In a bid to improve the rank of their favored bets in the local elections, a widely circulated "instruction slip" asked people to used several email addressed in order to vote repeatedly.
This scheme was known when a copy of the slip reached the studios of station dyRD last Friday narrating the "technical guide", including the specific instructions saying "so as not to waste our votes if we are to send the text again, resend the text vote after a lapse of time. Also, multiple sim number are encouraged."
With this scheme done, a person can vote as many times as he can thereby creating an effect of having "flying voters" in the on-line survey.
The instruction slip specified that senders should cast their votes to Julius Herrera for governor and Tomas Abapo, jr. for vice governor.
The same slip spceified the instruction to use public computers at computer cafes or shops for multiple votes.
PRECAUTION DONE
The on-line survey at the website of dyRD instituted measures that votes cast from the same senders will be rejected in the computer system so as to maintain the credibility of the survey.
During the past two weeks, the trending showed the people's preference for governor, vice governor, congressmen, city mayor and city vice mayor.
However, because of this advisory to register more votes for their favored candidates, the results are expected to shift from the previous trend.
In the Jan 17 tally, Rep. Edgar Chatto maintained his lead over Vice Gov. Julius Herrera in the gubernatorial race. Out of the 230 respondents, Chatto garnered 103 votes (45%) followed by Cesar Montano with 72 votes (31%) and Herrera, third with 55 votes (24%)
After reports on the massive "instructional campaign" for Herrera and Abapo got implemented, the results as of 7:30pm last night showed a sudden shift giving Herrera the lead over Chatto.
Out of 654 respondents, Herrera ranked first with 365 votes (55%), Chatto, 198 votes (30%) and Montano, 100 votes (15%)
In the vice gubrnatorial race, Abapo ranked first with 328 votes (62%), Concepcion Lim, 114 votes (21%) and Elpidio jala, 90 votes (17%).
ADVISORY
In order to serve the purpose of the on-line survey, dyRD News & Public Affairs advised the public not to resort to "flying voting," meaning one sender should vote only once.
Casting more than one vote for each sender will only create an unrealistic survey result which will not serve the purpose of the candidates to monitor the real preference and trend of the voters.
UPDATES
In the 1st district congressional race, City Kagawad Oscar Glovasa pooled 285 votes (57%) against former Gov Rene Relampagos with 188 votes (37%) and Edgar Kapirig, 30 votes (6%) Gov. Erico aumentado continued to lead in the 2nd district congressional race with 348 votes (73%) followed by Trinidad Mayor Judith Cajes, 99 votes 21%), Andy manated and Danilo mendez with 16 votes each (3%)
