In LP count, Roxas surges ahead of Binay



Senator Manuel "Mar" Roxas II is leading over Makati City Mayor Jejomar Binay in the vice presidential race by over 137,000 votes, his political group, the Liberal Party (LP), claimed on Monday.
LP general campaign manager Florencio "Butch" Abad said Roxas's supposed 137,404-lead was based on the 88 certificates of canvass (COC) that the party has access to as the dominant minority party that was recognized by the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
"We hold the official certificates of canvass that was given to the Liberal Party as the dominant opposition party," said Abad at a press conference in Araneta Center, Quezon City.
Binay’s party, the Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino (PMP), meanwhile challenged the LP to make public the COCs.
JV Bautista, a senatorial candidate under PMP, said data from the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) and other groups doing the unofficial tally show that Binay is still leading the race in 14 of the country’s 17 regions.

“Apparently they (LP) are saying that they have in their possession provincial certificates of canvass. Now the question to ask them at this stage is were you able to get the COC by yourselves without any copy being given to the PPCRV and the KBP (Kapisanan ng Broadkaster ng Pilipinas). Please remember that the camp of Binay is relying purely on the records being reported by the PPCRV and the Comelec and nothing else," Bautista said at a press conference held at the Makati City Hall.
Abad said the LP was willing to show the COCs but could not provide copies to the media as of yet. "We are simply relying on the certificates of canvass that we are getting from our people in the field," he said.
Based on the partial unofficial tally of 90.25 percent of election returns, Binay is ahead of Roxas by over 700,000 votes. [See: Eleksyon 2010 partial, unofficial tally of ERs]
Lito Anzures, Binay’s spokesman, said that while Roxas may be leading in Region 6, Region 7, and in the Caraga region, the votes he got from these areas were not enough to overtake Binay’s lead.
According to Azures, Binay got 20 percent of the votes in Western Visayas while Roxas got 63 percent. He said Binay got 30 percent of the votes in Central Visayas while Roxas received 58.5 of the votes.
Analysis
Based on an analysis of counted clustered precincts, GMANews.TV projects that Roxas would cut Binay's lead by only 31,600 votes when all election returns have been canvassed.
The analysis was based on voting trends established in counted clustered precincts in the same localities as uncounted precincts. For Roxas to win, the clustered precincts that remain uncounted would have to yield voting results far different from those in the counted precincts.
It is only Congress, convening as the National Board of Canvassers, which is authorized to canvass the votes and proclaim the new president and vice president of the country. The Senate and House of Representatives will most likely convene as NBC on May 25 after the respective chambers approve the rules on May 24.

hay naku dili jud makadawat iya kapildihon si roxas

[ysa7881]

unsaon man na nga ang gipili sa mga tawo c binay man, mas gusto man nila si binay na mahimong vp

[ysa7881]

in my own opinion, wala man cguro nadaya ang past eleksyon. dili naman cguro ing-ana kung sikat si noy2 mao cya gibuto s mga tao pati pud c roxas kay ka running mate cla.

I think acceptance of defeat is not an issue here. The COMELEC said that there are still more or less 3 million votes that were not yet transmitted so I guess the LP are still not losing hope that their vice presidential bet will win but if they will not in the end I think they will still accept it.

i think dawat.on ni mar if paldi cya pero need to finish each ballot.

[elvishtattoo]

IMO, every single ballot is important. ipa ihap lang sa gud. unsa may gidalian ba?
kung mo daug man gani si Binay ug 1 vote lang kang Mar, I'm sure mo concede ra si Mr. Palengke PERO ihapon lang tanan.

[john_yo]

para nako, ok ra bisan asa nila ang mo daog kay puro man sila manga nindot og record.

ok rana oi, mag huwat lang ta sa results sa comelec gud, kusog baya si mar sa central visayas so naa possibility.

[jrconde]

kani pud c Binay, dili sad cya mu accept na sikit ang away nila ni Mar. Mar roxas just want to count all the votes. Binay want to put in our heads na dayaon cya.

[lestat1116]

sure jud ko dli mo concede c binay if mapildi cya.
