Mr. Victoria, you forgot to mention the municipality of Caibiran….asa naman diay ang mga officials nila? at murag dili man part ng Biliran ang Caibiran.
AGAYYY, F MATULOY ANG ESPINA TO BE CONG & GOV, MEANING SA KAWAYAN 4 KA ESPINA ANG ILANG OPISYALES … MY GOD… KA CLARO BAYA ANI NGA PICTURE…. SHAMELESS PEOPLE
The urgent manual reconciliation of actual voters list against the results produced by the pcos machines need to be done to establish the integrity and credibility of the newly adopted automated system of vote count.
What happened in Biliran cannot just be ignored and treated as a statistical glitz. That glitzt would have costed Biliran another 3 years of slavery to a family who has been hell bent in controlling its political system and resources for their own personal benefit.
Let us not allow Biliran to be part of that 1% discrepancy. Let us demand for a manual reconciliation of the votes and a thorough audit of the total number of machines, serial numbers and flash cards assigned to Biliran.
Where the lives of the Biliranons are at stake and the integrity of the automated system is in doubt, the only way to resolve this is the manual reconciliation and audit of the pcos machines and flash cards used in the Biliran election.
Let us not stop our protest until the COMELEC has acknowledged that this will be done immediately and sets a firm timetable before June 30 2010. We cannot allow a simple filing of an electoral complaint as that avenue is the most abused way that election cheaters have been relying on. Cheaters are banking on the extremely slow motion of justice and cost involved to rectify the error. Most electoral complaints took 3 years to be resolved and most often, just prior to the succeeding elections.
Let us fight for our rights. Let us continue with the protest until COMELEC resolves the issue on or before June 30.
I would like to Congratulate all the winners and wish you all the best!!!

Your potrayal to the winnings of Espina casts a very poor picture of the inteliligent choice of the more than 39k Biliranons who voted for Roger Espina last election. This is an insult to the capacity of these people to choose for what they believe as the right leaders. You have to respect their choices.
Now, if Glen has his wits over his head, he should have known that violent rally outside the Capitol building is NOT an answer to his problem. He should have known that a MANUAL COUNT as of this time when there is already proclaimation is VERY IMPOSSIBLE unless he will lodge a recount petition in the RTC or to the regular courts which will take him at least a minimu of 1 year to have a full blown re count and until then he should sit down and see what happens.
IF Glen is intelligent enough he should accept that he lost by meager votes and losing that way is not at all impossible.
Continuing these rallies is just too absurd because it doesn’t accomplish anything rather it just put the people in grave danger of losing theire tempers and hurting each other in the process.
Let us all see what these siblings can do for Biliran. If they can’t perform a very satisfactory job, then let us replace them in the next election. We as people have the power to do that by casting an honest vote.
UNSAY 39K? BASIG 29K RA!
THE PEOPLE OF BILIRAN DEMAND A MANUAL RECOUNT!
WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID ESPINA & SUPPORTERS?
THE TRUTH!
Congressman Glenn did not perform very satisfactorily.
The people of Biliran gave their judgment. They chose another.
Ato sa papahuwayon si Glenn kay basin gikapoy na siya ug serbisyo ug pagpinangaway sulod sa tulo ka tuig. Ato siyang papahuwayon kay dili na paarang sa silong sa country inn ang kadaghanon sa Fortuners. Ato siyang papahuwayon kay basin sa mosunod nga tulo ka tuig kung siya gihapon ang congressman, mangabot na sab ang uban pang mga igsoon niining maong mga Fortuners. Sige pa raba ug panganak ang planta sa Totyota.
@flint and asa_ka_chong: please look for further evidences before you comment.
Ang maganda seguro flint ang lahat nga mga Espina ang magpapahinga at silay binigyan na ng mga Biliranon ng 15 ka mga taon ng pagkakataon na yumaman sa pawis nga mga Biliranon.
Hindi na mabilang ang mga luxury vehicles na minamaneho mula sa mga mga anak hangang sa mga apo, sa dami nga mga bahay at condiminium, mga resorts sa ibat-bahaging bahagi sa Pilipinas, sa daming mga lupa na nabili at negosyong naipundar sa pambamagitan nga pera ng bayan at sa mga utang kung saan ang mga Biliranon ay nakabaon hanggan buhay.
Mga Biliranon, isang pagkakamali ang pagkahalal ng mga Espina at itoy magbibigay sa kanila ngayon ng 18 ka mga taon upang tuluyang ibaon ang Biliranon sa kawalan at nakakapinsalang mga utang. Ngayon ipinagkatiwala ninyo sa isang maluhong sugarol ang kaban ng bayan. Nilaspag na noon ni Gerryboy ang kaban ng Naval, ngayon ang kaban naman ng probinsiya ng Biliran kagaya ng ginawa ng kanyang at amaq at mga kapatid na isa ring sakin sa pera at kapangyarihan na.
Kailangang bantayan ang kilos ng mga ito at segurohing makakarating sa nakararami. Ika nga, kailangan na ngayon ang vigilant and active opposition upang mabantayan ang kaban ng bayan at ang yamang kalikasan ng Biliran.
