The conduct of the voting and counting in other areas were as contemptible; massive cheating marked even Gonzales’ Bataan province so near Manila. Killings and coercions terrified the farther regions before and after the balloting.
Malala rin ang naging botohan sa ibang pook; pati sa Bataan na probin siya ni Gonzales ay matindi ang dayaan sa bilangan, takutan at bilihan ng boto — mga kaganapang hindi mapigil ng Comelec. Maraming kandidato ang napatay bago at makalipas ang halalan.
