My Aunt was a barangay kagawad candidate and we had only learned 2 days after the election that her name was listed as the 7th placer as what we have seen on the results on a facebook post. She could not believe because nobody told her about that and she did not hire watchers. Because of our excitement, we rushed to the local comelec office, it was at 9pm, and indeed we saw her name on their election results lists. The said list was signed by the Election Officer. But then when morning came, somebody told us that the election results list was taken out because of errors. We were outraged because the results may be altered. My Aunt demanded for a copy of the Election Returns and we saw that her name was interchanged with another candidate who was the true 7th placer. That certain candidate's name was also not written on the list we saw the night before.
We already accepted our defeat but can we do something about the error caused by Comelec? It shamed my Aunt and it gave her false hope.
