Pabalibaliktarin mo ang tingin, sumirko ka, magpagulong-gulong ka, dayain mo ang sarili mo ay sa simbahan pa rin baya ang tuloy ng prusisyon. Kanselado ang kandidatura ni Regina kaya iligal ang kasukasukang ginawang proklamasyon sa kanya na taliwas sa daang matuwid, taliwas sa batas ng Diyos at ng Tao.
Marinduque lawmaker demands proclamation
MANILA, Philippines - Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Jay Velasco said yesterday he should be the one who should be proclaimed winner in the hotly contested congressional race in his province.
In a statement, Velasco, son of Supreme Court Justice Presbitero Velasco, said his opponent, Regina Reyes, was “never a candidate” since the first division of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) had disqualified her for allegedly being an American citizen.
He claimed that the entire Comelec, to which Reyes appealed her disqualification, has upheld the decision of its first division. Thus, Velasco said he should be proclaimed winner, being the “sole qualified candidate.”
He disputed the statement of Reyes’ brother Edmund, who heads the Toll Regulatory Board, that his sister has been proclaimed with a 5,000-vote lead over Velasco. He said there has been no “official proclamation” yet.
The STAR asked Edmund Reyes for a copy of his sister’s certificate of proclamation yesterday, but as of press time, the document has not been emailed. Edmund is a former congressman.
In the Comelec website, Regina Reyes was ahead of her congressman-opponent by fewer than 3,000 votes. She received 41,072 votes against Velasco’s 38,111.
