The election was “not free and fair”. Séverine De Laveleye, a Belgian parliamentarian, said this as she presented the interim report of the International Observer Mission on the May 9 elections. READ:

The report, which was released on Thursday , were based on six IOM Bulletins issued since March, compiled from documentations made by international observers, reports from overseas Filipinos, background from IOM’s local partner—Kontra Daya—and the team of writers which monitored the mainstream media and credible online output which could be verified.

The IOM said that in Calabarzon, a local alternative media described vote-buying as a “last-minute activity” on the evening of May 8, saying that 80 to 90 percent of people took part in it—the amount distributed has increased from P200 some years ago to P2,000 to P4,000 in the last election.

Last March 25, red-tagging posters from the “Patriotic Filipinos of Baguio City” against Kabataan and Gabriela partylist groups were seen at Barangay St. Joseph Village despite the existence of a directive from Baguio City mayor Benjamin Magalong which prohibited red-tagging posters.

Likewise, in one of the cities visited, the borders were heavily guarded and closed because of fears of “fly-in” voters. Military units were at all polling centers. Observers even noticed members of the military scuba diving unit deployed to guard polling stations. Multiple tanks were seen throughout the city and at primary polling centers. Military helicopters were heard overhead.

Once assigned, local teachers receive specialized advance training to complete this task. Less than a week before the election, the Comelec told teachers in one of the visited cities in Mindanao that their roles would be shifted, sparking protests that replacement VCM operators would be insufficiently trained.The IOM said that in Calabarzon, teachers, despite the suspension of classes from May 2 to 13 because of the elections, were being forced to report to the offices.

In terms of manpower, unlike in the past where all teachers serve during the elections, this time it’s only the 5th and 6th grade teachers, depending on how the Comelec sets up the election.The IOM said that four barangay officials who were interviewed on their experiences of election violence said there were police coming en masse into the community harassing them, planting weapons in homes, and checkpoints set up outside communities.

Only an opinion and doesn't based on facts. Unless they have the list of solid proofs or evidence. That's better be called Maritess.

Hmmp

Here are evidence that the 2022 Philippine elections was rigged. Elections paraphernalia found in Amadeo Cavite.

and yet senators, congressman or other officials are not commenting on this matter. siguro if concern sila dito by now (like nung ginawa nila kay Leila de Lima) naka-senate investigation na to tapos naka-live sa public

LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW THAT THE ELECTION 2022 IN PHILIPPINES WAS MARK WITH RIGGED.

Almost 45M ballots were produced without the party observers. Reason: covid

ClarkAlvarez6 Bugok ba kayo!!!

Nahawakan ng mga magnanakaw at sinungaling

With COMELEC ruling that BBM did not commit crime of moral turpitude, by not paying his estate taxes and presenting false receipts, is already bias and unjust. Considering also BBM has in his possession/authority the billions of US$ ill-gotten wealth. birgovph DOF_PH

Better nip this shit in the bud while you still can. The imperialist never sleeps

Nung 2016 wala kayo mga Ulalo 🤣🤣 mas clear na dayaan yun at si ChairAndyBau alis bansa agad Let me educate you 2016 Election was ' CLEAR NOT FREE AND FAIR' ulalo 🤣🤣

jaceygurrl Ang IOM daw ay hindi officially na recognized ng Comelec, iyong ibang observers daw po ay wala naman complaint? May 1,000 complain daw ng vote buying at ineembistiga na ang 10% at hahabulin daw bago mag assume into office ang mga kandidato sa June 30.

Basta BBM SARA ang nanalo.

Belgian Waffles are now commenting on Philippine politics? Seriously?

Dwarrior_granny Indeed! Si teacher pinakyaw ang ballot shading

TROLL CONFESSION

SMARTMATIC sold as a system of cheating -BBM Meaning nandaya sila nun eleksyon dahil SMARTMATIC din ang ginamit.

DocHappy95 sad but true! ☹️🌷

International Observer saw the cheating but local COMELEC Wala daw. Ano ba tinitingnan ni COMELEC?

31M wanted new cellphones.

Ano na COMELEC ? Still standing for fair elections pa rin? SCPh_PIO will you stand up for justice for the nation and people first given this?

🤑🤑🤑🤑☹

Nganong 1 day ra basta ting vote?

There were so many anomalies with evidences that the Comelec ignored. From shading multiple ballots, to disgarding ballots that voted for other candidates, vote buying, 'broken' VCMs, disinformation, etc.

walang paki 31M syo kung cnu ka man, asikasuhin mo bansa nyo

Bitter mode pa din?!? On whose POV are u reporting on?Hanap pa kayo ng kakampi sa labas? Malapit na proclamation mas masasaktan kayo pag d mag move on. Respect the mandate of the people.31M have spoken. Tandaan nyo youcannotmakealoserbecomethewinner!

Hindi sila taga Pilipinas anong pakialam nila? Ang Pilipinas ba nakikialam sa Election nila?

Pera parin ang labanan... Kya pera prin nanalo... Khit na garapal n garapal ang ngyari sa election... Well done prin sa comelec.. maayos daw at matagumpay ang botohan.. Edi wow!! 😄😄😄😄👏👏👏

DongMaglalang As vote-buying is rampant, then essentially, it is not fair.

COMELECCORRUPT

Harap Harapan vote buying. May mga pre shaded ballots na pilit tinatanggi etc ng comelec at walang magawa mga nagrereklamo kasi pabor sa kanila pag nanalo si ✌️

Blatant …….

Very true. Talamak ang dayaan.

Too much unstoppable vote-buying going on & toothless Comelec does nothing to stop it from happening.... ay yay yay

Oh sige. So what? People power kau ulit tapos gamit uli mga pare at madre tapos pagawan nio rin ng rebulto yung mga KKPnK tapos ilakad nio sa vatican para maging santo sila haha Hinahanap nio yung 14+ na boto ni leni diba nakuha niya naman nadagdagan panga eh pero talo parin haha

Di pa pala tumitigil kaputahan nyo, mga lecheng salot ng lipunan!

The link below once confirmed will corroborate what really transpired in the 2022 polls.

RIGGED ELECTION. Comelec faiiled us. That’s it. Period.

Dilawan yan Sasabihin ng mga trolls

The international community need to help put pressure on. This could happen to any one in any country. The election was obviously rigged. Results came in way too fast. And plenty of anomalies reported. Quiet means were just accepting fraud.

Napakatahimik sa paligid. Ayaw pagusapan ang election pag face to face. Iba ibang emotions ang mapapansin mo - feeling proud, may galit, disappointed, sad, in denial etc. Pero may isang emotion na mananaig sa karamihan-- fear of our future . . . unknown. So, Keep praying 🙏🏼

ni Leni lahat kayo ay under her control na hawak niya ang mga puso at isipan nyo na senyas lang ni Leni lahat kayo ay on ATTACK mode.Tama nga na mayroong mind control na nagaganap sa hanay ng mga Pinks.🤔 Isa na kayong ganap na Kulto ni Leni. AngKultoNiLeni

mga Artista! ano na nangyayari sa inyo? nawalan naba talaga kayo totally ng Ulirat para makita niyo na mali na ang mga ginagawa niyo? mababaw pa kayo ngayon sa ilog na natutuyuan na ng tubig.anong Spell ang Ginamit ni Leni sa inyo? na Daig niyo pa ang isang snap lang ng Fingers

merong ibang artista na naglilive at umiiyak pa na daig pa ang naka shabu. at meron naman artisa na wala namang pumapansin tapos magdedemand na i unfollow daw siya dahil bumoto kay BBM.tapos may nagparatang na magnanakaw, tapos may nahanap na katapat sa internet at nagdedemanda.

ay mga nasisiraan na ng Bait.hindi ko alam kung anong Mahika ang ginawa sa inyo ni Leni Robredo para magkaganyan kayo na parang nababaliw na kayo sa kanya.Halos sambahin niyo na siya na parang Mahal na Birhen.marami na sa inyo layo na sa mga nasa Showbiz ang nasisiraan na ng bait

naba na kahit na sino pang puti ang himuran niyo ng tumbong kapit pa sinong pinaka makapangyarihang tao sa mundo ang maging kakampi niyo. ay wala siyang karapatan na makielam sa Pulitika sa Pilinas.iyang mga utak niyo hindi na talaga gumagana ng maayos.malamang marami na sa Pink

ganyan naba talaga kayo kababaw na mga Dilawang Pink? wala naba kayong Pride na natitira sa mga buo niyong pagkatao? Shet! nakakahiya na kayo.halos wala na kayong dangal na kapit patalim na kayo na handa niyo ng kainin ang tae ng mga Puti para lang kampihan kayo.nakalimutan niyo

sa kahit saang sulok ng mundo ang mga Pink ay naghahanap ng mga kakampi.daig pa nila ang nanglilimos ng awa sa ibang lahi. napaka Pathetic niyo na! Bumaba na kayo ng bumaba sa level na handa na kayong humimod ng Pwet ng mga Puti para tulungan kayo kay Leni na isang Talunan!

thysz Thank you, International Community, for this accurate observation. Louder please.Our election was rigged, dirty & dishonest.The Filipino people are helpless in the face of massive vote-buying, disinformatn campaign, manipulations & irregularities.Our Comelec cant be trusted.

Just accept the fact that majority of voters favors marcos & sara tandem.. Even in surveys prior election, they won. Their strategy are better than their competittors, and most people are convinced n hopeful there leadership will uplift philippines. Thats it!

Not free indeed. Someone paid somebody?

Hu u ? Ur a foreigner do not interfere with our political freedom!! Stop fakenews! Our election is clean and fast!

Absolute right

COMELEC bulag

Whoever made the report to this socalled Belgian Parliamentarian.... IS THE NO. 1 FAKE REPORTER HERE IN THE PH. SHAME ON YOU! GO TO BELDIUM AND LIVE WITH MARIA SISON. YOU HAVE NO PLACE HERE IN THE PH!

COMELEC has been bought. We all knew that when they delayed the results of his DQ case only to favor BabyM in the end. All his DQ cases were delayed on purpose. So yeah, it was not free and fair. Just like our justice system.

Oh eto. Di daw dinaya lol

TheAquilaOculus IT WAS FREE AS NAME YOUR PRICE AND FREE AS VOTE FOR SALE!

Kita nyo naman yung survey dipa kayo naniniwala you can't argue with number ika nga.

Most of what is mentioned are unbelieveable as there are no pictures taken/shown for evidence. Regarding Vote buying, the VP did say it is ok to take money but just vote wisely. Basically promoted vote buying. If ever Pres.BBM should be DC, then DC them all.

joaqmel_leo As of May 14, 8,000 election irregularities were received by Kontra Daya according to head convenor Prof Arao. Tumitindi na rin ang red tagging.

The kakamfeng thinks that only Leni lost the election, fyi, halos lahat ng kasama nya na candidates sa local and national TALO😂😂😂😂😂

“Kebs” -COMELEC

louder!!!

So hindi na kayo maniniwala sa PPCRV na sinusuportahan nyo just because aomebody outside our territory said another thing?yoih gagi.,.

Leaders of superpowers extended their congratulatory remarks to BBM and even the Singaporean President invited him for s state visit. These are clear indications that the recent PH election was widely recognized around the globe as honest, clean & orderly!Forget about this idiot!

She gotta spread this one to the world 🙏

marbencordero It favored the corrupt, convicted and thieves!!

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 pambihira habang ito ang pinaka malinis at maayos na election na na obserbahan ko at ng iba pa 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 san kaya galing mga datos nila at saan ikinumpara? 🤣😂🤣😂

open secret na talagang nandaya ang mga magnanakaw

Move on na mga tanga

PPCRV and NAMFREL is saying otherwise. Ano kaya sasabihin nila?

True. Ang daming hokus pokus na nangyare sa mga precincts.

31M be like: We know & we understand & we are aware that it was neither free nor fair pero kailangan pa ba talagang ibalita ito? 🤷‍♂️🙄🤷‍♂️

COMELEC lang yata ang hindi naka-observe na merong dayaan

Ang mga 31m KUNO lang naman ang paniwalang paniwalang malinis ang eleksyon, maryosep 😅😅 ganon ata talaga kapag SOLID UTO UTO kahit alam nila sa sarili nila ang totoo, wala silang pake, basta nanalo sa LUTO ang manok nila? 🙄🙄

The PRC should be absorbed if not under COMELEC now. With the VCMs, Board exam takers would know the results before midnight.

Manigas kayo sa inggit..baliktarin man ang pilipinas we have a new president and VP duly elected by the majority filipinos verified by Phil authorities ..kaya kayong kontra ng kontra ..puede lumayas kayo kung di nyo matanggap ang pasya ng majority...panggulo lang kayo....

Hahahahahah, international observers pakialaman nila bansa nila. Putik takot na takot sila si BBM maging President baka lalantadl lhat ng baho ng mga dilawan.

Nakakahiya maging filipino pweee

And as always, this will just be shrugged off as “unfair” observations.

Millions of ballots were printed without watchers. Dun pa lang, alanganin na ang election 😒

divinegc We all believe that the May 9 elections were far from 'Free and Fair'.

bbm supporters and enablers will say this International Observers are biased. So,what else is new?

Madumi lagi ang eleksyon hanggang may Marcos, Arroyo at Duterte sa politika.

Hello, PPCRV_live PPCRV_National !

Laughingstock talaga tayo... no wonder mababa ang tingin sa tin mga Pinoy s abroad 😕

COMELEC FYI. 😂

Isn’t it sad that observers saw it while the Comelec etc didn’t? Ano selective blindness? Or…?

Disinformation is very rampant and majority of Filipino believe on this. 🇵🇭

They should talk to each other...

colonial mentality again. 😅 CHER pasok.
