Robredo in talks with experts to study poll results

May 11 ------ Vice President Leni Robredo said she is currently discussing with “experts” about the allegations posted on social media on the conduct of the May 9 national polls.

Social media posts alleged irregularities in the voting and vote-transmission process, with hundreds of vote-counting machines (VCMs) malfunctioning. Some posts also questioned the “perfect” percentages of the gaps between Robredo’s and former Senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s votes despite them coming from different regions. While her supporters are still “processing” what happened, the Vice President said she is aware that there are still questions left unanswered.

“Sinisimulan na namin ang pagkausap sa mga eksperto upang maaral nang husto ang mga ulat at alegasyon na nababasa natin sa social media. Agad naming ibabahagi ang anumang resulta ng pag-aaral,” she added. She thanked her volunteers and supporters for being hardworking and creative because it shows what kind of society they can bring to the table.

“Dalangin ko ang kapanatagan ng loob at linaw ng kinabukasan para sa ating lahat,” Robredo said. The Vice President will attend a “Misa ng Pagkakaisa at Pasasalamat” at the Naga Metropolitan Cathedral at 5:30 p.m. later. On May 13, there will also be a gathering of supporters and volunteers in Manila.

Robredo said she will attend it to thank her volunteers but asked her supporters to wait for further details. The latest partial and unofficial quick count from the transparency servers showed Marcos with more than 30 million votes and Robredo with 14.7 million votes.
