Certianly Malacañng don’t want to see the result of the AMA and STI quick count since they can see the sweet defeat from there side. Press freedom is slowly getting blurred in the Philippines.

it’s absurd! so comelec can manipulate the election? no way! in fact the media is our watchdog during the election and still they are our eyes on this long long long canvassing process. let them do their job mr. abalos ok? and you, do your job as well!

masyado nu nmang inaapi ang GO!’ sa media counting na nga lang sila umaasa e pnahinto nu p. for what reasons?? in favor of whom?? for the benefits of??

i don’t think the comelec has the right to stop media count, authorized or not. they are just re-checking the counting. ok lang sana na itigil nila yung iba pang counting kung mapagkakatiwalaan ang COMELEC…e hindi naman e!

This is a free country, we are in a democracy and it happens that the two networks are capitalists, and so therefore, they need the ratings to outdo each other. They should have been more circumspect about the possible confusion that may arise from their “unauthorized” tabulation.

well it only shows that they [the comelec] are afraid that the Filipinos might see that media results and theirs would be somewhat different…

2 & 7 stop your quick counts, let comelec do their dirty works.

media counts are more reliable than comelec.

huwag dapat itigil ang pagbilang ng mga media networks. dahil ba lamang ang GO? pero pag TU lamang syempre hindi ipagbabawal.

Ituloy ang Media Count, pero suggestion ko lang, lagyan ng BREAKDOWN ang votes at least according to REGIONS. Extra work pero mas informative na approach.

this comelec of ours if obvious of their agenda. they just don’t want Filipinos to know what is exactly happening in the election’s count. this 2 networks (i’m sure) are saying “these are unofficial results” and therefore be subjected as it is. and therefore also there’s no need for this abalos to spring-up his head and give “sanctions” to this networks who are doing good and doing what is necessary for us Filipinos to know. Anyway, who would want honest results, its us and for them? I don’t know…

well, if TU is winning its bets, are you still going to stop the “quick counts” of 2 and 7? I don’t think so. Nevertheless, Mr. Abalos its your agency and NAMFREL will proclaim the official results, right? So what’s bothering you? What’s getting your ass burnt? Tsk, tsk, tsk…

STAY VIGILANT. Leaders, lawyers, people in media, politically educated volunteers, let us help those we voted into office guard their votes all the way..

Let us pray and Act. But trust God, not man. He is in control. Let God arise, and His enemies be scattered!

P.S. They cannot stop everyone. Inquirer.net, Eleksyon 2007, continues to show AMA, NAMFREL and COMELEC tallies.. though slower than the ABS-CBN STI count.

Joseph

why should they? media count give us quick eye on what’s going on sa cavassing… specialy sa national positions… kapag walang media coverage, walang sagabal sa dayaan… un siguro ang dahilan ng administrasyon kaya ito ipinagutos sa comelec….

they should stop for the mere fact that it is not “authorized”. whatever you may call it, it is still illegal.

Sa tingin ko ay nakadagdag lng ng confusion sa voting public itong unofficial counting na ginagawa ng mga tv stations together with their counterparts, most specially that they (tv stations) are not mentioning the particular places that the votes they have counted came from. For me, I think Namfrel being accredited should be the only one allowed to do a quick count.

Lets face it. The only reason they want to STOP the counting from the media because that is the only way Gloria Arroyo, Can CHEAT, CHEAT BIG! Now that media counting STOP they’re free to CHEAT again just like what happen in 2004 Presidential election. Now, That the media stop counting Gloria Arroyo, Cronies is free to do all their cheating. Thats including COMELEC/NAMFREL after all they’re the one do all the cheating in 2004 Presidential election.

To the people who do the cheating for Gloria Arroyo, If you like what Gloria Arroyo, Doing to the filipino people go ahead CHEAT, AND CHEAT BIG FOR HER. I just hope that you’ve able to eat 3 x a day when her candidates wins. And just hope that you’re not going to be the next person to be kill. By her AFP/PNP. And god may have mercy of your soul for doing the evil thing!

Julie: The reason Gloria Arroyo, Want the media counting to stop so that they can cheat, cheat, big for her tuta. Now, That the media counting is stop thats means they can do their cheating operation freely. We the filipino people the one going to suffer if her candidates win in the senates. Its means Gloria Arroyo, well be in power forever!

Please, Contenue the media counting! I’m calling all media. Do your job you suppose too. If you stop counting, Them we’re all doom as a nation. 2004 election all over again.

Its so obvious why they want to stop media counting. As soon as media counting stop Gloria Arroyo, Candidates start showing in the winning circle.

Ang ibig sabihin nito all system go for all their cheating operation. Talagang tama ako! Hindi ako mali when I said that this bugos President of cebu will do anyting to stay into her stolen power, I was right.

And the only way she can do that is for her candidate to win this election.

I only hope that when Gloria Arroyyo, Cheating machine finish cheating the filipino people is not going to rebolt against her. Ha, Ha! If that happen she’s dead meat either way!

Lets join together and guard our votes. And if she succeed on cheating, Lets join together and protest our right. Thats its been shitting by this bugos President of cebu. May godbless each and everyone of us. Thank you!

Andoy:

How can you say that media counting is iligal? Media have the right to tell people their story. This is not just a make believe story, This is the news that people should know so that nobody can cheat this election. And if they do cheat it won’t be that big. Now that they succeeded on stoping the media counting thats means Gloria Arroyo, Et al. Can do whatever they want to do.

Especially in Mindanao they’re already doing their cheating out there! And this is not a lie either. I have relatives in Mendanao to attest of whats going on out there.

Our only hope is for the people who’s counting the votes sana maconsinya naman sila. At sana naman gawin nila ang tama. And count the votes correctly. At sana wag naman nila gawin ang mali, At sana may hadlok sila sa dios sa mga ginahimo nila nga mala-in. If they’re going to do the evil thing because of money. Then there is nothing we can do about it except defeat and hope that the filipino people is not going to the street and rebolt against these evil in Malacanyang palace!

WHAT..? THEY WANT TO STOP THE MEDIA COUNT…? WHY? IT IS OUR RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT IS THE LATEST..? DOES IT MEAN WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE COMELEC COUNTING THAT IS TOO SLOW..? WHOS GOING TO BENIFIT ON THAT…? IT IS A CLEAR VIOLATION OF OUR RIGHT TO KNOW…. GO AHEAD FELLOW MEDIA…FOR THE GLORY OF OUR NATION AND FOR GOD.

Joey:

In 2004 Namfrel / comelec the one doing the counting. Just look what happen. They cheat, Cheat, Big! Do you want that to happen again? Hello, Garci. Wake-up! If Gloria Arroyo, Candidates win this election she’ll be in power forever. Payag ka ba? Can you stomack what she’s been doing? She’s selling the filipino people to the highest bidder. I guess its okay, with you. Ako hindi….

Salina:

When something is not authorized then what will you call it? “Illegal” may be a strong term, I admit. But, still, it is unauthorized.

Whoever is conducting it, even if UN will conduct the quick count, if it is unauthorized then it should stop.

Of course, they should have get a permission first like Namfrel.

JB:

My god,. Don’t you know that there is no more press freedon anymore in this country. Matagal ng wala. Mike Arroyo, Take all media to court because he knows can do it. He wants the media to stop telling the filipino people all the corruption under this bugos President of cebu.

Just look what happen in election there is lots of AFP/PNP scanter all over the place not to protect the ballots but to help this bugos President of cebu cheat for their candidates. This is one of the reason why they don’t want Capt. Trillanes to win because they knows better. Like he said MAGTANGOL AT MAG SILBI. We need somebody like him, Because of him and the magdalo soldier’s the corruption in AFP has come out.

Remember Carlos Garcia? He’s one of Gloria Arroyo, Lapdog! If Capt. Trillanes didn’t do anything about it, Carlos Garcia still be stealing the gov’t coffer.

Hello,

Everybody I just finish reading the news. And according to the comelec TU 12-0 in Maguindanao.

See, What I tell you! As soon as the media stop counting the votes, Tuta ni Gloria, Starting winning! This is one of the reason why they want the media to stop counting the votes so that they can cheat freely. Yep! its been happening….This election is worse then 2004 Presidential election.

Sige, Mang daya kayo! Mag ready din kami!!!

I was really surprised last Monday to find the TV stations conducting a quick count. Last time I heard from the news before the election, only Namfrel was authorized to do it. I thought, so maybe Comelec gave them permission. Then this news came.

They should have seen this coming, those conducting the so called quick counts. They should have asked for permission first. Who knows where their data comes from. Namfrel has a copy of the election return so they can verify their data.

Enough said.

The TU 12-0 in Maguidanao is ridiculous. This administration is inviting disasters in all fronts.

Andoy:

Why should the media have to ask permission, Its their job to report the news. What they’re reporting is the true count. They’re only reporting what they see.

You must be the bugos President supporter. As I said before the reason they want the media stop counting so they can cheat freely. Have you read the news lately?

After the media stop counting tuta ni Gloria start winning. For instance in Maguindanao tu 12-0. Bullshit!!!!!! 12-0 my ass!!!!

well, comelec may be right! it is not curtailment of one’s right it is just a matter of process or simply, a procedure.
in anything you do, standard procedure must be followed so as not to create chaos!
as citizens, we must follow the process or else we would be lost! so namfrel is the authorized citizen arm for the unofficial counting then let’s follow namfrel. still, the results are more or less the same.
unofficial media count may help in one way or the other to prevent cheating in any form but it failed to get authority from the comelec, thus, we must follow namfrel count!
as good citizens, we must be watchful always and protect our votes!

Andoy:

Your logic stink!!! just like the pasig river. Where I want to throw the bugos President of cebu. You don’t get it do you. Iligal my ass! the filipino people are depending on their count. So that the comelec/namfrel can’t cheat. I guess you want them to cheat so Gloria Arroyo, Can stay into her stolen power forever.

The only iligal I know is Gloria Arroyo, She don’t deserve to be in malacanyang palace because she don’t have a mandate from the filipino people.

She only stole her title from the duly elected president Joseph Estrada, And she stole it again in May 10, 2004. Presidential election from Fernando Poe, Jr.

Gloria Arroyo, Nothing but a power grabber. She’s the bugos President.

Kalamayan:

Tama ka gid. Belat ni Gloria cheating again. Are you going to let them stole our votes? don’t forget that only election time that rich/poor are equal.

Kaya bantayan at ipaglaban ang ating mga boto.

No, Kowrie: They’re afraid that they can’t cheat for Gloria Arroyo. If the media keep counting the votes.

Oh come on Mr. ANDOY!!! Did I read it right? You were ” REALLY SURPRISED TO FIND TV STATIONS CONDUCTING A QUICK COUNT”?

How old are you? I would say, there are lots of reason WHY you were startled about the CONDUCT OF QUICK COUNTS, thus, to wit:

1 - It is your first time to see a television. You haven’t watched TV before so that you could have seen that during the 2004 election there really was a quick count conduccted by some TV Stations/Institutions

2 - It is your firts time to vote! You were not mindful to know who was winning the race/election last 2004 based on the quick count.

3 - You are a BIG FAT LIAR!!!

hahah!!! stopping media count? hell n o! 12-0 in maguindanao? UNBELIEVABLE!!! I can believe if it isnt..Why there’s always cheating in election? Politics is soooooo MADUMI! when I saw the standings, it is clear that the Team Unity and Go had mixed up..but then again, in maguindanao, Team unity swept out the votes? so unbelievable…I guess I really don’t believein politics here in the Philippines! candidates spend alot of money for vote buying just to win! For you candidates…YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT!

Shortsightedness due to greed for power! Ombudsman/DILG against Binay and Trinidad turned votes GO’s way. Nuisance Candidates ired voters.

Prior to the Elections, the gov’t snobbed instigators because the people were sleeping. By cheating, the Government itself will be its biggest instigator.

They say that by nature, pinoys are politically apathetic. Not right after a political excercise. We’re still warming down. My feeling is that the gov’t is inches away from another People Power reaction.

Those who voted spoke. Those who did not vote are fed up. Lokohin mo na ang lasing, huwag lang ang bagong gising. Insult these people and they will hit the streets.

hay andoy!!!

Bakit andaming nagbubulag-bulagan na katulad mo..

Sa halip na palayasin natin ang mga MAKASARILI AT GAHAMAN e KINAKAMPIHAN pa natin..HAY BUHAY!!!!

COMELEC ba e kanyo? Baka naman COMELIC..

COM-mission on
EL - imination of
C - ayetano

We were patiently waiting before for the result of the election, but what did our “dearest” leaders do? They seized that opportunity to cheat coz we were unmindful, not vigilant and unwatchful!

Are we going to repeat that same mistake again?

In the first place, we should be thankful coz GMA, ABS and these computer institutions did our favor, didn’t they?

We are as patient as possible even if this COMELEC of ours moves even slower than a turquoise. BUT, what did SOME do in the previous election? They seized the opportunity for our BEING unmindful, unwatchful and not vigilant!! They cheated!! (they even said SORRY already, so why didn’t they stepped out of the way?)

Are we going to repeat that same mistake again? To SHUT UP and TURN OUR BACK AWAY COZ IT’S “BIG GUYS BUSINESS”?

We’re trying our best to be as patient as possible even if this COMELEC of ours moves even slower than a turquoise. BUT, what did SOME do in the previous election? They seized the opportunity for our BEING unmindful, unwatchful and not vigilant!! They cheated!! (they even said SORRY already, so why didn’t they stepped out of the way?)

Are we going to repeat that same mistake again? To SHUT UP and TURN OUR BACK AWAY COZ IT’S “BIG GUYS BUSINESS”?

The “QUICK COUNT” we are talking about was agreed upon between the COMELEC and the PRESS..for instance, ABS CBN and COMELEC. In fact, there was a memorandum of agreement signed by both parties..is someone out there UNKNOWLEDGEABLE of this fact? Uh! ohh!

..and is someone/anyone out there believes that the figures consolidated, summarized and reported by the PRESS were picked “OUT OF NOWHERE”? You’re kidding me!! Do all of us know what a THESIS is? How were the figures/statisics/summary concluded? Does it need to know ALL the answers of the world? Ridiculous if anyone says yes!!! It needs a random selection and strategic planning, doesn’t it. I believe the PRESS are more wise than some of us..they need no instruction from us!

Haaaay, Everybody good morning! Coffee muna tayo bago ako mag sigaw.

And hello, 12 OUNBELIEVABLE. I read your posting.

Yep! When I read that in Maguindanao the tu win 12-0 This is one of the reason why they want the media to stop counting the votes so they can cheat freely. oh ano believe na kayo!

IF GLORIA ARROYO, SUCCEED ON THEIR CHEATING OPERATION. LETS JOIN HANDS AND FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHT AS A CITIZEN. LETS NOT HER GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING EVEN MURDER. BECAUSE IF WE DO LALO TAYO RIN ANG MAGHIHIRAP HINDI SILA. THEY’RE EAITHING MORE THAN 3 X A DAY. MARIMI SA ATIN HALOS HINDI NA NAGA KA-ON.

AND REMEMBER ONE THING IF GLORIA ARROYO, CANDIDATES WIN THIS ELECTION SHE’LL BE IN POWER FOREVER. AND HELLO, CHA, CHA,……

I guess this blog won’t let me post again. are you the supporter of this bugos president of cebu? what I’m posting here is the truth nothing but the truth so help me god. stop protecting this bugos president. kong away mong mahihirap itong pinas.

yeah you can all call it “illegal” but as far as i know during the 2004 election abalos stops the media count (they abide) and your gloria wins a year after “hello garci” came out

now talk about “legality”

My position on this matter has irritated the nerves of others. Well, not that it’s unexpected but here’s some URL to state the fact, if you care to know it.

How old am I? Is it my first time to see a television? Is it my first time to vote? Very amusing.

Am I pro-PGMA or anti? I don’t want to partake in this kind of divisive attitude that our leaders sow among us knowing that behind those rhetorics the line between the administration and opposition is a blurry one.

Yobs:

These idiots don’t know what the heck they’re talking about, When they claim that media counting is iligal. Iligal for whom? The only reason they want the media counting to stop so that they can CHEAT FREELY.

Bantayan ang atin boto. At sana naman the people who’s counting the votes going to do their job they suppose too.

At bilagin ang boto sa tama lang. Kong hindi kayo rin!!! If tuta ni Gloria, win for cheating she’ll be in power forever! payag ba kayo noon. Payag ba kayong dayain na naman tayo. Hangang saan tayo mag paloko sa belat ni Gloria. Tama na sobra na.

Remember one thing every vote is important. If you think your vote is not important then go ahead and let Gloria Arroyo, With her cronies cheat you out of it. When that happen tayo rin ang magdusa. If you let them get away with all their cheating then you deserve what you’re getting. Please, Guard our votes, Our life depend on it.

To all of you, Who’s attacking Andoy, Because he’s taken the comelec side. Please, Forgive him he doesn’t know what he’s doing. Ha, Ha!

But, Andoy/Gloria Arroyo, Make a handsome couple. They’re both Liar’s…..

Mr. Andoy..will you also please mind..

OHHH!!! WE are already aware that NAMFREL is an accredited organization to do a quick count..ABS CBN and GMA too aired their own during the 2004 election but there was no seizure.. I am quite sure.. coz I WATCH TV..?! (I wonder why this time…)

Why didn’t/can’t I see a single member of the PPCRV inspite of this news on “PPCRV strategy to combat cheating”..is there a lapse of sight even for the members of our local media?

Are we going to let the FOREIGN media to do “OUR OWN FIGHT”…let them expose OUR immorality and wickedness coz maybe it is a better way sorting things out, SETTING ALL THINGS RIGHT and bringing justice to each and everyone of us?

Isn’t it more RELAXING and COMFORTING if we FILIPINOS are the ones doing our JOB? Or are we just going to PATIENTLYyyyyy wait for our government to CORRECT ITSELF???!!!

Mr. Andoy,

ito pa po..ewan ko na lang if magkikibit balikat pa din kayo..

I believe people in the Media are all Bias, self serving and trying to manupulate lives. Media here in the Philippines doesnt have any credibility. I were trying to study the trend of news here. All i can say is imbalance and they are the one who make this country chaotic 1st Major TV channels are responsible for all issues arise here in Phils. (remember Erap ouster? whos give’s special coverage to oust Erap) 2nd trying to oust GMA (special coverage and trying to agetate the issue) 3rd. Election issue giving media millage to oppositions. Now please tell us na Media are not Baias. Its hard to go home in evening watching ABS-CBN and GMA7 manupulating the lives of Pilipinos and tying to pull the Philippines to it’s knees.

I wonder why the government managed channels weren’t mentioned in the criticism. Are they unbiased?

Media networks are there for the money. They want to portray the info and trend para panoorin sila at magbook ng mga ads. Selfish bastards they alla are. The trends are manipulated information to mislead all of us.

Actually the Quick Count of ABS-CBN and STI preempted those who had intended to cheat.

Masama loob ng mandaraya dahil maraming nahirapang mag mane-obra, mabilis and reaksiyon ng grupong ito oras na makuha nila ang resulta sa Election Returns.

Nawa sa susunod, gagawin nila uli ang Quick Count na ito pero dapat hanggang tuluyang matapos ang bilangan, dahil ang matinding daya ay yaong ginagawa sa huli (Tulad ng Lanao at Maguindanao votes). Ako mismo sasali dito sa susunod.

More power!
