The Bangon Pilipinas Party (BPP) led by evangelist Bro. Eddie Villanueva said it is still gathering and awaiting more evidence from its supporters nationwide on alleged irregularities that marred the May 10 automated national and local elections.

Lawyer Lyndon Cana, one of Villanueva's legal counsels, said the party will pursue its own investigation into reports of alleged election fraud prior to the filing of cases in appropriate bodies.

Cana said his group is not taking lightly reports from the party's supporters that many votes for Bangon Pilipinas candidates were not counted in the last elections. "We are exploring all legal options on how these reported irregularities can be investigated and the proper cases are lodged," he added.

Earlier, the BPP said that while the automated electoral system had been applauded for its speed in generating poll results, efficiency or expediency in determining electoral results can never compensate or substitute for the sanctity of the ballot which must at all times be protected.”

It alleged that many voters have not been properly registered or counted by the PCOS machines.

The complaints, according to BPP vice presidential bet Perfecto Yasay, could ultimately involve millions of voters.

"It is a matter of great and urgent national importance not only because it impacts on the right of suffrage of the citizenry, but if confirmed to be true, constitutes a grave threat to Philippine democracy,” Yasay said.

Villanueva had deplored that he got zero votes in many precincts where his supporters voted.

He pledged to seek justice, adding that his lawyers are studying all remedies “to uphold and safeguard the sacred rights of the electorate and to submit their recommendations as quickly as possible.”
