Manila mayoral bet links Comelec to fraud in protest

AS far as lawyer Alex Lopez is concerned, the election in Manila isn't over as he ramped up his protest against the newly-sworn Mayor Maria Sheilah "Honey" Lacuna-Pangan, urging the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to take into its custody the disputed ballots in over 1,000 clustered precincts in the May 9 elections while linking some of poll personnel in a "clandestine transport of ballot boxes."

Lopez, who came in second in the city polls, filed his protest contesting the election and proclamation of Lacuna-Pangan alleging that massive electoral fraud, anomalies and irregularities were committed in all the 1,859 clustered precincts in Manila.
