The camp of Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP) standard bearer President Joseph Estrada yesterday threw its weight behind moves of election watchdog Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) to restore the integrity and credibility of the electoral process by conducting an audit of all 76,475 compact flash cards used in the country’s first ever automated polls held last week. “The PMP firmly believes that mounting reports of electronic fraud, pre-programming of compact flash cards, and other serious irregularities are too many to ignore and must be addressed immediately if the results are to be fully acceptable to the public,” we believe. “Thus we welcome and fully support the PPCRV as it takes the lead in ensuring that compact flash cards used for the precinct count optical scan (PCOS) machines are not only safeguarded but audited to ensure that it is the sovereign people’s will that was reflected in the recent elections.” Last Monday, PPCRV chairperson Henrietta de Villa wrote to Comelec chairman Jose Melo urging, among others, an inventory of the defective flash cards which were replaced a few days before the elections after they failed to accurately read ballots.
