this was how the south wing entrance of the House of Representatives looked like yesterday (Monday) when i went to work... No, i am not attempting to showcase the facelift that Congress made after the bombing incident last year. What struck me aboout the scene is the absence of the makeshift room which stored the ballot boxes from the widely (and wildly) contested 2004 elections. i think it was placed there after the inquiry made by the House on the election returns (remember the Committee hearings where Kiko Pangilinan got the nickname "Mr. Noted"?). [ek still needs to do research on this pa].i asked the security personnel who was detailed at the entry point what happened to the ballot boxes, he said that it was transferred to the 'property.'kung saan man yung 'property' na yun, hindi ko pa natutunton... Of course one has to wonder why they moved the ballot boxes. i think its pretty obvious that more times these ballots change hands or move locations, the more vulnerable they are to tampering. the timing of course is also questionable... they moved the ballot boxes days after the inter-faith rally at Makati where CSOs (civil society organizations) were already convinced that GMA's administration is going down. hmmm... but these are all just suspicions. we need to dig deeper into this.
