opposition that there would be massive cheating to ensure the
victory of the administration candidates in the polls, said Chairman
Benjamin Abalos of the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
“This is a vindication for the
Comelec. The election was generally peaceful. There has been no
report of cheating whatsoever,” Abalos said in a press conference.
