of 224,682 clustered precincts). If the election, under which he has been proclaimed elected, was marred by fraud to such a massive extent, then why did Zubiri accept his alleged “mandate” from such fraudulent elections? 15.2.
By counter-protesting 1/3 of the country, it is
OBVIOUS that Zubiri, the one enjoying the contested office, is involved in a DELAY-THE-PROTEST strategy! Which strategy speaks volumes on the lack of substance, integrity and credibility of his counter-protest. The massive scope of the counter-protest even smacks of bad faith.

Zubiri’s confusion or DELAY-THE-PROTEST strategy
also reveals itself in his adoption of the originally the protested 2,658 precincts. According to Zubiri: “xxx Protestee therefore intends to show, that the votes credited to protestant and to protestee in the canvass proceedings by the National Board of Canvassers truthfully pertains to each of them. In the event therefore that protestant withdraws protested precincts from judicial recount, protestee shall, by way of this counter-protest pursue said course of action based on the irregularities and fraud cited in pages 43 to 44 hereof.” (emphasis supplied; p. 45, Answer) 16.1. Pages 43 to 44 mention deliberate misreading, mistallying, misappreciation, unlawful counting of marked ballots, intentional dagdag-bawas, which are all fraudulent acts.
So,
which is which? Are the results in the originally protested 2,658 precincts truthful or the results of intentional fraudulent acts?
