This report cannot be taken lightly: the hacking, and defacement of a 5th government website:
COMELEC Unseats Gov. Grace Padaca. Ed Panlilio Next?
The Commission on Elections (COMELEC), on Tuesday declared former Governor Benjamin Dy the rightful winner of the 2007 Isabela Elections for governor, and ordered Governor Grace Padaca to vacate the position immediately.
The almost two and a half year recount finally ended with former Governor Dy winning by just a margin of around 1,051 votes. [...]
Which is more corrosive to the youth, being gay or cheating in elections?
