MANILA, Philippines — Foreign observers from the Peoples International Observers Mission (Peoples’ IOM) yesterday were shocked at the conduct of a powerful Presidential appointee and father of two local candidates inside Makati’s polling precincts.
MANILA — Bayan Muna, the leading partylist group in the Philippines, today urged the media to include partylist votes in their unofficial and independent quick counts, citing “almost zero coverage” for these groups.
“We are deeply concerned over the lack and shortage of information on the partylist elections. Such a situation serves the purposes of those who seek to subvert the partylist system and deny victory for winning partylist groups,” said House Deputy Minority Leader and Bayan Muna president Satur Ocampo.
