                    [Summary] => Our senators are seeking the ouster of the officials of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) purportedly because of the alleged "highly anomalous" P1.24-billion contract for the purchase of automated counting machines in 2003. Here we go again… our senators have already ordained or even "convicted" Comelec officials for fraud for entering into this contract, a matter within the province of the judiciary. Let me make it clear to you that only a court of law can declare a contract anomalous or fraudulent and that is something someone has to prove in our courts.
