Prior to the May 9, 2022 elections the mechanisms for deception, cheating, fraud and usurpation of People’s Power in favor of the tandem of dictatorship and tyranny were already in place.
The Structure of the Cheating Machinery:
1. Imee Marcos chaired the Senate Committee on Electoral Reforms and People’s Participation.
2. The COMELEC was staffed with commissioners identified with the present Malacañang occupant as classmate, or schoolmate, co- provincianos from Davao and a former Marcos lawyer.
3. COMELEC printed more than 40 million ballots and configured SD card for the Smartmatic machines without any party representative or watchers present.
4. F2 Logistics, a company of the crony of the Malacañang occupant handled the transport of ballots, voting machines, SD cards, election returns and other election paraphernalia from the COMELEC to the precincts and back.
5. One presidential candidate boasted of having met governors and local executives, asking them to count the votes correctly and assuring them of help in their programs for their constituents.
In Philippine electoral realities, it is common knowledge that governors, representatives and local officials have mastered the SOPs of cheating, such as, but not limited to: (a) changing of COMELEC officers not favorable or beholden to them; (b) filling up of ballots and stuffing the boxes with these pre-shaded votes; and (c) even using the Sangguniang Kabataan officers and members to do these tricks by quarantining them for days prior to election day.
6. Red-tagging and creating fake public scandals were tools to discredit and destroy candidates, discourage their supporters and weaken their political machinery. The first target has always been the Left, and then the opposition, by linking the Opposition with the Communists.
7. The Coup-Martial Law-No Elections Options: there was a move to prevent a LeniKiko and Tropa victory, at all cost. This time politicians and the military came up with a fake excuse of a communist violent disruption of the electoral process which could force government and the military to postpone the elections, or declare no elections, until 6 months to a year, from May 9, 2022. In fact, massive opposition rallies were tagged as rehearsals for a new People Power Revolution, instigated by the Left.
Behind the scene was the huge army of trolls in the social media that were paid cultural apparatus tasked to glowingly paint the son of the dictator and the daughter of the tyrant as positive campaigners for unity, that Martial Law was the golden age of the Philippines and that the present Malacañang occupant picked up the progress of the country neglected by succeeding presidents after Martial Law.
A the same time these aggressively demonized most especially the LeniKiko tandem, the Tropa and Makabayan candidates with the most vile language, most hateful charges and lies ranging from the most laughable and degrading commentaries to the most immoral concoctions and demeaning sexual gossips. This use of social media included the mind- conditioning surveys that must be proved by the “results of the actual canvassing of votes, so quick and so massive, so that these results would appear unassailable and acceptable that, confused, the opposition and the masses would have no room to suspect and complain but be sad and lick their defeat in sorrow and grief and powerlessness and utter defeat!”
