Los Angeles Times: Jailed Filipino likely to be a senator

Comelec’s delaying tactics regarding the proclamation of Antonio Trillanes IV as senator of the republic is direct contempt and insult to 11+ million voters. It’s affirmed and validated that Chairman Benjamin Abalos is following orders or directives from usurper Gloria Arroyo. Trillanes cannot be dislodged from the winning circle even he got zero votes from Maguindanao. Chairman Abalos and rest of elections commissionaires are disgrace to Philippines’ fragile democracy. Anak ng jueteng, wala ba kayong natitirang delicadeza? RESIGN en mass!
