The INC members particularly questioned where the votes for the church-endorsed tandem of Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte and Marcos went.
They said they believed the results of the votes were manipulated in favor of administration candidates Robredo and her running mate Manuel Roxas II.
The INC members called the President and his government “traitors” for robbing them of the votes in favor of his anointed ones.
“The Comelec should explain this [the zero votes for Duterte and Marcos in Bohenge Elementary School in Lamitan City, Basilan]. Now, we are convinced that electoral cheating occurred in Visayas and Mindanao. Where did the votes of the Iglesia Ni Cristo go?” posted Randy Santos, an INC member.
The posts that went viral also saw print in Zamboanga Today in Zamboanga Peninsula.
“We have three locales here in Lamitan City, Basilan. Our votes for Senator Marcos and Duterte have vanished. Please share this so everyone will become aware of the widespread poll cheating,” Santos said.
JanLeander Metille posted: “How did they [Duterte and Marcos] get zero votes? Didn’t you know that INC members [in Lamitan City] brave bullets just to worship? It is impossible that they will not be united in voting for our candidates.”
“We cannot allow the theft of the votes of our people and the votes of INC. If no one will complain, nothing will be disclosed. Let us tell the world of the mischief of the Aquino government, and of the treachery of Aquino,” Joel Arevalo Ramirez said.
For her part, Malou Billo Chavez said: “It looks like they want us to barricade Comelec once again. Just one signal to all of us and we will be there. We are into block voting, how come our candidates did not receive any votes at all? They are fooling the INC? Let’s see how good they are, even that Leni [Robredo].”
“This should be disclosed by the media. It is impossible that our candidates will get zero votes. There is at least one INC member in the place so it is not possible that our candidates will have zero votes. Let us come up with a page that will broadcast the cheating,” Jacob Ascutia posted.
“I call on everyone now to show our true spirit of unity. We should hold rallies now, to protest the theft of our votes,” Mymy Alino Mariano said. - Full story by Christine F. Herrera on The Standard
