Aranas, et al vs The Municipal Election Registrar, et al
Civil Case No. 4378-13 for Opening of Ballots and Manual Counting of
Votes Cast for Eduardo Villanueva
Regional Trial Court Branch 34 (Gapan City, Nueva Ecija) ruled in a
decision dated 21 Mar 2014:
The petitioners have standing to sue on matters of transcendental
importance or paramount public interest as ascertaining by manual
count their votes cast in the 2013 elections
In CPs 19, 29 and 30 of General Tinio, Nueva Ecija, senatorial
candidate Villanueva actually garnered 900 votes as against the
official COMELEC PCOS count of only 781 votes
Villanueva could have garnered 119 more votes if the PCOS counted
correctly
COMELEC did not appeal the decision which is now final

Editor's Notes
As with any crime committed, the pursuit of justice entails a lot of hard work, perseverance and patience. The success or failure of any quest for justice depends much on how much evidence is obtained, processed and interpreted. Nowhere are these postulates true than in crimes involving technology and automation. By its very nature, technology and automation are beyond the ordinary reach and comprehension of most of our people. A charge of fraud in an automated election is definitely not easy to comprehend and prove. Since it was our first experience in automated elections, everybody, except the ones who run the system, had any idea what to look for, how to interpret them, how to connect one proof to another, and how to present them for better understanding of ordinary citizens.
In the case of Biliran, immediately after the unexpected defeat of Fmr. Rep. Glenn Chong, the people from all municipalities demanded, and were able to get certified true copies of 88% of all audit log reports generated by the PCOS, and 100% of all MBOC print logs generated by the Consolidation and Canvassing System. Over the last 30 months, our group of young volunteers from different fields poured over close to 25 boxes of documents (including approximately 35,000 pages of ballot images) in detail and came up with a comprehensive analysis of the automated elections in 2010.
We endeavor as much as possible to present to you a clear and easy-to-comprehend presentation, including our final conclusion that two modes of election fraud was committed in 2010, one for national coverage and another for local coverage. This conclusion is backed by certified true copies of documents obtained from the COMELEC itself and from the House of Representatives Electoral Tribunal.
We will also endeavor to expose to the greater public ways and means to prevent the commission of this kind of fraud in this coming elections in 2013 and all future automated elections. One good thing is that our knowledge and understanding of the capabilities and severe shortcomings of the PCOS system has enabled us to devise ways and means to prevent it. Only by making known our observations and conclusions will the public come to know of the full extent of the vulnerabilities of the system. And by making it known, the public can help devise ways and means to prevent a hijacking of the elections based on the information we share.
We have no other agenda than to obtain justice for our people in Biliran and expose proof of fraud to prevent our country and people from perpetual enslavement by the vested interests that controls the PCOS.
Be aware though that as we continue to move on from one election to another using the same PCOS system, these vested interests will become more adept at hiding any traces of fraud which will make our task of discovering and proving them all the more difficult if not impossible.
We hope that by presenting these documents, empirical evidences and conclusions, we are able to enlighten our people and warn them of the greater evil that looms just around the corner while almost all of us, millions of Filipinos, have no idea about either because we are plainly ignorant, or because the collusion of certain entities, especially but not limited to the COMELEC, have successfully suppressed most objections and evidences.
We will never stop exposing and devising ways to prevent this great evil until our country final acts to get rid of this menace.
FIRST CASE OF PCOS ELECTION IRREGULARITY:
The Audit Log Report of Clustered Precinct 7805002 (Brgy. Bacolod, Culaba, Biliran) clearly showed that no successful transmission was ever made to all three (3) servers after several attempts, including the MBOC/CCS of Culaba. The last entry of the ALR was recorded at 8.39PM of May 10, 2010 before it was shutdown. However, in the MBOC/CCS of Culaba, a successful electronic transmission of results was received and recorded at 11.23PM of May 10, 2010 from IP address 10.12.3.143. Plainly, the MBOC/CCS of Culaba received an electronic transmission of results 2 hours 44 minutes and 22 seconds after the PCOS was already shutdown.
The modem of each PCOS is dependent on the power supply of the PCOS itself. So much so that if the PCOS had already been shutdown, no power supply is available to the modem to be able to transmit. Where then did this transmission come from?
SECOND CASE OF PCOS ELECTION IRREGULARITY:
The MBOC/CCS Print Log indisputably shows a receipt of an electronic transmission of results purportedly from Clustered Precinct 7805006 (Brgy. Bool West, Culaba, Biliran) at 1:55:36AM of May 11, 2010 from IP 10.15.2.121. However, the same MBOC/CCS Print Log subsequently received and recorded another electronic transmission of results purportedly for the same Clustered Precinct 7805006 at 3:41:51AM of May 11, 2010 but from a different IP 10.15.3.43. The last recorded entry or event in the Audit Log Report of CP7805006 was 3:08:38AM of May 11, 2010. Therefore, the second transmission of results received and recorded by the MBOC/CCS server came 1 hour 46 minutes 15 seconds after the sending PCOS (CP7805006) had already been shutdown.
In going over the next slides showing all 7 precincts exhibiting the same characteristics of double transmission of results, the following guides might be helpful for a full understanding of this phenomena:
Does the evidence or documentation clearly establish the fact of double transmission for a single precinct?
Was the IP address used to originally transmit the results the same or different from the subsequent transmission?
Was the PCOS supposedly sending a second transmission still open and functioning at the time of the recorded receipt of the second transmission?
How many hours did it elapse between the first and second transmissions?
Did the MBOC/CCS Print Log show how it handled the second transmission? Did it disregard the second transmission or did it override the first transmission?
THIRD CASE OF PCOS ELECTION IRREGULARITY:
The MBOC/CCS Print Log of the Municipality of Almeria shows that 2 clustered precincts, CP7801002 and CP7801001 both of Brgy. Poblacion transmitted one after the other at 1:06:50AM and 1:23:53AM of May 11, 2010, respectively. However, even a cursory examination of the Print Log will show that both separate clustered precincts transmitted from one and the same IP 10.15.0.157.
An examination of all 8 MBOC Print Logs in Biliran will show that all PCOS which electronically transmitted results transmitted from separate and distinct IP addresses (including even the double transmissions), except for these 2 precincts where they share one and same IP address.
Earlier, we have established that the system used in assigning IP addresses to the different PCOS was static and not dynamic. A static IP assignment system would have assigned different or individual IP addresses to these 2 separate precincts. The fact that they share the same IP address puts much doubt on the election results from these subject precincts.
The official explanation of COMELEC and SMARTMATIC in this case is the same as in Case I (Brgy. Bacolod). According to them, the protocol to follow in case of failure to transmit is to remove the CF card and transmit from another available PCOS. Under this protocol, one condition precedent must be established before the protocol becomes operable, ie. failure to transmit. In other words, there must first be a failure to transmit before transmission can be attempted in another PCOS. In the succeeding slides, we will rebut this explanation of COMELEC and SMARTMATIC.
Before moving on, we draw your attention to the eerie similarity of the turnout percentages of both precincts. Mathematically, the turnout percentages of both precincts are exactly the same, although numerically there is a difference of 0.01%. One more actual voter in Precinct 2 would have added 0.11% to the total percentage of 81.85%. One more actual voter in Precinct 1 would have added 0.10% to the total percentage of 81.86%. So that for both precincts’ turnout percentages to be not mathematically the same, the difference should have been at the least 0.10%. In other words, in Precinct 2, one voter is equivalent to 0.11% while in Precinct 1, one voter is equivalent to 0.10%. The fact that the difference between the two precincts is only 0.01% then that is only a fraction of one voter in either precinct. Therefore, both numbers, while numerically different, are actually and mathematically the same.
FOURTH CASE OF PCOS ELECTION IRREGULARITY:
The illustration above shows five (5) randomly selected precincts across Biliran which electronically transmitted results on election day to their respective MBOC/CCS servers. By examining their respective PCOS Audit Log Report, we were able to pinpoint the time at which the first transmission was made by the PCOS to their respective MBOC/CCS servers. The time of first transmission is shown below each clustered precinct number.
By examining the respective MBOC Print Log, each transmission can be traced and identified. The recorded time at which the transmission was received by the respective MBOC/CCS server for each of the 5 precincts is shown right next to the MBOC/CCS Server picture clip. Opposite the recorded times are the variances in minutes.
By a simple comparison of the two (2) recorded times (PCOS and MBOC/CCS), the difference is quite glaring. It would appear then that the respective MBOC/CCS servers recorded their receipt of the transmissions ahead by a few minutes before the PCOS recorded its own transmission time. Stated differently, the MBOC/CCS server already recorded a receipt of transmission of results even before the PCOS did actually send one.
These discrepancies, aside from being widespread, entail at least a couple of dangerous effects on the election system, as follows:
The MBOC/CCS server which recorded an earlier transmission could reject any and all subsequent transmissions from purportedly the same precinct. The authentic results which came later in time may be rejected or disregarded if a spurious result is transmitted and recorded ahead of it.
With these transmission time discrepancies littering the audit or paper trail produced by both the PCOS and MBOC/CCS, any subsequent audit becomes muddled and very difficult to definitively trace any fraud committed.
The very simplistic explanation of COMELEC and SMARTMATIC in this case was that the date and time of the PCOS and MBOC/CCS servers were not synchronized. Ostensibly, it may explain the discrepancies observed in Biliran. However, the simplicity of the explanation requires us to believe that more than 98% of the PCOS would have their respective time set later and that 100% of the MBOC/CCS servers would have their respective time set earlier. In other words, if this were an innocent case of unsynchronized times and dates, then the tables next following this slide would have shown any number (some) of PCOS ahead in time and any number (some) of MBOC/CCS servers late in time. The tables clearly show that this is not the case. What the tables of compiled information show is the uniformity of the PCOS being set late and uniformity of the MBOC/CCS servers being set in advance.
In its entirety, the tables indisputably show the following:
There is synchronization of the respective time in more than 98% of the PCOS to be LATE.
There is synchronization of the respective time in 100% of the MBOC/CCS servers to be ADVANCE.
There is NO synchronization between the two groups (PCOS and MBOC/CCS server).
When more than 98% and 100% of 2 groups of available data show uniformity within that same group, it is definitely a pattern. This leads us to conclude that this widespread discrepancies pertaining to vital transmission information is far from being innocent but that the same was designed to confuse any subsequent audit of the system. This is just one more circumstance of the system being primed for cheating.
We believe that this widespread discrepancies in the times of transmission and receipt, between the PCOS and MBOC/CCS servers, respectively, is intended to hide any fraudulent machination arising from double or multiple transmissions (one of two modes of fraud). We see no other logical explanation.
FIFTH CASE OF PCOS ELECTION IRREGULARITY:
In our study of 147 audit log reports, we found out that the PCOS actually had two (2) separate counting mechanisms. One counter counts and segregates the votes for candidates while the other counter counts the valid ballots as they are scanned by the PCOS. This second counter is denominated in the audit log reports of each PCOS as protective counter.
The illustration above shows five (5) ballots which when scanned by the PCOS will update the protective counter by increments of one (1) for each valid ballot scanned. However, when a ballot is rejected the protective counter does not count it.
The protective counter information can be found on the 8th entry of the PCOS audit log report every time the PCOS is turned on or rebooted.
SIXTH CASE OF PCOS ELECTION IRREGULARITY:
Under the Terms of Reference between COMELEC and SMARTMATIC, a proviso requires for an immutable paper audit trail. Theoretically, when any automated system is backed by an irrefutable or indisputable paper audit trail or audit mechanisms, it lends confidence to the users and credibility to outside observers of the automated process. With much more relevance will this theory apply in cases of sovereign elections. Elections, by its nature, are offensive types of confrontation, at least in this country. It presupposes that after elections, a lot of election controversies will necessarily arise and refuse to die down. The arena simply changes from the polling centers to the election tribunals. Especially in this case where the elections in this country was automated for the first time. Therefore, providing for an immutable or incontrovertible means to conduct an audit ultimately to settle election controversies once and for all in a quick and credible manner, it is indeed laudable for COMELEC to have provided such a requirement. At least in theory, it appears to be one of best intentions.
However, in reality, as the ‘immutable’ paper audit trail is put to actual test in the field on election day, it increasingly appears that what at first ostensibly appear to be one of best intentions, actually meant the best intentions to hide what must necessarily be hidden from the victims and the public at large.
In this particular case, we will endeavor to show that the 3 principal documents produced by each and every PCOS operating on election day did not actually fully match with each other as to provide an immutable paper audit trail. At best, what it provides is a means to muddle any investigation into any fraud that may be committed on election day. No reasonable, credible and incontrovertible audit findings can ever be made with what the SMARTMATIC system provided.
We believe that this problem of mismatched paper audit trail is intended to hide any fraudulent machination arising from the preloading of CF cards (one of two modes of fraud). We see no other logical explanation.
The table above shows significant information culled from both the Minutes of Voting (MOV) and the Audit Log Reports (ALR) to put the 17 subject precincts in the right perspective.
Column 3 lists the number of voters per precinct who allegedly voted after 7PM of election day. These figures are individually numerically indicated in the precincts’ respective minutes of voting. Column 5, on the other hand, lists the number of votes actually cast after 7PM of election day as shown in their individual audit log reports. Column 6 shows the extent of the illegal extensions as shown in their respective audit log reports and corroborated by the time entries in the corresponding minutes of voting. In short, with respect to Column 6, both audit log reports and minutes of voting substantially matched.
The total of those who allegedly voted after 7PM of election day and at least numerically accounted for in the various minutes of voting is 2,415. While the total actual ballot or vote cast after 7PM of election day is 4,281. The unaccounted difference is 1,866 more voters or votes or ballots however denominated . It is most coincidental, to say the least, that Fmr. Rep. Glenn Chong lost 1,559 votes in all these 17 illegally extended precincts. It is likewise most coincidental that all 17 illegally extended precincts benefitted Espina immensely.
Equally significant is Column 4 concerning the list of names of those who allegedly voted past 7PM of election day. For any extension of voting to be legal or valid under the express provision of COMELEC Resolutions 8896 and 8786 (Sec 21), the following substantive requirements must be met:
The poll clerk must list down the names of voters still within 30 meters of the precinct at 7:00PM;
Call the voter twice in order to vote, so that if the voter is does not answer the call, he/she forfeits the right to vote; and,
The list so prepared must be turned over to the Election Officer, thus forming part of the records of the proceedings.
The above conditions are not flimsy, but substantive requirements, to prevent fraud. Compliance with these conditions lends legitimacy to any extension of voting time. While failure to enforce these conditions gives the BEI unbridled authority to extend the elections for as long as they wish thereby opening the floodgates to electoral fraud.
Notably, of the 17 questioned precincts, 16 did not have any such list at all as mandatorily required by COMELEC regulations. Only one (CP7806003, Balacson, Kawayan) had such list attached to the minutes of voting but all the voters did not actually physically cast their ballots into the PCOS. The BEIs did all the casting or scanning of the 510 ballots beginning at 4:13AM and ending at 8:14AM of May 11, 2010. For this grave reason, the credibility of the elections in this precinct becomes highly suspect, which necessarily infects the attached list.
The conspicuous absence of even a single credible list or name out of 4,281 alleged voters throws much weight on the argument of fraud. Precisely, because of the absence of the lists, 1,866 more voters were actually able to vote during such extended voting as accurately reflected in the audit log reports. Stated another way, originally, the BEIs indicated numerically in their respective minutes of voting that a total of 2,415 voters were outside their precincts waiting to vote as of 7PM on election day. During the course of the extensions, it eventually grew by 1,866 more voters (about 77% increase) bringing the final tally to 4,281 who allegedly voted until the next day as shown in the audit log reports. This is loud proof of the absence of any such required list.
If the lists really existed at the time of the elections, it could very well be available for production at any time and during the presentation and formal offer of evidence by Espina at the HRET. Not one credible list or name was ever produced or offered in evidence. If it did not exist at the time of the elections, neither could it subsequently be produced at anytime thereafter.
Alternatively, assuming for the sake of argument but without admitting that the lists did exist, the BEIs and Election Officers cannot present them in evidence without providing damning evidence against themselves in their conspiracy to commit election fraud through these extensions. If the lists were presented in evidence and showed all 4,281 names of alleged voters, how come they numerically indicated and declared in various minutes of voting only a total of 2,451 alleged voters? If the lists were presented in evidence and showed only 2,451 names of alleged voters, how come the audit log reports showed a total of 4, 281 votes cast during the extensions in all precincts? In either case, the unaccounted 1,866 more alleged voters during the extensions could not be reasonably justified. Since it would be a choice between the devil and the deep blue sea, they’d better be off not choosing any. That probably explains why no such list was ever offered in evidence.
Based on all the certified documents we have shown in this presentation, we came up with a general outline of how electoral fraud in 2010 was structured.
We believe that with respect to fraud involving national coverage, intervention through unauthorized network intrusion or multiple transmissions is the most logical and systematic way of implementing an automated version of dagdag-bawas. The positions involved in this fraudulent scheme is uniform all throughout the various political subdivisions in the country. Centralizing the operation of dagdag-bawas is much easier and significantly manageable to handle in this way because of the definite number of candidates and national political positions involved. At this point, however, we make clear again, we are not accusing any national official of committing, aiding or abetting the commission of this kind of electoral fraud.
On the other hand, with respect to fraud involving local coverage, intervention through the preloading of CF cards before the conduct of the elections is the most logical and systematic way of implementing an automated version of dagdag-bawas. The positions involved in this fraudulent scheme varies widely between and throughout the various political subdivisions in the country. It is not logical to centralize this operation in one location because of the thousands of candidates vying for thousands of local political positions across the country. The risk of errors occurring at any stage of the manipulation process and consequent discovery is much greater. The best alternative would be to preload the CF cards before the elections because the same are precinct-specific. In other words, this fraudulent scheme can be tailored-fit so suit the needs involving local positions. At this point also, we make clear as well, that we are not accusing any local official of committing, aiding or abetting the commission of this kind of electoral fraud, except in the case of Biliran where all the documents underlying these conclusions emanated from.
Ostensibly, one may argue that if automated fraud in local positions is committed by preloading the CF cards, there would be absolutely no necessity to engage in the more difficult operation of extending the voting time of a considerable number of precincts in order to otherwise duplicate the fraud. It would be a case of useless redundancy.
Analyzing deeper, it actually makes real sense that the pre-election recorded ballots or scans in the protective counter served as buffer for the cheater, but he is not guaranteed to win because such a buffer is determined and fixed before the actual voting. No one knows with deadly accuracy by how much votes the cheater would win or still lose given the buffer, unless he is more than fortunate enough to have been given an oracle. As insurance, a selected number of precincts (31), randomly chosen to prevent detection, will have to be purposely delayed through the actions of the BEIs controlled by the cheater. In this way, while the results of the elections from regular precincts are reported and tallied, the cheater would by then know if intervention, and by how much additional votes, are needed to insure his fraudulent victory. This is hybrid fraud in local elections.
The cheater could very well have jacked-up his buffer to comfortable levels without worrying about his insurance but then he must also anticipate the public’s reaction if the margin is too high. If the margin is too high to suit his comfort, the public’s rejection of the result might prove scandalously unbelievable and too discomforting for him. If the buffer levels are set too high, there is no way a seamless corrective measure can be made after the voting had started or the results are about to be printed, to bring the margin down to believable levels. The wide popularity of his opponent is definitely a serious consideration in setting the buffer levels.
Therefore, the preloading of CF cards as one of the modes of automated fraud does not necessarily and absolutely exclude the commission of manual intervention to commit fraud. They are not mutually exclusive of each other but are in fact, complementary to one another. Where the buffer levels through preloaded CF cards are set at a low level, manual intervention through voting time extensions provide the means to insure an ostensible victory. This manual scheme of electoral fraud, in the final analysis, merely confirms and strengthens the charge of fraud through preloaded CF cards.
About a month before the elections, the Espina patriarch publicly stated on radio he would be happy if his son (opponent of Chong) wins even by less than 500 votes. Knowing him as a relic of broadcast history, he was conditioning the mind of the public about the outcome of the elections. With Espina eventually gaining a presumptive margin of just 361 votes, one can definitely assume only two things: the Espina patriarch was much-favored with an oracle about the results of the elections; or, he made sure an imaginary oracle becomes a miracle, not by the intervention of saints, but of sinners with him on the lead.
Graphical presentation of the 60-30-10 phenomenon which is grossly abnormal since every precinct, town, city, province and region have their respective and distinct biases for or against particular candidates or group of candidates. To result in a uniform pattern or distribution of votes completely disregards these biases.
On the other hand, manipulating the results of the elections taking into account these biases will be arduous and complicated which the perpetrators may be better off doing away considering that evidence is definitely hard to uncover for those seeking the truth.
The 60-30-10 phenomenon was discovered by mathematics professor Lex Muga of the Ateneo de Manila University.
Numerical presentation (expressed in percentages of votes garnered per group of candidates) of the 60-30-10 phenomenon.
Numerical presentation (expressed in percentages of votes garnered per individual candidate) of the 60-30-10 phenomenon.
Without fail, each senatorial candidate obtains a specific vote share (percentage) from the first reported canvass down to the last reported canvass. Significantly, the individual vote share (percentage) does not vary in significant extent and is maintained almost uniformly from start to finish regardless of the number of votes reported for each canvass.
There are only 2 possible logical explanation for this phenomenon: 1. the votes where cast by robots voting uniformly 2. the voting results were manipulated.
At the very least, it is impossible to have 100% turnout in any election. The cut-off date of the EDCVL (Election Day Computerized Voters’ List – the list posted at the polling precinct on election day) was February 2013. But even beyond this cut-off date, a number of voters already dead or absent are still active in the list. And between February to May (3 months) any number of people in any precinct would have additionally either died or transferred yet their names are still on the EDCVL.
To achieve a 100% turnout on election day would have meant that all the hundreds of voters in each of the 70 precincts indicated above would have returned (both the absent and the dead) and voted.
There were 304 Certificates of Canvass (COCs) in the 2013 elections (1 COC or consolidated report per province, city and overseas absentee voting post). When 129 COCs representing just 42% of the total were canvassed as of May 18, the partial votes reported for the leading senatorial candidates were by the millions (Poe had 20,147,423), yet when the remaining 175 COCs representing the majority at 58% of the total were canvassed subsequent to May 18, the additional votes reported for the same leading senatorial candidates were not more than 200,000 votes each (Poe got an additional of 189,904 votes only).
Stated plainly, how can less than half (42%) of the total COCs produce millions of votes for each candidate while the more than half (58%) of the total COCs produce less than 200,000 votes for each candidate?
Only 3 clustered precincts where identified by the petitioners and each of the subject precincts showed the PCOS shaving off the votes for Villanueva.
The average number of votes shaved off from Villanueva is 39.67 votes per precinct. If 80% of the almost 78,000 clustered precincts functioning on election day were manipulated, the correlated total votes manipulated against Villanueva could reach 2,475,408 votes. This figure is more than enough to affect the overall election results.
In the end, how much faith can you put in this automated election system heralded as clean and credible by its promoters while adamantly refusing to answer squarely, with proof, the issues hounding the system? Would you be willing to make a leap of faith into the unknown with this system and all its vulnerabilities?
With that, we conclude the message we wish to share with you along with the people of this republic. If you believe that the message and the messenger is credible enough, then we, as a people, need to start thinking and doing something about how to insure that our right to give consent to the ruler remains our real right, undiluted by tampering or fraud. For to do otherwise and letting apathy reign in our midst, we all face unimaginable consequences now and far into the future.
We have seen that up close in Biliran when the school bus system and the regular medical/dental missions grounded to a halt immediately after the 2010 elections. One need not venture out farther than our case in Biliran. It is a portent of things to come.
Plato and his political philosophies, after all, is not just one relic in the archives of history. He and his political philosophies continue to reverberate all this time. And considering thousands of years of political greed, it must be at its peak this time anywhere in the world.
Fighting a colossal monster as political greed (wealth and power) is enough to discourage anyone right from the start. But we have a choice of whether we let that monster live and enslave us all, or we go down fighting to free ourselves from it.
It is enough for good men to do nothing for evil to triumph.
It is enough for common men to postpone acting on this message for some other time to place himself and his future at the gravest peril.
