[Title] => Priest asks CBCP to push for partial poll automation
[Summary] =>
A senior Jesuit priest from Cebu appealed to the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) to stand firm in its stance to push for the partial automation of May 14 elections despite the government’s final decision to revert to manual counting for lack of time.
In his letter to the CBCP, Fr. Emmanuel Non asked the bishops to urge the government to reconsider poll automation, saying this is crucial in the campaign for credible and peaceful elections.

[Title] => Abalos cool to Gordon’s ‘Botong Pinoy’ technology
[Summary] =>
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is not convinced by the offer to use the so-called "Botong Pinoy" technology which was proposed by Sen. Richard Gordon for possible implementation of the partial automated polls during the May 14 elections.
"A free technology does not mean it’s the appropriate and best system," Comelec Chairman Benjamin Abalos said in reaction to proposals to use the Filipino-developed technology.

[Title] => Credible or incredible elections?
[Summary] =>
The statement of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) hits the nail right on the head when it said this country needs credible elections which should not be marred by any allegations of cheating or dagdag-bawas. If that happens, then we can expect another period of political instability, and this time, it could create a real firestorm. Do we want credible or incredible elections? If nobody believes the results of the elections, then we’re back to square one.
