Kamusta na si GMA dito? Then he replied by saying, “Sir,
ginagawan na namin ng paraan dito”. Upon hearing that, I
called up my classmate through my cellphone that there was
an ongoing rampant cheating being made by the group of GMA.

me `we cannot do anything at this time, mag-ingat ka dyan.’

13. Early morning, we left Cotobato City and went back to
Mindanao State University in Lanao and I took our lunch and meet
other groups I could not recall their names but I can recognize
their faces. While having our lunch, I heard that a certain
General in a camp located in the upper portion of Mindanao
State University relieved from his position for not cooperating
with the Comelec Officials favoring GMA. They even laughed
about the misfortune of said General. I was frightened upon
hearing the incident, and I told myself “what can I do now with

security for the group;

balota sa area ng Lanao del Norte at Lanao del Sur para
makakuha ng dagdag if GMA will lose in other areas in the
country”;

that. justice would prevail.
22. That I was a witness to the business transactions of

Com. Virgilio Garcillano personally reports to GMA in
Malacanang;
23. I still vividly remember when we were in Daet, Camarines
Sur, a certain Comelec Director Hassan based in Daet thought
that I was very close to Com. Virgilio Garcillano and he told me
that GMA should give at least Fifty Thousand Pesos
(Php50,000.00) for each Comelec Registrar to ensure the
