Angara to Comelec: Probe TU's 12-0 sweep if you must

Edgardo Angara, formerly from the opposition block, and now an administration senatorial candidate, found no problem in the growing calls for the Commission on Elections to immediately conduct an investigation on the reported 12-0 sweep of Team Unity in Maguindanao province. “If the Comelec finds (that reports of election fraud in Mindanao are) credible, then they ought to investigate (them)," Angara told reporters on Tuesday when he dropped by at the headquarters of the National Movement for Free Elections in Greenhills, San Juan where quick count is on-going. Angara, however, said that a 12-0 TU victory is not impossible in Maguindanao because all the mayors in the province's 22 towns are unopposed and thus are capable of delivering command votes. “I think (the election) was fair in Maguindanao...There are 22 towns and municipalities there and... the 22 mayors...have no opponents," he said. - Fidel Jimenez, GMANews.TV
