1992: MIRIAM WON IN THE VOTING, BUT LOST IN THE COUNTING
"When I ran for president in 1992 - remember I won in the voting, but lost in the counting - like all the other candidates, I had to go to all the major cities throughout the country, to deliver campaign speeches. Many of my opponents rented their crowds, meaning that the candidate provided the buses and jeepneys, gave the food, and even paid every person who went to the rally.
I had no money, so I merely relied on the energy and courage of young people. They begged for rejected wood from lumber yards and built the campaign stage, which sometimes crashed to the ground because it was overcrowded. I was cheated, only because my youth volunteers could watch the counting only by staying sleepless for three straight nights. When my volunteers went home to sleep, the power brownouts began all over the country. That rendered us helpless."
- Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago
