norte.
The results from Baguio City, Ilocos Sur, and Siquijor were deferred to due alleged discrepancies.

Erap-Binay tandem wins among soldiers, cops
Former President Joseph "Erap" Estrada and his running mate Makati City Mayor Jejomar "Jojo" Binay topped the local absentee voting, which allows officials of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP) who, on election day, are assigned to places far from where they are registered.
Estrada got a total of 8,870 votes. He got more votes than former Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr., who placed second with 6,199 votes.
Senator Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III, who is leading in the almost complete tally of the Commission on Elections (Comelec), got 2,744 votes. Senator Manuel Villar Jr. got 670 votes.
The other candidates got less than 300 votes. (Vetellano Acosta, 1; Olongapo City Councilor John Carlos Delos Reyes, 5; Senator Richard Gordon, 225; Senator Jamby Madrigal, 5; environmentalist Nicanor Perlas, 13; evangelist Eduardo Villanueva, 259)
The local absentee voting was held from April 28 to 30. The Comelec approved a total of 19,722 absentee voters from the AFP and 1,800 from the Philippine National Police (PNP).
Binay topped the vice presidential race with 12,995 votes. His closest rival, Senator Manuel "Mar" Roxas II, got 4,583 votes.
In the almost complete Comelec tally, Binay has been leading Roxas by about 800,000 votes. But the camp of the Liberal Party claims Roxas still has a chance to catch up and win by a slim margin of about 100,000 votes.
The other vice presidential candidates got the following votes: Senator Loren Legarda, 117; former Metropolitan Manila Development Authority chair Bayani Fernando, 821; actor Edu Manzano, 175; Dominador Chipeco, 3; broadcaster Jay Sonza, 22; former Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Perfecto Yasay, 110.

The certificates of canvass (CoC) from local absentee voting was one of those canvassed by Congress Friday.
In absentee voting, the manual system of casting votes was used. The participants were allowed to vote only for president, vice president, 12 senators and a party-list group.
Meanwhile, canvassing of CoC for Bahamas was deferred due to discrepancies in the total number of votes.

Comelec to proclaim party-list winners on Monday
The Commission on Elections will proclaim the top 10 placers in the party-list race on Monday, although it cannot say yet how many seats in the House of Representative the winning groups would get.
The Commission on Elections will proclaim the top 10 placers in the party-list race on Monday, although it cannot say yet how many seats in the House of Representative the winning groups would get.
Commissioner Gregorio Larrazabal said the poll body will not be able to determine the number of seats until the canvassing of the votes has been completed.
The Comelec has canvassed 96 percent of the votes.
But it will not be able to finish the canvass until after special elections for a number of towns in the Visayas and the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao are held on June 3.
The allotted seats for party-list winners are computed based on the total number of votes cast for the party-list contest.
But those to be declared winners on Monday are assured of at least one seat each, Larrazabal said.
“No matter what happens, they get one seat,” he said.
The rest of the winners will be proclaimed “in the next few days,” he said.
Under the law, 20 percent of House seats are reserved for party-list groups, which supposedly represent the marginalized sectors. In the present 287-seat House, this comes to 57 seats.
Party-list groups that succeed in securing six percent of the total votes get three seats. Those which obtain four percent will have two seats, while those with two percent will have one representative.
According to the Comelec tally, Ako Bicol was in the lead with 1,522,986 votes, followed by Senior Citizens (1,292,182); Buhay (1,249,555); Akbayan (1,058,691); Gabriela (1,001,421); Coop-Natcco (943,529); 1-Care (768,829); Abono (766,615); Bayan Muna (746,019); An Waray (711,631);
Cibac (647,483); A Teacher (614,725); Agap (515,501); Butil (506,703); ABC (469,093); Anakpawis (445,628); Kabataan (417,923); LPGMA (417,600); Abante Mindanao (376,011); and ACT Teachers (369,564).

Congress resumes canvass
Congress, acting as the National Board of Canvassers (NBOC), resumed its count of the certificates of canvass Friday.
At 1:36 p.m., the NBOC convened with its first order of the day being the deferment of the CoCs from La Union, citing an agreement in the joint canvassing committee to first tabulate the CoCs that are manually counted.
The La Union CoCs were scheduled for canvassing but were set aside for the manually counted CoCs from Hong Kong and Singapore.
But Paranaque Representative Roilo Golez proposed the canvassing of the La Union votes, which were transmitted electronically, saying that there should be a presumption of regularity on the CoCs.
Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile stressed that Congress had an agreement “that we have to canvass first the CoCs manually done and we will defer the CoCs which are electronically transmitted.”
Golez later yielded to the Congress leaders.
The CoCs from Czech Republic was the first to be canvassed on Friday. On Thursday, the first canvassing day, Congress counted CoCs from absentee voters from Laos, Guam, Brunei, Papua New Guinea, and Thailand.
Senators’ Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III and Manuel “Mar” Roxas II lead in the overseas absentee votes in these countries.

Binay belittles Roxas lead in OAV
Finally, after 1-and-a-half session days worth of debate riddled with late beginnings and several breaks, the joint congressional canvass committee on Thursday shut up and actually did their main job of canvassing the votes for president and vice president.
This however didn’t come without a compromise---they decided to canvass first the certificates of canvass where elections were held manually without the use of the Precinct Count Optical Scan (PCOS) machines---mostly from the overseas and some local absentee voting, representing around 100 of the 278 Certificates of Canvass (COCs), which could be worth around half a million votes.
All but 2 COCs from the Overseas Absentee Voting were done manually---only overseas Filipin workers (OFWs) in Singapore and Hong Kong got to use PCOS machines.
The compromise came after around 4 hours of debates on security features of the automated election system.
At 6: 52 pm, Compostela Valley Congressman Manuel "Way Kurat' Zamora reprised his 2004 role of carrying the ballot box with COCs from the shelves in the holding area to the examination table where the committee members and watchers and lawyers of the candidates had a chance to examine the documents.
The process almost stalled again after some candidates’ lawyers protested the absence of Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) personnel who will authenticate the signatures of ambassadors or consuls who prepared the COCs.
A bolt cutter was used to cut the 3 padlocks and heavy sealing of the ballot boxes.
Ballot boxes are being opened in the order they were received.
First to be canvassed were the ballot boxes from Laos, Guam, Brunei and Papua New Guinea and Thailand
The Liberal Party tandem of Noynoy Aquino and Mar Roxas led the initial canvass, prompting the camp of Roxas’ chief rival, Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay to stress that while they expect Roxas to lead the OAV round, it only represents a small posrtion of the votes cast. The OAV results have already been reported in media.
“We expect Mar Roxas to lead," Binay said. "But we must remember that total registered OAV voters is around 560,000 (around 1% of total registered voters) with initial reports of only 25-30% turnout.”

Congress starts canvassing votes for President, Vice President
Congress, sitting as the National Board of Canvassers, early evening on Thursday finally started canvassing the votes cast for President and Vice-President.
Congress decided to canvass first the results of the Overseas Absentee Voting (OAV), which used manual elections, except in two areas.

First OAV ballots from Laos
The first ballot box from the Kingdom of Laos was opened at 6:57 p.m.
“It appears to be in good condition with 3 padlocks,” announced Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile to a clapping gallery.
They had to use a bolt cutter to open the locks. “Look how secure this ballot box is,” Enrile said.
Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III led the voting in Laos with 55 votes.
Senator Manuel Villar Jr. got 38 votes. Former President Joseph Estrada had 16 votes. Senator Richard Gordon got 28 votes. Former Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. got 18 votes. Evangelist Eduardo Villanueva got 14 votes.
In the vice-presidential race, Aquino's running mate Senator Manuel Roxas II topped the polls in Laos with 72 votes.
Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay got 33 votes. Former Metropolitan Manila and Development Authority (MMDA) chairman Bayani Fernando got 24 votes. Senator Loren Legarda got 27 votes. Actor Edu Manzano got 4 votes. Former Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chair Perfecto Yasay got 9 votes.
All the other candidates got zero votes.
After the Kingdom of Laos, they proceeded to canvass results from Guam.
Based on the Rules of the Joint Public Session of Congress on Canvassing of the votes cast for the President and Vice-Presidential candidates, the canvassing should operate based on the “first-come, first-served” basis. The first ballots received should be the first to be canvassed.
The ballot box from the Kingdom of Laos was received at 9:05 p.m. on May 11.
Except Hong Kong and Singapore, all the other countries or territories used manual polls.
The motion to proceed with the canvassing of the results of the manual elections was made by Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri.
An ardent critic of the automated polls, Maguindanao Rep. Didagen "Digs" Dilangalen, who earlier stated that he was opposed to the motion, had left the plenary when Zubiri made the motion.
The Senate and the House of Representatives first convened as the National Board of Canvassers on Tuesday, but canvassing was delayed by the endless questions about the automated elections.
The first day was spent on deliberating the rules of canvassing for the country's first nationwide automated polls.
Congress spent the second day and the most part of the third day grilling officials of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) and Smartmatic on the “authenticity” of the electronically transmitted results of the May 10 polls.
Separate TWG
With the endless questions on the authenticity of the results of the automated polls, Enrile sought a compromise by proposing the creation of a technical working group (TWG)—composed of IT experts—that would hold a separate inquiry into the lingering allegations against the automated election system.
It remains unclear if they will proceed with the canvassing of the results of the automated polls once all the results of the manual polls are tabulated.
To avoid the scenario of not having a new president by noon of June 30, Enrile sought to immediately start the canvassing of votes. He said they can proceed with it while the TWG looks into the authenticity of the automated polls.
Nograles agreed with Enrile's suggestion, although a formal motion to create the technical working group had yet to be made on the floor.
“The chair agrees that this is a working solution so that we will not be trapped into so much debate on the technical aspects. I appeal to our colleagues: this is to me the most expeditious way so we can finish and meet deadline we have set forth,” Nograles said.
Enrile wanted to subpoena all the compact flash cards used in the 76,000 polling machines or the Precinct Count Optical Scan (PCOS) voting machines so the TWG can examine them.
“We want to subpoena the 76,000 compact flash cards and ask the Comelec for the audit logs of the PCOS machines,” Enrile said.
“We do this without impeding our wok as canvassers. We do this hand in hand. To me, this is the key issue in this canvassing process: what happened when there was a retrieval of the flash cards? In order to erase doubt, let's do it while we are doing the canvass. If there is an indication that there was substantial effect on the votes, we decide what we are going to do,” Enrile added.
“The IT group of the Senate and the House can do their own independent audit of all of these technical matters while we continue our canvass,” Nograles said.
However, Comelec Commissioner Gregorio Larrazabal stressed the difficulty of examining each of 76,000 compact flash cards.
Larrazabal explained that the flash cards are encrypted, and any activity should be done under the control of the Comelec. He offered office spaces to the TWG for this activity.
Larrazabal also noted that Comelec's Random Manual Audit can also prove that the results are authentic.
Enrile said the IT team will select which ones to look into. The joint panel has yet to discuss details of the TWG.
'Digs' delays canvassing
Rep. Dilangalen single handedly delayed the canvassing.
He opposed the moves to open the ballot boxes without first finishing the deliberations on the authenticity of the results of the automated polls.
“I cannot agree that we proceed with canvassing without clearing all these matters. This is very important. How do we know that the results are not compromised? It is important that we finish first this investigation to be conducted by the IT group. For the moment, it is premature,” Dilangalen said.
“It is very clear that we could only start the canvassing proper once we determine the due execution of electronic COCs [Certificates of Canvass] in accordance with law. The moment we start with canvassing, it means to say we already admitted due execution and genuineness of the COCs. All questions will become moot and academic,” Dilangalen added.
Dilangalen had left the plenary when Zubiri made the motion to canvass the results of OAV that used manual polls.
Other congressmen also shared his fears especially after Smartmatic admitted innocent program errors in the automated system. Some lawmakers were alarmed that the results may have been altered. (Read: Smartmatic admission of program errors alarms lawmakers)
Smartmatic Asia-Pacific President Cesar Flores admitted application errors in the number of registered voters and the machine clocks.
Upon initializing the server in the House of Representatives—which receives the electronic results of the elections--the Senate and House staff discovered the machine showing that the total number of registered voters was 256 million or 5 times the actual number of registered voters in the Philippines.
Flores admitted the “application error” but assured that it was only the variable that was affected by the error. The results of the election were not affected, he said.
While the 12 senators have been proclaimed based on the tally of the Comelec, the Constitution mandates that the National Board of Canvassers count the votes and proclaim the winners of the presidential and vice-presidential race.
The Comelec tally--which is about 90% of the results sent so far nationwide--shows that Aquino will win the presidential race with at least 14 million votes. His closest rival, former President Joseph Estrada, has around 9 million votes.
The result of the vice-presidential race remains close. Leading candidate Makati Mayor Jejomar "Jojo" Binay has a slim lead of 800,000 votes over Senator Manuel "Mar" Roxas II. As of posting, Binay had 13.6 million votes while Roxas had 12.8 million.

Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile earlier said they will proclaim the next president and vice-president on or before June 15 or two weeks before the positions will be constitutionally vacant on June 30.
Joint Panel
Instead of the entire Congress, the senators and the congressmen created a joint committee panel to compose the National Board of Canvassers. The Senate and House have nine members each in their panels.
The members from the Senate are Senators Juan Ponce Enrile, Juan Miguel Zubiri, Rodolfo Biazon, Alan Peter Cayetano, Aquilino Pimentel, Gregorio Honasan, Edgardo Angara, Ramon Revilla Jr., and Joker Arroyo.
Representatives Prospero Nograles (Davao City), Arthur Defensor Sr. (Iloilo), Ronaldo Zamora (San Juan), Neptali Gonzales II (Mandaluyong), Jesus Crispin Remulla, Roilo Golez, Didagen Dilangalen, Michael John Jack Duavit, and Matias Defensor.
The alternate members of the board are Senators Francis Pangilinan, Lito Lapid, Jinggoy Estrada, Pia Cayetano, and representatives Simeon Datumanong, Teodoro Locsin, Rufus Rodriguez, Lorenzo Tañada III, Liwayway Chato, Pedro Romualdo, Joseph Emilio Abaya, Eduardo Zialcita, Giorgidi Aggabao, and Darlene Antonio Custodio.
The joint panels will tabulate a total of 278 vote tallies from provinces, large cities, embassies and consulates across the globe, hoping to declare a winner for the top two positions by June 15, if not earlier.
The deadline for a president to be declared is June 30.
Enrile said they planned to finish an average of 13 vote tallies from embassies and consulates every day and would tabulate votes counted by machines after technical questions are resolved.
Congress decided to canvass first the results of the Overseas Absentee Voting (OAV), which used manual elections, except in two areas.
After 5 certificates of canvass (COCs) from Laos, Guam, Brunei, Papua New Guinea, Thailand, Aquino and Roxas of the Liberal Party led in the presidential and vice-presidential counts.

The joint session ended at 8:44 pm and will resume on Friday at 1 pm.
First OAV ballots from Laos
The first ballot box from the Kingdom of Laos was opened at 6:57 p.m.
“It appears to be in good condition with 3 padlocks,” announced Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile to a clapping gallery.
They had to use a bolt cutter to open the locks. “Look how secure this ballot box is,” Enrile said.
Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III led the voting in Laos with 55 votes.
Senator Manuel Villar Jr. got 38 votes. Former President Joseph Estrada had 16 votes. Senator Richard Gordon got 28 votes. Former Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. got 18 votes. Evangelist Eduardo Villanueva got 14 votes.
In the vice-presidential race, Aquino's running mate Senator Manuel Roxas II topped the polls in Laos with 72 votes.
Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay got 33 votes. Former Metropolitan Manila and Development Authority (MMDA) chairman Bayani Fernando got 24 votes. Senator Loren Legarda got 27 votes. Actor Edu Manzano got 4 votes. Former Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) chair Perfecto Yasay got 9 votes.
All the other candidates got zero votes.
After the Kingdom of Laos, they proceeded to canvass results from Guam.
Based on the Rules of the Joint Public Session of Congress on Canvassing of the votes cast for the President and Vice-Presidential candidates, the canvassing should operate based on the “first-come, first-served” basis. The first ballots received should be the first to be canvassed.
The ballot box from the Kingdom of Laos was received at 9:05 p.m. on May 11.
Except Hong Kong and Singapore, all the other countries or territories used manual polls.
The motion to proceed with the canvassing of the results of the manual elections was made by Senator Juan Miguel Zubiri.
An ardent critic of the automated polls, Maguindanao Rep. Didagen "Digs" Dilangalen, who earlier stated that he was opposed to the motion, had left the plenary when Zubiri made the motion.
The Senate and the House of Representatives first convened as the National Board of Canvassers on Tuesday, but canvassing was delayed by the endless questions about the automated elections.
The first day was spent on deliberating the rules of canvassing for the country's first nationwide automated polls.
Congress spent the second day and the most part of the third day grilling officials of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) and Smartmatic on the “authenticity” of the electronically transmitted results of the May 10 polls.
Separate TWG
With the endless questions on the authenticity of the results of the automated polls, Enrile sought a compromise by proposing the creation of a technical working group (TWG)—composed of IT experts—that would hold a separate inquiry into the lingering allegations against the automated election system.
It remains unclear if they will proceed with the canvassing of the results of the automated polls once all the results of the manual polls are tabulated.
To avoid the scenario of not having a new president by noon of June 30, Enrile sought to immediately start the canvassing of votes. He said they can proceed with it while the TWG looks into the authenticity of the automated polls.
Nograles agreed with Enrile's suggestion, although a formal motion to create the technical working group had yet to be made on the floor.
“The chair agrees that this is a working solution so that we will not be trapped into so much debate on the technical aspects. I appeal to our colleagues: this is to me the most expeditious way so we can finish and meet deadline we have set forth,” Nograles said.
Enrile wanted to subpoena all the compact flash cards used in the 76,000 polling machines or the Precinct Count Optical Scan (PCOS) voting machines so the TWG can examine them.
“We want to subpoena the 76,000 compact flash cards and ask the Comelec for the audit logs of the PCOS machines,” Enrile said.
“We do this without impeding our wok as canvassers. We do this hand in hand. To me, this is the key issue in this canvassing process: what happened when there was a retrieval of the flash cards? In order to erase doubt, let's do it while we are doing the canvass. If there is an indication that there was substantial effect on the votes, we decide what we are going to do,” Enrile added.
“The IT group of the Senate and the House can do their own independent audit of all of these technical matters while we continue our canvass,” Nograles said.
However, Comelec Commissioner Gregorio Larrazabal stressed the difficulty of examining each of 76,000 compact flash cards.
Larrazabal explained that the flash cards are encrypted, and any activity should be done under the control of the Comelec. He offered office spaces to the TWG for this activity.
Larrazabal also noted that Comelec's Random Manual Audit can also prove that the results are authentic.
Enrile said the IT team will select which ones to look into. The joint panel has yet to discuss details of the TWG.
'Digs' delays canvassing
Rep. Dilangalen single handedly delayed the canvassing.
He opposed the moves to open the ballot boxes without first finishing the deliberations on the authenticity of the results of the automated polls.
“I cannot agree that we proceed with canvassing without clearing all these matters. This is very important. How do we know that the results are not compromised? It is important that we finish first this investigation to be conducted by the IT group. For the moment, it is premature,” Dilangalen said.
“It is very clear that we could only start the canvassing proper once we determine the due execution of electronic COCs [Certificates of Canvass] in accordance with law. The moment we start with canvassing, it means to say we already admitted due execution and genuineness of the COCs. All questions will become moot and academic,” Dilangalen added.
Dilangalen had left the plenary when Zubiri made the motion to canvass the results of OAV that used manual polls.

Binay supporters keep watch over canvassing
Supporters of Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay dominated the gallery of the Batasan Pambansa on Wednesday, keeping watch over the joint committee canvassing the votes for president and vice president.
Binay’s fraternity brothers in the Alpha Phi Omega (APO) fraternity, wearing blue shirts, were easily the most obvious color in the gallery.
The second most noticeable were Binay supporters, wearing yellow, from another group.
Also sighted in the gallery were IT experts and non-House and non-Senate media covering the event, as well as legislative staff who conferred with lawmakers in attendance.
One Binay supporter said there were 100 of them wearing blue inside the session hall, as of around 5 pm. Binay supporters will take shifts in watching over the joint canvass proceedings.
Binay supporter Arlan Viray lamented that the proceedings have been very slow, noting no actual canvass has taken place yet, a few hours into the start of the joint committee’s session.
The joint committee is supposed to meet everyday, Mondays to Fridays, from 2 pm to 8 pm.
Non-canvass matters
On Wednesday, however, it began at 2:44 pm. And even after it began, it went on several breaks in its first hours for non-canvass-related administrative matters.
The first break at 2:55 pm was called to fix the sound system of the lower House after Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile complained he had difficulty hearing the statements of those speaking.
This was after Senate minority leader Aquilino Pimentel also complained and suggested that the invited resource persons from the Commission on Elections (Comelec), Smartmatic, and independent IT experts be given their own microphones, instead of having to share 2 microphones placed on 2 rostrums.
Pimentel said it takes time for each resource person to rise up and proceed to one rostrum to answer a question. Speaker Prospero Nograles assured the senators the situation was temporary, and changes to the sound system will be implemented as they go along.
More breaks stall canvassing
Minutes later during the break, pages scrambled to give more microphones to the resource persons.
The second break was called at 3:36 pm to allow candidates’ lawyers to take their places in the resource persons' panel as the secretariat entered their appearances into the record. The proceedings caused further delays.
A third break was called at 3:51 pm to allow lawmakers to personally peruse sample certificates of canvass for president and vice-president after questions were raised if there are separate Certificates of Canvass (COCs) for the 2 positions, contrary to the 2004 practice when votes for president and vice president were contained in 1 provincial COC.
A fourth break was called at 4:10 pm to allow Comelec executive director Jose Tolentino to retrieve which Comelec resolution provision authorized the preparation of several pages of documents to become the provincial certificate of canvass.
This stemmed from questions from senators and congressmen on why there appears to be 2 separate COCs for the 2 positions.
Meanwhile, also seen on the floor were congressmen and a senator who are non-members of the joint committee but are witnessing the proceedings.
Coffee, water, humidity
In an apparent indication of the length of the hearing, cups of coffee and bottles of mineral water were given to the lawmakers.
Blowers were also brought out to manage the increasingly humid temperature in the Session Hall. House senior deputy majority leader Neptali "Boyet" Gonzales was seen using some documents to fan himself.
Two widescreens were set up to help show people the documents being examined. Each lawmaker-canvasser was also provided with his own PC to see the results of the electronic canvassing.
Despite the heavy turnout of people in the proceedings, there were more people who were invited to the next working day of the committee, like members of the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV), and officials of telecommunications companies.

Aquino unfazed by poll fraud allegations
Senator Benigno Aquino III, set to be the next president of the Philippines, said he was unfazed by allegations of election fraud and described complaints from losing pro-administration candidates as a "fishing expedition".
Unofficial tallies from the elections commission show Aquino has an insurmountable lead of more than 5 million votes over his nearest rival, former President Joseph Estrada, in the May 10 ballot. The race for vice president is much closer.
On Tuesday, a joint session of Congress met to start the official tally of votes, but not a single ballot has been counted yet due to debate over technical details and doubts on the integrity of the automated vote count.
A House of Representatives panel holding a parallel inquiry into allegations of election fraud has heard from a number of losing candidates, most allied with the ruling Lakas-Kampi CMD coalition.
"These allegations are more on the level of a fishing expedition," Aquino told reporters after a meeting with the Chinese ambassador at his residence on Thursday, asking those complaining of fraud to produce solid evidence.
"You have a party in power crying, well, making all of these allegations, and that really seems strange," said Aquino, who has not been implicated in the accusations of fraud.
Aquino's solid victory and the relatively smooth election process were seen as a positive for the Philippines, where polls are often controversial and contested, but that could be eroded by a drawn-out confirmation period and allegations of fraud.
The joint session of Congress to declare the President and Vice President was brought forward by a week, but it may not be until mid-June that the results are official.
The deadline is June 30, when the current administration's term ends, and Aquino's victory is not considered to be at risk.
On Wednesday, an official of the state lottery agency told the House committee seven men had approached him before the election and offered to manipulate results in favour of the administration's presidential candidate for 1 billion pesos ($22 million).
Several lawmakers and local government officials had similar allegations of offers to rig results in the election, but they have not been yet shown how the results could be manipulated.
Information technology experts have raised doubts on the reliability and security of vote-counting machines after some security features, including electronic signatures, were disabled.
Poll agency officials have said identified glitches were not of a scale that would change the outcome of election, after admitting errors had been discovered in the transmission of some results and in the configuration of data in memory cards.
In one mistake, a server set to be used for the official tally showed 256 million registered voters -- five times the actual number. About 70 percent of 51.2 million registered voters cast a ballot in the election.
Aquino said he was confident the congressional vote tally would be completed next week and the winners would be proclaimed without any question on the credibility of the process.

Operators offered victory for Gibo for P1B, Morato claims
Former Philippine Charity and Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) chairman Manoling Morato on Wednesday claimed Commission on Election employees had approached him offering “sure victory" for administration presidential candidate Gilberto “Gibo" Teodoro Jr. for P1 billion.
Morato, a staunch supporter of Teodoro, made the claim at the House Committee on Suffrage hearing on alleged poll fraud during the May 10 elections.
Last February, seven people came to his office in Quezon City to offer their "services" during the conduct of the automated elections, said Morato, one of two hosts of Dial M, a talk show on the government-led National Broadcast Network which is aired twice weekly.
"It was not offered to me because I was not a candidate. It was being offered to Gilbert Teodoro. I was supposed to be a conduit," he said.
Although he was unable to get full names of the men, he got the first names of at least two of them — a certain "Artie" and "Bong," who both claimed they were from the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
But Morato said he refused the offer, saying Teodoro no intentions of committing poll fraud.
"When they were offering to cheat [in favor of Teodoro], I cut them off. I said it is not in Teodoro's character to do that," Morato said.
The men later "shifted" their offer, he said.
From manipulating poll results in favor of Teodoro, the offered to ensure that the administration bet would not be cheated.
If he were to be shown photographs of Comelec officials, he would be able to identify these seven people, adding he never informed Teodoro about the alleged offer.
He also said he expects that the administration would move to track down the cheats after his revelation.
At the hearing, Morato also read from "notes" he made to jot down portions of their conversation on the day he was approached by the alleged 'operators' for the Comelec.
The people also allegedly presented diagram detailing the process of carrying out fraud during the elections.
The plan would either alter the source code used in the voting machines, switch compact flash cards, or intercept the transmission of election returns.
The scheme presented to him appear to corroborate claims earlier made by a certain Robin — also known as Koala Bear — that he was among those who "operated" in the rigging of polls.
Lawyer Homobono Adaza on Wednesday reappeared during the ongoing House probe on alleged poll fraud to present Morato as his informant about regional poll officials involved in poll manipulation of the recently-concluded elections.
Mike Toledo, Teodoro's spokesperson, was unavailable for comment as of posting time.

Erap camp to present evidence of e-fraud
As lawmakers prepare to buckle down to canvass the votes for president and vice-president, they will be faced with possible complaints on the ballots.
The Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP) plans to present to Congress on Wednesday evidence that will supposedly prove electronic fraud or e-fraud was committed during the elections.
Speaking on ANC's "The Rundown" on Tuesday, PMP lead counsel George Garcia says former President Joseph Estrada lost a lot of votes due to the alleged fraud.
"We would like to establish that certain votes were deducted from him," Garcia says. "There was certain evidence to prove there were data coming from other systems other than the systems set up by Smartmatic. We will try to prove there was cheating that benefitted certain candidates, not necessarily the leading presidential candidate. If that is established, that is also to the benefit of Senator Aquino if he will become the next president, because you wouldn't want to start your presidency your term, where there is a doubt as to your legitimacy."
Garcia says he hopes the move would not be taken to mean the PMP is questioning the mandate or legitimacy of the next president.
"It should be construed to mean the process as well as the evidence and provision of the rules adopted by Congress. Should we rely on the printed results, it should always tally with electronically-printed results," Garcia notes.
The joint committee is expected to decide on these matters.
LP: For protest, go to PET
But Liberal Party deputy spokesperson Liwayway Vinzons-Chato says the PMP's concern goes beyond the scope of the special canvassing committee. She adds it should in no way delay the committee's work to canvass the votes.
"Congress will have to proceed with the canvassing, and if there's any question as to fraud, they can bring it up during canvassing. But their venue should be the [Presidential] Electoral Tribunal (PET) if they question the win of the president," Chato says. "They can bring those matters up, put it on record if they want to, but that should not result in the delay of the canvassing and the eventual proclamation."
Complaints like the one raised by the PMP are expected to be raised during canvassing. But Atty. Koko Pimentel, lead counsel for vice-presidential bet Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay, says this should not stall the canvassing itself.
"Even though the race is close, if the electronic documents are in order, there should be no cause for delay," Pimentel says. "One to two days for preliminary matters should not harm the process. Maybe if the delay is five days, then we will start to complain."
Watch for uncanvassed votes
Both the camps of the Liberal Party and Binay believe they will be able to corner the remaining 9.5% of uncanvassed votes once all the certificates of canvass are counted.
"We are not worried about the 9.5%," Pimentel says. "It will follow the general trend, so the lead of Mayor Binay will increase. We're predicting that his lead will be in the 900,000 plus votes."
"We're also predicting that that 9.5% would give our candidate [Mar Roxas] the lead," Chato adds.
The completion of the canvassing by Congress is expected to settle the winner in the vice-presidential race, reason enough for the Liberal Party to continue watching the votes of its vice-presidential candidate.
"When all the tallies have come in, especially the 9.5% which would give a bigger lead to Mayor Binay, then graciously our vice-presidential candidate would accept what the results would be. However if that 9.5% would be in favor of Mar Roxas, why would we give up," Chato says.
Estrada rules out concession
In the end, however, it may just be Estrada who will question the election results. More than two weeks after the elections, he continues to say he has no plans of conceding the presidential race.
Meantime, the PMP plans to raise their concerns before the joint committee. They also plan to ask Congress to subpoena telephone companies, as well as their audit logs, to determine the authenticity of the electronic transmissions of votes.
The Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP) plans to present to Congress on Wednesday evidence that will supposedly prove electronic fraud or e-fraud was committed during the elections.
Speaking on ANC's "The Rundown" on Tuesday, PMP lead counsel George Garcia says former President Joseph Estrada lost a lot of votes due to the alleged fraud.
"We would like to establish that certain votes were deducted from him," Garcia says. "There was certain evidence to prove there were data coming from other systems other than the systems set up by Smartmatic. We will try to prove there was cheating that benefitted certain candidates, not necessarily the leading presidential candidate. If that is established, that is also to the benefit of Senator Aquino if he will become the next president, because you wouldn't want to start your presidency your term, where there is a doubt as to your legitimacy."
Garcia says he hopes the move would not be taken to mean the PMP is questioning the mandate or legitimacy of the next president.
"It should be construed to mean the process as well as the evidence and provision of the rules adopted by Congress. Should we rely on the printed results, it should always tally with electronically-printed results," Garcia notes.
The joint committee is expected to decide on these matters.
LP: For protest, go to PET
But Liberal Party deputy spokesperson Liwayway Vinzons-Chato says the PMP's concern goes beyond the scope of the special canvassing committee. She adds it should in no way delay the committee's work to canvass the votes.
"Congress will have to proceed with the canvassing, and if there's any question as to fraud, they can bring it up during canvassing. But their venue should be the [Presidential] Electoral Tribunal (PET) if they question the win of the president," Chato says. "They can bring those matters up, put it on record if they want to, but that should not result in the delay of the canvassing and the eventual proclamation."
Complaints like the one raised by the PMP are expected to be raised during canvassing. But Atty. Koko Pimentel, lead counsel for vice-presidential bet Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay, says this should not stall the canvassing itself.
"Even though the race is close, if the electronic documents are in order, there should be no cause for delay," Pimentel says. "One to two days for preliminary matters should not harm the process. Maybe if the delay is five days, then we will start to complain."
Watch for uncanvassed votes
Both the camps of the Liberal Party and Binay believe they will be able to corner the remaining 9.5% of uncanvassed votes once all the certificates of canvass are counted.
"We are not worried about the 9.5%," Pimentel says. "It will follow the general trend, so the lead of Mayor Binay will increase. We're predicting that his lead will be in the 900,000 plus votes."
"We're also predicting that that 9.5% would give our candidate [Mar Roxas] the lead," Chato adds.
The completion of the canvassing by Congress is expected to settle the winner in the vice-presidential race, reason enough for the Liberal Party to continue watching the votes of its vice-presidential candidate.
"When all the tallies have come in, especially the 9.5% which would give a bigger lead to Mayor Binay, then graciously our vice-presidential candidate would accept what the results would be. However if that 9.5% would be in favor of Mar Roxas, why would we give up," Chato says.
Estrada rules out concession
In the end, however, it may just be Estrada who will question the election results. More than two weeks after the elections, he continues to say he has no plans of conceding the presidential race.
Meantime, the PMP plans to raise their concerns before the joint committee. They also plan to ask Congress to subpoena telephone companies, as well as their audit logs, to determine the authenticity of the electronic transmissions of votes.
Congressional canvassing committee convenes anew
Issues hounding the authenticity and due execution of the certificates of canvass (CoC) are expected to be tackled Wednesday as the joint congressional canvassing committee convened at 2:44 p.m.
All seven commissioners of the Commission on Elections (Comelec), officials of its automation partner, Smartmatic Inc., and independent information technology experts are present in the session to answer queries from lawmakers.
Questions were raised on the absence of digital signatures of the board of election inspectors on the election returns. Smartmatic, however, explained that digital signatures were built-in in the precinct count optical scan (PCOS) machines used in the elections.
Congress will canvass a total of 278 CoCs.
Congress created panels from the Senate and the House of Representatives composed of nine members each to canvass the votes.
The Senate panel is composed Senate President Juan Ponce-Ernile, Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri, Senators Rodolfo Biazon, Alan Cayetano, Aquilino Pimentel, Gregorio Honasan, Edgardo Angara, Ramon Revilla Jr. and Joker Arroyo.
The House panel is composed of Speaker Prospero Nograles as chairman, majority leader Arthur Defensor, minority leader Ronaldo Zamora, senior deputy majority leader Neptali Gonzales II, senior deputy minority leader Roilo Golez, Representatives Crispin Remulla (Cavite), Didagen Dilangalen (Shariff Kabunsuan with Cotabato City), and Matias Defensor (Quezon City), and Michael John Duavit (Rizal).

New president, VP proclaimed before June 15
A new president and vice president will be proclaimed on or before June 15, Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile said on Monday as Congress takes the first step in canvassing the votes for the top two positions in the land.
"Realistically speaking, I’d say that the earliest we can proclaim is June 4, the latest as far as I’m concerned is June 15," Enrile told reporters in an interview.
The two houses of Congress — the Senate and the House of Representatives — will meet Tuesday to approve the rules to be used in the canvassing of the first nationwide automated elections in the country.
He said the actual canvassing could start on Wednesday or after they hear first the explanation of election officials regarding the irregularities that allegedly marred the May 10 polls. He said they would still tackle the poll fraud issue despite the fact that it was not part of their mandate.
"That [poll fraud issue] will be a problem that will be taken up in the Presidential Electoral Tribunal, but we will hear them, to what extent those dayaan (cheating) affected the result of the elections," he said.
Enrile said they would spend the first two days hearing the explanation of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) and technology provider Smartmatic regarding poll fraud allegations.

Nine-member panels
Earlier in the day, the two chambers formed their respective nine-member panel that would convene as the National Board of Canvassers.
The House panel is composed of House Speaker Prospero Nograles, Majority Leader Arthur Defensor, Minority Leader Ronaldo Zamora, Senior Deputy Majority Leader Neptali Gonzales II, Senior Deputy Minority Leader Roilo Golez, Reps. Crispin Remulla (Cavite), Didagen Dilangalen (Shariff Kabunsuan with Cotabato City), and Matias Defensor (Quezon City), and Michael John Duavit (Rizal).
For the Senate it will be Enrile, Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri, Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel Jr., and Senators Rodolfo Biazon, Alan Peter Cayetano, Gregorio Honasan II, Edgardo Angara, Ramon “Bong" Revilla Jr., and Joker Arroyo.
Alternate members could sit in respective panels of the Senate and House, if ever regular members fail to participate in the canvassing.
Senate ProTempore Jinggoy Estrada has formally manifested his inhibition from the canvassing, saying his father, former President Joseph Estrada, ran for president and ranks second based on unofficial results.
"So as not to have a cloud of doubt to our electorate that this Representation will exert any pressure to the nine members of Senate to the Joint Committee to the advantage of my father and to put premium to our long respected tradition of delicadeza, I respectfully inhibit from the canvass proceedings," he said.

Rules
Enrile said he asked the senators to study House Resolution 34, which contains the chamber's draft rules on the canvassing of votes for president and vice president, "so that when we meet in joint session, we will adopt the rules subject to refinements as the members of the Senate might wish to introduce."
"The purpose of discussion is to see to it that we adopt transparency, credibility, fairness and accuracy in this canvass and at the same time be sure that we can accomplish our work so that the country will have a president and vice president to succeed the present presidency and vice presidency on June 30 at noon," he said.
In a separate interview, Senator Francis Pangilinan expressed doubt whether they would be able to adopt the rules in just one day.
"I doubt it. I'd like it approved right away pero mahirap ma-aprove ng isang araw yung debate sa rules (but it’s hard to debate on the rules in just one day)," he said.
He also doubts if they will be able to finish the canvassing in two weeks.

Count war between Binay, Roxas continues
Despite being behind on all counts and exit polls, the Liberal Party camp has not given up hope that its vice-presidential candidate Sen. Manuel “Mar” Roxas II may still be declared the winner.
In a paid advertisement published in the Philippine Daily Inquirer (PDI) on Sunday, the LP’s think-tank, National Institute of Policy Studies (NIPS), said the real winner in the vice-presidential elections will be determined in the national canvass that will be conducted by Congress starting this week.
The paid ad shows a Philippine map with 41 provinces and highly-urbanized cities in Roxas’ campaign color, blue, where Roxas beat Binay.
“Hindi sinasabi ni Mar Roxas na siya ang panalo. Mas lalo itong hindi dapat ipagmalaki ni Jojo Binay,” the ad says.
It explained that the winner in the elections will not be determined by how many regions a candidate won, but by the national count.
It added that the winner will only be determined based on the results from Certificates of Canvass (COC) of 81 provinces and 26 highly-urbanized cities (HUC), including results from the Overseas Absentee Voting (OAV).
The NIPS said that based on these COCs, Roxas won in 41 provinces and cities, and he won by big margins.
Binay count ad
Last Tuesday, the Binay camp also had published in the Inquirer a paid ad of a Philippine map showing 14 out of 17 regions in red where Binay won.
The Binay ad says the people’s choice for vice-president can no longer be changed. It also includes the results of the counts from the Commission on Elections, Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting, the ABS-CBN-STI parallel manual count, ABS-CBN-Pulse Asia Exit Poll, and the TV5-SWS exit poll which all had Binay ahead.
The NIPS said no one can still say what will be the final result of the vice-presidential polls.
It said the final result will come in due time after Congress canvasses the COCs in a process that is orderly and based on what the law provides.
The NIPS urged everyone to respect this process. Given the closeness of the fight, no one should yet proclaim victory in the vice-presidential elections, it added.

Locsin tags Ermita as source of 'Koala Boy' video
House committee on suffrage and electoral reforms chairman and Makati Rep. Teodoro “Teddy Boy” Locsin tagged former executive secretary Eduardo Ermita as the Palace official who supplied the video of poll fraud whistle blower “Robin”.
"It was Ed Ermita who supplied the tapes. I have nothing against Ed. Ed Ermita is supposedly part of it,” Locsin said in an interview in dzMM’s Pasada Sais Trenta Sabado.
Locsin also said former Environment secretary Lito Atienza, who lost in the mayoral race in Manila, and Defense Secretary Norberto Gonzales appear to have knowledge about the exposé.
“Lito Atienza, he seems to know about it. We were talking with Bel Cunanan (Robin's spokesman), they need security. It was Lito Atienza who told me [to] call Bert Gonzales and he will give security," said the Makati congressman.
ABS-CBN tried to contact Ermita but he could not be reached for comment.
Locsin issued the statement in retaliation to Presidential spokesman Ricardo Saludo, who questioned the basis of his claim.
"Your editors should tell whoever did that reporting that they should ask Cong. Locsin. Kung kayo nagcocover ng Malacañang, kung narining n'yo ang Malacañang nagpahayag ng ganito, laban sa isang tao, your first question will be 'Sir, ano ho ang basehan ninyo?’ Well, why can't your reporters covering Congress do the same thing?" said Saludo in an interview over Radyo ng Bayan.
Locsin, however, said he will continue his tirade against the Palace if it continues on denying his claim.
“According to them, this guy (Robin) is for real... Fine. But as long as Malacañang keeps opening its mouth, I will keep opening my mouth,” he said.
He earlier scored Malacañang for urging the House committee on electoral reform and suffrage to stop hearing allegations of fraud from losing candidates and just leave it to the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to investigate.
"That is surely rich coming from people who are behind the Koala bear gimmick, designed to throw into total discredit the superb leadership of the Comelec, which tried, not always with success. To prevent embedded operators and syndicates from capturing the new electronic election system," the congressman said.

PPCRV-KBP 2010 Voting Count Comes to a Close
The Press Conference began with PPCRV National Chairperson Ambassador Henrietta Tambunting De Villa thanking all of the volunteers as well as the companies who provided the organization with much needed supplies. The computers and the software used to encode and process the Election Returns were made available by CompVille and Cybersoft respectively, while food for the volunteers was taken care of by various food companies.
After the recognition of the various sponsors, Ambassador De Villa, together with the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas Chairman Jun Nicdao, explained to the media the process of comparing the manually encoded 4th copy Election Returns with the transmitted data from Comelec.
The 4th copy Election Returns, as explained by PPCRV Communications Director Ana De Villa-Singson, is the purest form of data because it is ‘Pre-Transmission’ data, meaning it is the data before it is transmitted to Comelec’s server. It is manually encoded by two teams separately, after which the Cybersoft software reviews the encodings and flags differences between the two. A team of Floor Managers inspects the flagged data and corrects accordingly. The final encoded data is then bashed against the transmitted data from the Comelec server in Pius.
As of May 18, 2010, out of 43, 035 Election Returns, there were a total of 29 discrepancies, equating to 29 pecincts nationwide. PPCRV categorized these discrepancies into four kinds:
| TYPE | 4th Copy ER of PPCRV | Transmitted Data in Comelec Server (PIUS) | Number of Incidences: To total ERs Encoded |
| 1 | Reflects votes cast | Transmitted zero votes | 4 Precincts 0.01% |
| 2 | Reflects votes cast | Transmitted all votes cast with the exception of one candidate wherein transmitted vote is lower by 1 count | 2 Precincts 0.005% |
| 3 | Reflects votes cast | Transmitted votes with numerical values less than 10 | 19 Precincts 0.05% |
| 4 | Reflect votes with numerical values less than 10 | Transmitted votes cast | 4 Precincts 0.01% |
PPCRV has elevated these findings to the Comelec for proper action. While the main command center will be shut down, the organization will continue encoding the Election Returns until it is finished.
Roxas: Losing VP race 'possible'
For the first time since the May 10 elections, Liberal Party candidate Sen. Manuel "Mar" Roxas has admitted that he could lose the vice-presidential race despite being the frontrunner throughout most of the campaign period.
Asked if he is prepared to lose the vice-presidential race to rival bet Jejomar Binay, Roxas said: "Pagka-file pa lang ng certificate of candidacy, may posibilidad naman talaga na magtagumpay ka o hindi so lahat naman yan ay kabahagi sa tinahak natin."
Roxas made the statement during a celebration at the house of his runningmate, Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III, in Times Street, Quezon City.
Roxas and his supporters in the Liberal Party have predicted a "hairline win" for the vice-presidential bet despite trailing by some 800,000 votes to Binay. The LP camp based their prediction on the certificates of canvass gathered by the party.
On the other hand, Aquino is clearly leading in the presidential race based on vote tallies conducted by ABS-CBN, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) and the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV).
High-ranking officials of the United States embassy in the Philippines visited Aquino on Friday.
US Ambassador Harry Thomas Jr. met with Aquino in his home in Times St., Quezon City, accompanied by other embassy officials, Leslie Bassett, deputy chief of mission; Brian Doherty, economic counselor; David Eiseenberg, deputy political counselor; Richard Nelson, public affairs counselor.
Thomas said the visit should not be seen as an indication that the US is already recognizing Aquino as the next president of the Philippines.
Asked if he is prepared to lose the vice-presidential race to rival bet Jejomar Binay, Roxas said: "Pagka-file pa lang ng certificate of candidacy, may posibilidad naman talaga na magtagumpay ka o hindi so lahat naman yan ay kabahagi sa tinahak natin."
Roxas made the statement during a celebration at the house of his runningmate, Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III, in Times Street, Quezon City.
Roxas and his supporters in the Liberal Party have predicted a "hairline win" for the vice-presidential bet despite trailing by some 800,000 votes to Binay. The LP camp based their prediction on the certificates of canvass gathered by the party.
On the other hand, Aquino is clearly leading in the presidential race based on vote tallies conducted by ABS-CBN, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) and the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV).
High-ranking officials of the United States embassy in the Philippines visited Aquino on Friday.

Manuel "Mar" Roxas II is leading over Makati City Mayor Jejomar Binay in the vice presidential race by over 137,000 votes
Senator Manuel "Mar" Roxas II is leading over Makati City Mayor Jejomar Binay in the vice presidential race by over 137,000 votes, his political group, the Liberal Party (LP), claimed on Monday.
LP general campaign manager Florencio "Butch" Abad said Roxas's supposed 137,404-lead was based on the 88 certificates of canvass (COC) that the party has access to as the dominant minority party that was recognized by the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
"We hold the official certificates of canvass that was given to the Liberal Party as the dominant opposition party," said Abad at a press conference in Araneta Center, Quezon City.
According to the GMA tally based on ERs received through the Comelec server in the Pius Center, Binay leads Roxas by 812,265 votes, with 90% of ERs counted. There are an estimated three million votes left to count. [See: Eleksyon 2010 partial, unofficial tally of ERs]
Binay’s party, the Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP), meanwhile challenged the LP to make public the COCs.
JV Bautista, a senatorial candidate under PMP, said data from the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) and other groups doing the unofficial tally show that Binay is still leading the race in 14 of the country’s 17 regions.
Relying purely on records
“Apparently they (LP) are saying that they have in their possession provincial certificates of canvass. Now the question to ask them at this stage is were you able to get the COC by yourselves without any copy being given to the PPCRV and the KBP (Kapisanan ng Broadkaster ng Pilipinas). Please remember that the camp of Binay is relying purely on the records being reported by the PPCRV and the Comelec and nothing else," Bautista said at a press conference held at the Makati City Hall.
Abad said the LP was willing to show the COCs but could not provide copies to the media as of yet. "We are simply relying on the certificates of canvass that we are getting from our people in the field," he said.
Lito Anzures, Binay’s spokesman, said that while Roxas may be leading in Region 6, Region 7, and in the Caraga region, the votes he got from these areas were not enough to overtake Binay’s lead.
According to Azures, Binay got 20 percent of the votes in Western Visayas while Roxas got 63 percent. He said Binay got 30 percent of the votes in Central Visayas while Roxas received 58.5 of the votes.
Analysis
Based on an analysis of counted clustered precincts, GMANews.TV projects that Roxas would cut Binay's lead by only 63,600 votes when all election returns have been canvassed. (This last figure was an increase on May 17 from 31,600 after an analysis of the updated tally)
The analysis was based on voting trends established in counted clustered precincts in the same localities as uncounted precincts. For Roxas to win, the clustered precincts that remain uncounted would have to yield voting results far different from those in the counted precincts.
It is only Congress, convening as the National Board of Canvassers, which is authorized to canvass the votes and proclaim the new president and vice president of the country. The Senate and House of Representatives will most likely convene as NBC on May 25 after the respective chambers approve the rules on May 24.
