A TWO-PAGE document submitted to the Senate by former Palace worker Michaelangelo Zuce detailed a "special operation plan" for the "acquisition" of three million votes in Mindanao for President Arroyo, Sen. Sergio Osmeña III said yesterday.
The handwritten document was of lawyer Francisco Pobe, a Comelec provincial election supervisor who has served in Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur and Misamis Occidental.
Osmeña described Pobe as an operator of former Elections Commissioner Virgilio Garcillano who is accused with President Arroyo of rigging the May 2004 elections.
The document was presented during a Senate hearing last week by Zuce who said Comelec officials were bribed to ensure Arroyo’s victory in the May 2004 elections.
"I think this is one of the most damaging pieces of evidence presented by Zuce," Osmeña said. "But "I would like handwriting specimens of Attorney Pobe to determine first if it is his handwriting."
Osmeña on Monday said another document submitted by Zuce, which was prepared by Garcillano, listed the names of Comelec officials in Mindanao and the corresponding amounts given them.
Read the whole thing.
