TACLOBAN CITY – Neophyte Rep. Rogelio J. Espina questioned the study made by the Center for People Empowerment in Governance (Cenpeg) on alleged fraud in Biliran.
The Cenpeg study entitled “A Case Study: Biliran Province , Probing into Possible Automated Cheating” under Project 3030 Research, cited electoral irregularities in the May 2010 national and local elections in the province.
However, Espina said Cenpeg “has only looked and considered in its study the protest complaint of Chong.”
“This means that the Cenpeg acted only as speaker of Chong,” Espina said in a text message on Friday.
Espina, who served as Biliran governor for three consecutive terms, won the congressional seat in the lone district of Biliran over his closest rival, then reelectionist Rep. Glenn Chong.
Espina said if elections in Biliran had been fraudulent, then two of his allies – sister Roselyn, who ran for vice mayor of Naval, and Lucila Curso, who ran for vice governor – could have not lost.
Espina said the people of Biliran simply rejected his political rivals.
Chong’s father, Charles, lost the gubernatorial race to former Biliran congressman and former Naval mayor Gerardo Espina Jr., a brother of Representative Espina.
Espina said the younger Chong controlled four of eight mayors in Biliran, who shifted alliances during the elections. Most village officials in the province, he said, were also pro-Espina.
“There are really some politicians who cannot accept defeat,” said Espina.
Highlights of Cenpeg report
- The Biliran chapter of Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV), the accredited watchdog in the May 10 elections, was not informed of the reconfiguration of CF cards.
- In one barangay (village) in Caibiran, Biliran, Comelec documents were found falsified, including voters’ list and registration records. A case has been filed against members of the board of election inspectors in relation to this finding.
- Sworn statements were issued saying a deceased resident and some who worked in Metro Manila or overseas on May 10 were recorded as having voted.
- Extension of voting hours in Barangay Iyusan in Almeria town led to more irregularities.
- Voting was extended until May 11 in several villages without prior Comelec approval.
- In some areas, voting went on despite the absence of CF cards.
- Election returns were stamped with the wrong date and time.
- Results by precinct were not made public.
- In five clustered precincts, results were retransmitted but the transmission showed a different Internet protocol address, not that of the PPCRV or Comelec.
- A brownout took place while one Attorney Santos and representatives of an election watchdog, the PiNoy Lawyers, were questioning the votes’ statistics. Rogelio Espina was declared winner of the congressional race when power was restored.

Interbyohon btaw unta mo, pero unsa man, giatubang ba ninyo ang cenpeg? Unya karon nagpaka-aron-ingnon ka congdoctor nga diskompyado ka sa ila case study sa Biliran?

To Biktima si Saul ug 2 ka CIDG (7)
You know Biktima, the truth is truth no matter how the facts and details were twisted but the truth is universally remains the truth!… You have made counter reverses to what what had happened but still the facts point to its originality. Your counter charges are anymore useless even assuming that they are valid. Because the problem is nobody is listening to what you are saying. Even yourself is afraid to hear on what you are saying. Right? Biktima? NObody is listening and believing on you or to the ESPINAS so what is the use of your arguments? Your words are pointless and no weight……I think it is better for you to maybe shutdown?

Congressman Espina should not act like that, as if he questioned like his guilty and liable on election fraud. He should have the strength that he’s not affected of this CASE STUDY. Because a true COLOR is a true COLOR and it never fades. Why to be worry? If he won then he won, he don’t have to be scared of this nightmares. Act a winner not a loser after all Mr. Espina.

ALL ABOUT CENPEG… SAMPAL MUKHA SA NING-QUESTION SA INTEGREDAD UG KREDIBILIDAD SA CENPEG:
ABOUT US
The Center for People Empowerment in Governance (CenPEG) is a public policy center established shortly before the May 2004 elections to help promote people empowerment in governance. Mindful of the elitist and patronage-driven character of the current electoral and political system in the country, CenPEG is especially advocating the democratic representation of the poor.
CenPEG adopts a governance perspective by examining critically the electoral and political systems that give rise to problems like corruption and underdevelopment using governance indicators of transparency, accountability and people participation. The center’s programs are aimed at securing political and electoral changes to help ensure people participation and nurture a culture of integrity in governance. It conducts research and policy studies, education and trainings as well as undertakes advocacy and community-based projects that help people participate as key players in governance.
FELLOWSHIP
CenPEG sees the vital role of local media, people’s organizations and the academe not only as effective sources and purveyors of information but as catalysts of change as well. To pursue its programs in research and education-training, CenPEG taps a wide pool of resource persons coming from diverse backgrounds but commonly advocating the highest ideals of public service in governance. CenPEG “Fellows” are comprised of political analysts, public policy experts, leaders from people’s organizations and academic scholars. They help conduct research on government performance and social investigation on governance concepts and practices. They contribute their knowledge, expertise and experience in public governance as well as in grassroots empowerment.
VISION – MISSION – GOAL
VISION
CenPEG envisions governance that is democratic and pro-people where the marginalized poor become active movers for change in government and society.
MISSION
To ensure the active participation of the marginalized sectors in decision and policy-making in government affairs, and on issues and programs affecting their rights and well-being, CenPEG is committed to
Put the marginalized people’s agenda (democratic rights and interests of workers, farmers, fisherfolk, indigenous and Moro people, women and youth) at the core of government policies and programs.
Promote governance that is empowering — participatory, sovereign, representative, and mass-based.
Advance the politics of change as alternative to one that is elitist and patronage-driven as part of a process to achieve fundamental societal changes.
GOALS
To work for and promote a unified framework of democratic governance among a wide range of groups with shared principles and values based on the people’s agenda and program for genuine development. Empowerment of marginalized sectors through policy studies, education and training that challenge the elitist character of governance in favor of one that is democratic, participatory and representative of the sovereign will of the people.
OBJECTIVES
Undertake critical policy studies and timely issue analyses.
Develop a comprehensive database program for electoral and political concerns.
Conduct education and training on issues, principles and practices of democratic governance for people’s organizations (POs), broad-based parties and groups.
Advocate politics of change and the people’s agenda as bases for good/honest governance
Support people’s initiatives, mobilizations and other forms of active intervention in state affairs
Promote stronger linkages and coordination among/between: elected people’s representatives and their constituencies, representative political parties, and concerned groups and individuals promoting people empowerment.
What CenPEG says about the three basic indicators of governance?
Transparency
”In a democratic state, transparency becomes integral to the whole process of governance as it promotes democratic access and the right of the people to public information.”
”Transparency is never decreed and is inherent in a democratic society. It allows the active participation of marginalized sectors’ in defining and shaping the destiny of a country.”
“To be transparent also means to be responsive to criticisms and open to change.”
Accountability
“Power-holders and decision-makers in government are accountable to the people by virtue of their being in the take of taxpayers’ money. Whether elective or appointive, public officials and their respective offices in government are beholden to, and therefore should be, in the service of what is in the interests of the majority of the people.”
“The people have every right to exact accountability from their leaders. Indicators of Public accountability include just laws, fair Judicial system, politically accountable Congress, democratic representation and consultations, honest elections, respect for human rights and transparent public transactions.”
People Participation
“People participation is not simply having a voice in decision-making, either directly or through established institutions. It is a process of empowerment that includes involvement in a wide range of activities — from planning, criticizing, assessing and developing concepts and ideas — that culminate in decision-making and implementation of laws, policies and programs.”
“Democracy is power of the majority. But in the country, the majority of the people are poor, marginalized and powerless. They are traditionally treated as simply ‘recipients’ or ‘beneficiaries’ of government services. For democracy to work and be vibrant, the marginalized sectors must become key forces in society. The essence of ‘democratic governance’ is that the majority should be made to exercise authority and influence over policies and decisions through the various institutions and processes of government. All efforts therefore should be geared towards building the capacities of these sectors to exercise power, engage in the processes of governance, and promote their basic interests.”

JUN DEL ROSARIO DECLINED A 3-MILLION OFFER FOR THE VICE GOVERNOR SEAT
Biliranisland.com
June 12, 2010
In Jun Del Rosario’s current FB status he stated that before the May 10, 2010 elections, two politicians phoned him to join and consider paying 3M to an operator in exchange to a sure win for Vice-Governor.
He said that he outrightly declined their offer to cheat.
The recent elections showed that JDR earned only 7,078 votes. Montejo won the Vice-gov seat with a total number of 27,337 votes. Other opponents like Curso and Gonzales had 27,337 votes and 6,610 votes respectively.
Does this mean that there was really an anomaly during the 2010 elections, and that those who were questioned only won because of digital fraud?
I can’t help but wonder and ask how much more did they pay for a sure Congressional and Gobernatorial seats?
JDR FACEBOOK EXPOSE:
“TWO POLITICIANS PHONED ME TO JOIN AND CONSIDER PAYING 3M TO AN OPERATOR IN EXCHANGE TO A SURE WIN FOR VICE-GOVERNOR.
I DECLINED BECAUSE OF PRINCIPLES, NOT JUST THAT I DON’T HAVE THE 3M. MY OWN EXPERIENCE IS SUGGESTING THERE WAS AN ATTEMPT TO COMMIT DIGITAL FRAUD IN THE ELECTION. I HOPE THEY DID NOT SUCCEED.
INTERESTINGLY, BOTH POLITICIANS WHO TALKED TO ME WON THE ELECTION, NATIONAL AND LOCAL POSITION.”

Watchdog: Biliran polls tainted

TACLOBAN CITY, Philippines—A study done by the Center for People Empowerment in Governance (CenPEG) maintained that there was massive electoral fraud in Biliran during the first nationwide automated polls last May 10.
The survey, spearheaded by Nadja Castillo of the CenPEG, entitled “A Case Study: Biliran Province, Proving into a Possible Automated Cheating” under Project 3030 Research, cited possible electoral irregularities in the May 2010 national and local elections in the province.
The study said there were allegations that members of board of election inspectors (BEI) in one barangay in Caibiran town, Biliran, had falsified Comelec documents, particularly computerized voters’ list and voters’ registration records.
A case had been filed against the members of the BEIs for allowing “ghost” voters to vote.
The CenPEG study also noted the extension of voting hours in several barangays, including Barangay Iyusan in Almeria town, which paved the way for more irregularities, such as the presence of a barangay chair clad in a campaign shirt and giving orders who to vote for.
The study added that other irregularities included voting without a CF card from 7:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.; the failure to feed ballots into the PCOS machines; the entry into a voting precinct of a village watchman believed to be a supporter of the Espina clan; PCOS machines malfunctioning in Barangay Balaquid and Barangay Julita; erroneous date and time stamps on election returns (ERs) and the use of thermal paper without Comelec seal in printing ERs in three villages in Caibiran.
Citing the study, CenPEG said only the total number of votes for all municipalities was publicly shown during the proclamation and poll watchers were not able to make a comparison of votes during the canvassing due to the failure of BEIs to show the breakdown of votes from the precincts.
Lawyer Richard Alvin Japson, Biliran’s Comelec provincial election supervisor, had said the numbers were only for the municipality of Biliran, and not for Biliran province.
But based on statistics written on the board, reelectionist Rep. Glenn Chong got 39,659 votes compared to Rogelio Espina’s 40,010 votes in Biliran town, which only has 10,095 registered voters.
A brownout also took place while one Attorney Santos and representatives of an election watchdog, the PiNoy Lawyers, were questioning the vote statistics. Espina was declared winner in the congressional race when power was restored.
Former Makati City Rep. Teodoro Locsin Jr., then the chair of the House committee on suffrage and electoral reforms, said ERs from Biliran’s lone district showed huge discrepancies. Joey Gabieta, Inquirer Visayas
