Kalinga Governor Election
« on: May 17, 2019, 07:26:04 PM »
TABUK CITY, Kalinga -- An election protest is reportedly in the offing in Kalinga province after a neck and neck match between two gubernatorial bets that boiled down to a 10-vote difference in favor of Tabuk Mayor Ferdinand Tubban, who has since been proclaimed governor-elect.

His primary opponent, Kalinga Vice Governor James Edduba, was said to be leading earlier on but was narrowly overtaken by Tubban. The transmittal of election results from certain towns were also delayed, according to reports.

In an interview with the Philippine News Agency (PNA) on Thursday evening, Edduba confirmed that his camp is preparing to file an election protest that would demand a recount in some areas.

“I was telling them (supporters and volunteers) to just let go as I am already very tired but the volunteers are insisting because they also want to know what happened,” he said.
Edduba noted that the volunteers demand an explanation about 25 missing ballots and the delayed transmittal of results from Sucbot in Pinukpuk, which supposedly changed the outcome of the elections.

“The lawyers are the ones in charge. They are doing what needs to be done,” he said.

Kalinga provincial election officer, lawyer Ricardo Lampac, in a separate interview told PNA that the delay of the result and the transmission from Sucbot was due to problems related to the vote counting machine (VCM), prompting the change to a substitute machine.

He said they initially thought that it was merely a problem with the memory card but it turned out to be a defect in the VCM itself. (PNA)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
