“That I am willing to appear and testify before the Senate Committee on National Defense and Security chaired by Senator Biazon, investigating the truth of the Garci tapes and its implicaton to national security considering that I am one of those mentioned in the tapes and to show and present the authentic and official Namfrel copies of the ERs in the Lanao del Sur now still contained in the balikbayan boxes.” (ibid.; emphasis supplied) -- re the incident when his townmate Col. Pirino went to his Namfrel office for him to ignore election anomalies because he will be promoted to general, and the fact that he has replaced Gen. Gudani (who confirmed that he was relieved by Col. Pirino effective May 12) “MR DALIDIG. …the election anomalies (Dagdag Bawas) in the province because being a town mate from Balindong, Lanao del Sur, he was promised to be promoted to general… THE CHAIRMAN. Eto si Col. Pirino. xxx xxx xxx THE CHAIRMAN. Eto, s’ya mismo ang pumunta sa ‘yo? MR. DALIDIG. Yes, in my office sa Namfrel. THE CHAIRMAN. Paki-ulit nga kung ano ang sinabi – ano ang posisyon n’ya nung panahon na ‘yon? xxx xxx xxx MR. DALIDIG. Pagka-alis ho ni – ang sabi niya, pagka-alis nitong kaibigan ko si Gen. Gudani s’ya na ang pumalit kaya pumunta na s’ya dun sa office ko. THE CHAIRMAN. O, sige, Chairman. May I ask the question to Gen. Gudani? What was the position of Col. Pirino? xxx xxx xxx MR. GUDANI. …Col. Pirino’s designation as acting commander, joint Task Force Lanao in my absence. THE CHAIRMAN. You were previously the commander… MR. GUDANI. Yes, Mr. Chairman. THE CHAIRMAN. …of that task force? MR. GUDANI. Yes, Mr. Chairman. THE CHAIRMAN. And then on May 12, you were relieved? xxx xxx xxx MR. GUDANI. …when I was sent to Manila." (tsn, Senate Committee on National Defense and Security, November 17, 2005; emphasis supplied) On April 3, 2006, Hajji Dalidig testified before the Senate anew together with experts (and CCTA witnesses) Hermenigildo Estrella, Jr. and Roberto Verzola, re- 104
affirming portions of their testimonies pertaining to the massive cheating in Lanao del Sur for President Arroyo during the 2004 elections. D. Implementation of Electoral Fraud/ The Experts Supplementing the foregoing eyewitness accounts of electoral fraud are the sworn statements, testimonies, and power point slide presentations, of four expert witnesses – Segundo Tabayoyong, Herminigildo Estrella, Jr., Francisco Alcuaz and Roberto Verzola – all of whom testified before the CCTA, and two of whom (Estrella and Verzola) testified before the Senate, as experts on the basis of electoral results either from Congress, the dominant opposition and/or Namfrel. The reliability of their statements may be judged on the basis of the documents examined by them and their expertise, and in any event provide basis and leads for further serious investigation. The power point and slide presentations of witnesses Estrella, Alcuaz and Verzola conducted during the sessions provide clear and convincing exposition of the various facets of the fraud that transpired during the 2004 elections, leading to a conclusion that without electoral fraud, Pres. Gloria Arroyo could not have won the presidential race. Verzola, who did a comparative analysis of the NAMFREL results and Congress’ canvass of the presidential elections, declared that there is no other explanation for the 1.1 million lead of Pres. Arroyo except electoral fraud: “..therefore kung ang sinasabi ng official result 1.1 million ang panalo ni GMA iyan po sa tingin ko ay resulta ng pandaraya. Nang around a million to 1. 2 million votes.” Verzola in fact stated that base on his study Mr. Poe could have won by 84,000 votes, although a different set of variables and assumptions may lead to a different conclusion. The argument, however, that Pres. Arroyo would still have won the elections even if shed did not chear is of no moment. Not only is this an immoral position and difficult to establish, but the Presidium finds it unacceptable to have for a President a candidate who committed massive electoral fraud. Tabayoyong’s study on the other hand, provides a clear picture how electoral fraud was committed. Tabayoyong was qualified as an expert witness when he testified before the CCTA, as follows: “JUSTICE CAPULONG: Galing po kayo sa NBI, ano po ang posisyon ang inabot ninyo roon? MR. TABAYOYONG: Nag-umpisa po ako nang 1961 bilang isang understudy or job trainee on scientific examination of documents. I completed four years, instead of two years that were required. I participated in a qualifying course conducted by the national academy of the NBI for the purposes of selecting candidates for permanent position of a document examiner. Modesty aside, I 105
