2. We also have reports that certain local government and Comelec officials whom we will not name here, were offered HUGE CASH INCENTIVES who are able to deliver 12-0 in favor of TU, and an ADDED BONUS is promised if GO candidate Alan Peter Cayetano gets ZERO VOTE.

3. We also have reports of verbal instructions from no less than the Office of the AFP Chief of Staff Gen. Hermogenes Esperon to all military commanders to ensure a TU 12-0 slate in their respective areas of responsibility especially in military camps where the canvassing of votes will be conducted.

We also have reports coming from Tarlac, Samar, Davao Oriental, Misamis Oriental, and Makati that during the absentee voting in the AFP between May 4 to 6, 2007, Army personnel were instructed to vote straight TU as per verbal order of CGPA. While voting, the soldiers were guarded by their officers and senior NCOs to ensure that they vote as ordered. In one area, the ballots which were placed in sealed envelops were collected and placed in a mere sack, not ballot box. The soldiers were directed to put their thumb marks and affix their signatures on blank sheets of paper which were collected by HPA personnel administering the absentee voting. In all areas, there were no overseeing COMELEC officials or representatives around, only direct commanders, AFP officers and NCOs.
