Boking's ally: Probe Sambo on 2007 ballot burning
BY: JOEL P. MAPILES
MABALACAT, Pamp. --- A spokesman of incumbent Mayor Marino “Boking” Morales yesterday said that if John Sambo – husband of Nacionalista Party mayoral bet Marjorie Morales Sambo – has personal knowledge about the burning of ballots here after the 2007 polls, then he should face a probe in the proper court.
This came in the heels of a statement made by Sambo during a press conference yesterday that he would be forced to tell the truth in court should the other side of the political fence pinpoint him as the man behind the burning of the ballots in 2007.
“Mapipilitan po ako na magsabi ng aking nalalaman kung ako po ay iniuugnay sa pagkakasunog ng ballots noong nakaraang halalan sa Mabalacat,” Sambo said.
When asked about his knowledge on the issue, Sambo said he will only reveal the truth in proper court.
Deng Pangilinan, on the other hand, said it might be possible for Sambo to know the truth, because he was then a supporter of Gov. Eddie Panlilio, who may have allegedly benefited from the incident.
“Kaya nga si Baby Pineda nagsampa ng kaso dahil dapat ay mabilang iyong mga balota pero nasunog. Hindi na nangyari na pumabor naman sa kanya mga sinusuportahang kandidato na si Panlilio,” Pangilinan said.
Pangilinan said Morales has nothing to gain from the burning of the ballots, as he was already elected and proclaimed then as mayor of the town.
“Ano pang pakialam ni Mayor Morales doon sa insidente, e naproklama na siya bago nangyari ang sunog?” he said.
In a media interview, Morales said the issue being raised by John -- his son-in-law -- is just a figment of his imagination and is politically motivated as the May 10 polls draws near.
It can be recalled that more than half of the 399 ballot boxes were razed in a fire that broke out at a storage room of the Comelec here in 2007. The ballot boxes contained election returns and ballots cast during the last elections.
Then Pampanga gubernatorial bet and Board Member Lilia Pineda filed an election protest before the Commission on Elections (Comelec), claiming that there were irregularities in the canvassing of votes during the last elections, particularly in Mabalacat and other Pampanga towns.

Comelec urges electorate Go out and vote
BY: JOEL P. MAPILES
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO --- Attorney Temie Lambino, provincial election supervisor of the Commission on Elections (Comelec), is urging the more than 1 million voters of Pampanga to go out and fully exercise their right to suffrage.
The provincial election officer said that in exercising the right to suffrage, it’s not enough that the electorates are registered. The most important thing, he said, is their participation as voters in today’s national elections.
Lambino said his advice to the people is to vote wisely and conscientiously because their votes would spell the future of the country in the next years to come.
However, he reminded the electorate not to resort to selling their votes, because if this happens, it’s like selling the future of the country and their children’s future.
He also reminded the candidates not to engage in vote-buying because if they do so, they may face charges of violating the Omnibus Election Code.
Instead, Lambino said the electorates and the candidates should give their active participation in protecting the sanctity of ballots and help make the elections clean, peaceful orderly and with integrity.
Meanwhile, he said that yesterday was the last day of PCOS machine testing as the machines and CF cards were already delivered by eight forwarders in all polling centers through the assistance of the Philippine Army and the Philippine National Police who have been securing the polling centers since May 3.
Lambino said the Comelec is now ready for today’s elections, including the board of election inspectors and other personnel.

Hizon said victory in the mayoral race signaled the start of the “the greater challenge of his life” to work for the people whom they pledged to serve.

The mayor-elect said through the fervent prayer and support of the people during the 45-day campaign period and their warm reception gave him a sweet victory.
