11 HE beleaguered Media Citizens QuiC;k Count, . ;, almost since Day' One the target of both insinu-
<.·ations and accusations of questionable behavior, as well as the bUll of heckling for its less-than-lightning- . quick.;iabulation of the votes, final,ly got down to the
.. nitty~gnlly. ". It adII1illed that there may be padding of results in the
presid~ntial race, and formally asked the Commission 6n -' Elections to investigate repons that some murucipal. and
provincial canvasserS may have tampered with election returns:
That's quite a heavy load the MCQC has been canying, from the· publishers' who compose the majority of its governing council down to the young and bright-eyed volunteers who have had to endure, not only the stink of unflushed toilets, but also, and most imponantly, asper,sions on the purity of their intentions, to speak ·nothing iof the possibility' of fraud staining their efforts. . For young people. who ·have yet to comprehend the TWists and turns of realpolitik and the tn/th of the dictum that more often than not 'there is no justice in this world,' . . the last one's a major blow. . '
. But we have to hand it to the MCQC for taking up the enterprise of a parallel count,given how the group has become as a punching bag in a gym filled with combar:. ive boxers. What doubles its burden, however, is this: Because the media play a signifi~ant -- some say domi
·nant -- pan in it, rightly or wrongly media's credibility has been l:iid on the line. .
Unfair? Well, that's the way it goes, Having set itself up as a nonpartisan bloc that would
engage in a quick tabulation of votes, the slow trickle of election returns has.Jed the MCQC to be charged, for example, with "trending," and therefore bias, in Javor of whoever the winning candillate may be at a given moment., ,..... 0'~ ,
, And now thIS admlsslo(!', not of fraud, but the POSS1-
, biliry of fraud. • (,. . In the days immediately following the May 11 polls,
there was such a euphqria over this country having pulled off a clean and pe:1ceful election, this country s,o hungry for achievements on which to congratulate itself.
But quickly came information that it wasn't all that · "clean" nor all that "peacefuL" As a member of an Ill·
: temational observers mission put it, if "clean" were to : be used in the absolute sense, then it was not a clean : election. , Then again, it would be hard to imagine how it could : possibly have been clean, if we are to take the perspec- I : live of, no! the disenchanted,·but the realist. Or the cynic I'
who, having (correctly) noted that the system is hardly · different from the w'ay it was in'the bad old days, pro· 1
: ceeded to let election day go by without budging from 1 , his house, convinced that it's all over, including the I"
counting. ' . But that is not our view. Our view' is that the MCQC
· should 'carry on with the canvassing of votes based on the "good cerlific~,ies of canvass" that it has. The Comciec, according lOWe MCQc's'u'rgent request, will have to
, investigate the "isolated certificates of canvass covering · 'oj few precincts in Misamis Oriental ,and 'Lanao del Sur." · Let' us make. tris point: The discovery of apparent fraud is hardly surp'rising in ado-or-die, down-to-the-
, wire contest whe~e partisanship deals the mostteUing blows. ..".:.'
This is the context within which the MCQC is ca-lJect upon to operate. This is why someone like MCQC 'volunteer Gerry Tanas'could so easily lose his life to an as-
· sassin under the Nueva Vizcaya stars. Let. us take the point further:, All this is merely fallout
· from the highly partisan behavior of this adininistraiion, \\.'hich, instead of holding itself above the fray, waded right in and pulled out all the stops,
