 Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Q. Pimentel, Jr. (PDP-Laban) said yesterday that the days of electoral fraud syndicates and so-called special operators are numbered as the automated system of voting and counting is implemented in today’s election in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
Pimentel challenged the people of ARMM to exercise their right of suffrage and to do their part in the historic efforts to cleanse the tainted electoral process in the region through the wonders of automation.
"I call on the people of the autonomous region to join hands with the political leaders, election authorities, and poll watchdog in restoring the integrity and credibility of our electoral process by eliminating cheating practices that have been a perennial problem in that part of the archipelago since time immemorial," he said.

Senate Majority Leader Francis Pangilinan on Wednesday assailed Malacañang's "utter lack of transparency" in its selection process to fill up vacant posts at the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
Pangilinan – who has long been calling on Malacañang to open up the selection process to the public – said that while Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita referred to a search committee on Comelec appointees, the composition of the supposed committee remains unknown.
"In a press conference in Malacañang, Secretary Eduardo Ermita said that anyone can submit names to the search committee on the COMELEC appointees. What search committee? It seems only Malacañang is aware of the existence of this committee and if so, then only they will end up submitting names for screening," Pangilinan said in a statement.
