The impending proclamation of new politics icon Grace Padaca winning by a slim yet clear margin, is now at a standstill as there is a plot to deliberately delay and rig the results of Isabela polls in favor of the challenger, former governor Benjamin Dy. A deluge of legal maneuvers have been launched to buy time and frustrate Padaca's proclamation.
We have sources inside the COMELEC that indeed, a plot to install Dy as Isabela governor has been ordered by no less than Mrs. Gloria Arroyo herself. To ensure its implementation, Abalos had been paid P200 million. Abalos currently oversees Northern Luzon in this year's electoral exercise. GMA promised the Dys that the latter shall regain control of the Isabela Capitol by all means, in exchange for the latter's (dynasty's) loyalty.

Manila-- The impending proclamation of new politics icon Grace Padaca winning by a slim yet clear margin, is now at a standstill as there is a plot to deliberately delay and rig the results of Isabela polls in favor of the challenger, former governor Benjamin Dy. A deluge of legal maneuvers have been launched to buy time and frustrate Padaca's proclamation.
We have sources inside the COMELEC that indeed, a plot to install Dy as Isabela governor has been ordered by no less than Mrs. Gloria Arroyo herself. To ensure its implementation, Abalos had been paid P200 million. Abalos currently oversees Northern Luzon in this year's electoral exercise. GMA promised the Dys that the latter shall regain control of the Isabela Capitol by all means, in exchange for the latter's (dynasty's) loyalty.
The said plot is no surprise as under Abalos's 'able' tutelage, the COMELEC has since become the most corrupt institution next only to GMA. We have witnessed how COMELEC had billions of people's money reduced to nothing in the poll computerization scam due to irregularity in the bidding.
Bogus elections in the ARMM region have become normal as they have been tolerated, institutionalized and officialized. 'Hello Garci' scam has yet to be resolved.
Party lists, TROs and/or election returns (ERs) are for sale. Massive vote-buying, shaving, tampering remain unchecked, among other corrupt and fraudulent practices. COMELEC has become a huge business enterprise.
It is in this light that the National Democratic Front-Cagayan Valley calls on the people not to be complacent and to remain vigilant as ever; expose and frustrate this rotten plot of the Dys.
We also urge all sectors and pollwatch groups and missions to mobilize their forces and look into the situation in Isabela. They should expose Abalos partisanship and exert pressure until a just ruling could be had.
This statement should also serve as a stern warning on the Dy Dynasty who have outstanding blood debts and pending cases against the people and the revolution. The Dys have been charged in revolutionary courts for the murders of Jake Soriano and Mayor Delfinito Albano of Ilagan.
This P200 - million plot to install Dy is yet another clear manifestation of the rottenness of the reactionary electoral system which remains decadent, elitist, and highly undemocratic.
Certainly, such an electoral system could not possibly fully resolve the people's lingering basic problems - imperialist control, landlessness and bureaucrat capitalism. People's democratic revolution is.
