1980s Marcos Loyalists Withdraw Support from Bongbong Marcos, Declare Full Support for FPRRD and VP Sara Duterte

 The 1980s Original Marcos Loyalists, formally announce a major shift in our political stance. After decades of unwavering support for the Marcos legacy, we are officially declaring:

(1) Our Withdrawal of Support from President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., and

(2) Our Full Support for Former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte (FPRRD) and Vice President Sara Duterte.

The  group, composed of veterans who stood by the Marcos family through the most critical moments of history, has come to this difficult but necessary decision after assessing the current state of national leadership. While we once placed our trust in President Bongbong Marcos to uphold and continue the legacy of his father, we are now deeply disillusioned. His administration has not met the expectations of strong, decisive governance, nor has it prioritized the needs of the common Filipino.

In contrast, the leadership of Former President Rodrigo Duterte and Vice President Sara Duterte exemplifies the kind of courage, discipline, and firm action that our country urgently needs. FPRRD’s administration was marked by real change — infrastructure development, anti-drug campaigns, and peace efforts — while VP Sara continues to show strong and pragmatic leadership.

This declaration reflects our renewed commitment to a vision of leadership that serves the people with integrity and strength. We are calling on all fellow Marcos loyalists and patriotic Filipinos to reflect, reassess, and stand with us in support of the Duterte leadership.

This is not just a political statement — it is a stand for the future of our nation.

Mabuhay si FPRRD at VP Sara Duterte! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

Eight (8) Areas of the Election Results that are VERY DISTURBING

 

Below is the summary of observations and findings by the Alyansa ng Nagkakaisang Mamamayan (ANIM) and the Church Leaders Council for National Transformation (CLCNT).

1) All the Election Returns (ERS) from the precincts nationwide were NOT SENT DIRECTLY to PPCRV, NAMFREL, and the Media, but were SENT FIRST to an intermediary server, the DATA CENTER 3, that consolidated the election returns from the precincts before they were sent to PPCRV, NAMFREL, and the Media. This was in violation of Comelec's own Comelec Resolution 11098, Annex B (ACM Operation Procedures, 13 Dec 2024) where it was clearly stated that when the "START TRANSMISSION" button of the ACM at the precinct is MBOC (city/municipal), Central tapped, the transmission of the ERs will proceed to the following servers - Server, Citizen's ARMM Server 1, Citizen's ARMM Server 2, Media Server, Dominant Majority Server, and Dominant Minority Server. DATA CENTER 3 SERVER was not listed as among those to receive ERs from the ACMs. DATA CENTER 1 is an illegal, unlawful server.

2) Comelec, thru its Data Center 3, was the only one that performed the consolidation of all election returns from precincts nationwide, without the presence or participation of PPCRV, Namfrel, and the Media.

3) There was a long delay before Comelec, thru its Data Center 3 Server, released the first batch of the consolidated election results data, in the format agreed by the parties, to PPCRV, Namfrel, and the Media. According to Eric Alviar, Namfrel Secretary General, the delay was around 2 hours from the closing of voting period. What really happened during those 2 hours when the PPCRV, Namfrel, and the Media were blind as to the election results from precincts nationwide, when only Comelec had exclusive access and control to the results?

4) The Comelec, thru Data Center 3, merely supplied PPCRV, Namfrel, and the media with the consolidated election results data from precincts nationwide, which the latter used for their respective TALLIES of election results. Comelec was the ONLY source of the COMPLETE election results data from precincts nationwide. The PPCRV, Namfrel, and the media did not have any other independent source of the complete election results from precincts nationwide apart from the ones supplied by Comelec.

5) A vote discrepancy of around 5 million votes was discovered by Rappler and other media teams. Comelec said it was due to duplication in the transmission of some election returns. But the Comelec was the ONLY ONE who conducted the "cleaning" or "paglilinis" process of the vote discrepancy. It deleted around 5 million votes. PPCRV, Namfrel, and the media were not present or involved in the clean-up process. Thereafter, Comelec merely supplied to PPCRV, Namfrel, and the media the cleaned or corrected data files.

6) Thousands of voters complained that their VVPATS or voter's receipts did not reflect the list of candidates they voted for. May nadagdag. May nabawas. Many voters also complained that the ballots issued to them were pre-shaded, or where the names of certain candidates were already shaded. Comelec still has to issue the official data of the total numbers of these complaints.

7) In the 2019 midterm elections, a total of 1,170,331 official ballots had overvotes. Meaning, 1,170,331 voters were disenfranchised in the 2019 election. In this 2025 midterm elections, Namfrel reported that there was 17,028,780 overvotes. Namfrel said that from 2010 to 2022 elections, the overvotes averaged only at 1.5% to 2.5%, but for this 2025 election, the overvotes reached 29.89%. Should this be a cause for serious concern for all of us?

8) The Comelec changed the program installed in the ACM and used an "updated" version 3.5.0 that did not go through the local source code review and independent certification by IT experts and organizations, as required by law (Sec 12, RA 9369). Comelec made the change without notice to the public, without explaining why it had to "update" the program, and what changes were made in the updated version.

Forum Highlights Quiboloy’s Platform and Transport Issues at Kamuning Bakery Café

 

Quezon City — The historic Kamuning Bakery Café once again served as the vibrant venue for public discourse, hosting a timely forum that tackled pressing political and transportation issues. Held at the café’s iconic location on Judge Jimenez Street corner K-1st Street, Barangay Kamuning, the event drew members of the media, civic leaders, and concerned citizens eager to hear from key national figures.

The forum featured two prominent speakers: Atty. Israelito Torreon, spokesperson for senatorial aspirant Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy, and Mr. Ariel Lim, national president of the National Public Transport Coalition (NPTC). The discussion was moderated by National Press Club (NPC) Director Benedict Abaygar, ensuring a smooth flow of ideas and engaging dialogue.

Atty. Torreon took the floor first, presenting the platform and plans of Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy, who has recently declared his intention to run for a seat in the Senate. According to Torreon, Pastor Quiboloy’s platform centers on moral governance, national discipline, and socio-economic reforms aimed at uplifting the lives of ordinary Filipinos. Torreon emphasized Quiboloy’s commitment to addressing poverty through agricultural development, job creation, and strengthened social welfare programs.

"Pastor Quiboloy believes that true change begins with moral transformation," Torreon said. "His platform is not only about infrastructure and policy but also about instilling discipline and ethical responsibility among leaders and citizens alike." Torreon also addressed the controversies surrounding Quiboloy, stating that these should not overshadow the aspirant’s legislative agenda and his vision for national progress.

Shifting the spotlight to transportation, Mr. Ariel Lim delivered an impassioned talk on the state of road safety, the surge of road rage incidents, and the myriad transport issues facing the country today. As head of the NPTC, Lim has long been an advocate for better transport policies and stronger enforcement of traffic laws.

"Our roads have become battlegrounds, not only for space but for basic respect and human decency," Lim declared. He called for comprehensive reforms that go beyond punitive measures, advocating for driver education, mental health support for public utility vehicle drivers, and the modernization of transport infrastructure to ensure safety for all road users. Lim also touched on the urgent need to resolve chronic traffic congestion, which he described as "an economic and social cancer draining the productivity of our people."

The forum provided an open floor for questions from the media and the public, sparking lively exchanges on both political and transport-related matters. Director Benedict Abaygar of the National Press Club skillfully steered the conversation, allowing both speakers to elaborate on their points while encouraging diverse perspectives from the audience.

The event at Kamuning Bakery Café not only underscored the importance of public engagement in national issues but also reinforced the role of such forums in fostering informed debate. The café, known for its historical significance and commitment to free speech, proved once again to be a fitting venue for dialogue that bridges political, civic, and grassroots concerns.

Attendees lauded the forum for bringing to light the overlapping challenges of governance and public service, from legislative platforms to everyday transport woes. As the country inches closer to election season, forums like these are expected to play a crucial role in shaping public opinion and guiding voter decisions.

With the spirited exchange of ideas and solutions, the Kamuning Bakery Café forum set the tone for more discussions to come, reaffirming the need for collaborative efforts in addressing the nation’s most pressing challenges.
