Erap, Binay lead in 4th day of canvassing

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.
