After proclaiming a failure of elections in Maguindanao, the COMELEC has backtracked and has validated the elections in Maguindanao. The reason? The winners of the local elections in the province has been declared. As if that’s a good enough reason. There’s no dumber reason. In the first place, the COMELEC itself was the one who declared those winners and not some higher authority. As if the declaration of the winners of the local winners nullifies and discredits the testimonies of the many witness to the alleged cheating. As if the countless proofs saying otherwise are now invalid.

Every Filipino citizen who still cares for this country, and it already much maligned justice system should react violently to this issue.
