The proclamation of the six leading
senatorial candidates is now HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE.
Renowned election lawyer Romulo Macalintal
said under the rules, the canvass of votes should be completed first “as basis
of such proclamation.”
Macalintal even cited the Supreme Court
decision in the case of Mutuc vs. Comelec which stated that an incomplete
canvass is illegal and cannot be the basis of a subsequent proclamation, and that
“without including the (uncounted) votes in the proclamation is disrespectful
of the returns and in effect disenfranchise the voters.”
Take note, ladies
and gentlemen:
To all these, Comelec
Chairman Sixto Brillantes can only reply: “Pwede naman mag project . . . If the
results cannot be adversely affected. Pwede na mag proclaim.”
Ngayon, SINO ang mas dapat nating pakinggan –si
Tatang Sixto o ang Korte Suprema?
Let’s not forget, guys, the Supreme Court is
the FINAL JUDGE when it comes to questions of law. NOT JUST ELECTION LAWS but
ALL THE LAWS of the country.
So Brillantes had better have an AIR-TIGHT
and ROCK-SOLID proof that he did not IGNORE AND VIOLATE the Supreme Court ruling
in proclaiming the six leading senatorial bets,
He had also better have a MORALLY-CONVINCING justification
for doing so.
The senators-elect will assume office ONLY ON
JUNE 30. That’s still 44 DAYS AWAY, more than enough time for the Comelec to wait
for all the election returns.
If Brillantes will say there is a danger that
NOT ALL the returns will be in before June
30, he had better have a DETAILED EXPLANATION and PHYSICAL BASIS for it..
Kung walang magiging MAKATWIRANG PALIWANAG si
Brillantes sa lahat ng ito, NASISIRAAN NA NG BAIT ang patuloy na maniniwala sa kaniiya,
at sa Comelec.30
