Election Returns at saka COC. We really tried our best, nakuha<br />

namin yung tinatawag nating Form 1. So, may media pumupunta<br />

sa opisina ko and they asked me … what really happened in<br />

Lanao. And I showed them the truth of the election na talagang<br />

nangyari doon ang pinakamaruming election sa Lanao del Sur<br />

nitong 2004.<br />

ATTY. COLMENARES: Paglilinaw lang, Mr. Witness, nag-submit ka ng<br />

report sa national leadership ng NAMFREL, kay Joe<br />

Concepcion, pinakita mo itong mga Election Returns kung<br />

saan may mga boto ang mga kalaban ni Pang. Arroyo, pinakita<br />

mo rin ang Certificate of Canvasss na biglang naging zero ang<br />

mga kalaban ng Pang. Arroyo, sinasabi mo, bago palang, walang<br />

ginawa ang Panguluhan ng NAMFREL sa ilalim ni Jose<br />

Concepcion?<br />

MR. DALIDIG: Yes. As I said, I have reported many times to Joe<br />

Concepcion. …. But when I arrived here in Manila, I found out<br />

that they have been talking already in the television that<br />

election in Lanao is clean and honest. So, kaya, I said I should<br />

make the people know the truth on these said election.<br />

Kaya gumawa ako ng presscon, I guess some of our press<br />

brothers here have been there at sinabi ko yung katotohanan sa<br />

nangyari sa election.<br />

ATTY. COLMENARES: May ipapakita akong isang dokumento, Mr.<br />

Witness, ito’y isang affidavit pinirmahan ng isang<br />

nagngangalang Hadji Abdullah “Lacs” Dalidig. Kilala mo ba<br />

ang dokumentong ito, Mr. Witness?<br />

MR. DALIDIG: Yes, Yes. My signature appears here. Ito ang binigay<br />

kong affidavit para isubmit ito yung nangyayari noong<br />

elections … In the municipality of Saguiaran, Arroyo got<br />

1,950. In the election return. While in the COC, she got<br />

7,499, nadagdagan ang boto niya ng 5,549. Kung titingnan<br />

natin yung mga boto na nakuha ng mga kandidato, lahat sila<br />

nabawasan. Tulad nitong kay Fernando Poe, 3,400 ang<br />

nakuha niya doon sa Election Return. Nang lumabas dito sa<br />

COC, ang nalagay lang dito 1,602. Then ang boto niya nakuha<br />

sana 1,850 …<br />

In Marantao, Arroyo garnered Election Return 2,535.<br />

But in the COC 7,982. Nadagdagan uli ng more than 5,000,<br />

5,447. Ang kay FPJ, sa Election Return, 4,045. While<br />

pagdating doon sa COC, 1,071. Ang ibig sabihin nabawasan ng<br />

2,974. Likewise with the other candidates. Dito naman sa<br />

municipality of Taraka, Arroyo got 1,393 on the Election<br />

Return. While on the COC, she got 5,345. Ang ibig sabihin,<br />

nadagdagan uli ng 3,952. While FPJ got 2,862 in the Election<br />

Return, pagdating sa COC 500 lang ang ibinigay. Kaya<br />
