Third district Rep. Adam Jala and Provincial Election Supervisor Veronico Petalcorin denied allegations of “dagdag-bawas” carried out against former governor Rene Relampagos who ran for congressman in the 3rd district during the May elections.

Rep. Jala, in an interview with the Chronicle yesterday said there is no evidence that his camp coerced the Comelec to cheat in the May elections.

The newcomer solon asked why Relampagos only raised these issues now and did not file an official protest at the House of Representatives Electoral Tribunal (HRET).

Answering allegations that his camp was responsible for “dagdag-bawas” operations in the towns of Sierra Bullones and Loay, Rep. Jala pointed out that he would only recognize the official results of the polls that declared him winner and the fact that no official protest was filed by Relampagos, is proof that the latter do not have strong evidence to prove his allegations.

What I find so ironic and so hysterically funny is the fact that these people go into politics knowing full well it's a dirty game and then complain about something like dagdag bawas. It almost seems like they expect something decent to come out from politics. Does that mean our poor, misguided politicians think they can bend the rules when it suits them, and cry wolf (and expect justice) when it doesn't?

They're sooo smart they're dumb.

wala man puy politiko nga moingon
nga sija ang nanikas sa eleksyon.
wa pa ni sila mabuang aron moingon, "mga igsuon, mga higala, nagdagdag-bawas ko sa election. connivance namo ang comelec."

duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. old song.
