Sen. Mar Roxas should go ahead and file an electoral protest, in the national interest, rather than just his challenging Vice President-elect Jojo Binay’s victory. He should do it for the sake of the millions who had voted for him, and even those who did not vote for him. For that matter, all other presidential candidates who have found the automated election system much too prone to electronic fraud, as it has been found during the congressional probe that ended recently, should join in the electoral protest, even if they know they did not win the race. More importantly, the Supreme Court, acting as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal, shouldn’t sit on these electoral protests and wait it out until Roxas, for instance, runs for a Senate seat again in 2013 which has characterized the PET too many times in the past. The reason is simple: The Filipino people must know, not so much who really won the vice presidential race, or the presidential race, for that matter, but more to have the Filipinos know just how much their soveriegn will has been trampled upon — through the Commission on Elections (Comelec) and its partner, Smartmatic-TIM.
