Philippine Elections 2010



 
MANILA - Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay, the early leader in the vice presidential vote canvassing, asked the camp of rival Sen. Manuel “Mar” Roxas II to be more transparent and stick to official documents when making projections about votes, to avoid confusing the public. “Rather than basing on speculations, let us base our statements on factual information, on official documents, so that there will be no confusion among the people,” Binay said at a press conference. He wa...



 
MANILA - Liberal Party candidate Sen. Manuel "Mar" Roxas II on Thursday said he is confident of winning the vice-presidential race by "more of less 100,000 votes" despite trailing the official count by some 800,000 votes to frontrunner Jejomar "Jojo" Binay. Facing the media for the first time since Monday's election, Roxas said he declined to grant interviews until he had gathered more data about the ongoing vote-count by the Commission on Elections. He said that based on his party's computati...



 
MANILA — Vice-presidential aspirant Manuel "Mar" Roxas is not throwing in the towel yet. He said on Tuesday he was "keeping the faith" and was still confident that votes from the Visayas would pull him over Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay, who was leading in the vote count. Roxas said that he was waiting for the results from his bailiwicks in the Visayas, particularly from Western and Central Visayas, to see if he could still overcome Binay's early lead, which has ranged from 700,000 to 800,0...

GEN. SANTOS CITY, Philippines — A cell phone on his left hand, a hand-held radio on his right and two more cell phones on the table, Manny Pacquiao was a one-man communication center at his mansion late Monday afternoon. But he wasn’t complaining. He was even smiling. Reason: His poll watchers spread out all over Sarangani province have been relaying good news. Their exit polls have shown the seven-division champion is going to win by landslide. And as of 8:07 p.m. on Monday, the u...



 
MANILA — Early results of the country’s first automated balloting gave Liberal Party presidential candidate Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III an early lead of more than 3.3 million votes over his nearest rival, former President Joseph Estrada. Aquino got 8,958,396 votes based on 57 percent of the election returns electronically counted by the Commission on Elections as of 11:11 Monday night, Comelec Chair Jose Melo announced at a press briefing.

MANILA - Incumbent Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim has beaten another Atienza. Lim was proclaimed winner a few minutes after midnight after beating former mayor and environment secretary Lito Atienza and former police general Avelino Razon Jr. in a seven-way mayoralty race. Lim, a former senator and former two-term mayor, was proclaimed after the local election office found that it "highly improbable" for his rivals to catch up with him. After tallying 90% of election returns, Lim was enjoying a 200,...



 
MANILA - Incumbent and re-electionist senators were dominating the senatorial elections with only two or three new faces likely to make it in the top 12 winning senators, based on the Commission on Elections' (Comelec's) partial tally released on Monday evening. Similar to the pre-election senatorial survey results of Pulse Asia and Social Weather Stations, the Comelec's partial tally had incumbents Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. of Lakas-Kampi and Jinggoy Estrada as the top 2 senators in the 2010 se...



 
MANILA — Was it a simple oversight or did he deliberately junk his very own running mate? Former president Joseph Estrada cast his ballot on Monday in the country’s first nationwide automated elections but apparently did not vote for Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay, his vice presidential candidate. Estrada failed to pick anyone for the position as shown in a photo taken by the Philippine Daily Inquirer’s Nino Jesus Orbeta while the ousted leader was feeding his ballot into the pre...
