All concerned and responsible Filipinos, individuals and groups in the Philippines and abroad
If and when all election results come out whereby the senatorial bid of lawyer and certified public accountant Glenn A. Chong eventually fails or falls to conveniently land him a Senate seat, Atty. Glenn Chong, most kindly lead and give us, your supportes in the Philippines and overseas the clear guide and opportunity to help you initiate and sustain (y)our legal moves to ultimately terminate the presently existing contract of the Commission on Elections ( Comelec) with Smartmatic hand in hand with the conduct of immediate appropriate probes (lifestyle check is as well a must) of all the erring officials, employees and their cohorts!
We also further REITERATE that if and when all election results come out whereby the senatorial candidacy of Atty. Chong miserably failed and he would be unable to secure a Senate seat, he himself shall undertake to bring this crisis before the Supreme Court of the Republic of the Philippines to declare
these recent midterm polls, if legally possible a
failure of elections!
And status quo ante or the previously existing state of affairs meantime prevails!
Through your consistent valiant expose' and efforts to oppose the widespread irregularities of our previous and worse, the most recent electoral processes, there really is no more "credibility" left at our own Comelec, thus the necessity for all of incumbent commissioners, the chairman, spokesperson and key officials included to resign en mass irrevocably at the soonest possible time for President Rodrigo "Digong" Roa Duterte to provide a fresh mandate to those to be appointed men and or women who shall comprise the untarnished and incorruptible infrastructure and structure of the all new Comelec.
Let us all continue to change and reform the Philippine electoral system!

That's more than enough grounds and guidelines!
Aside from the very basic, the Comelec's precinct finder link which reportedly remained unactivated days before, on election day and thereafter due again to system glitch (COMELEC: Precinct Finder link leaked before it was ready, http://cnnphilippines.com/news/2019/5/11/comelec-precinct-finder.html
Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, May 11) — An official from the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) said on Saturday that the poll body's online precinct finder was not yet ready before it was shared with the public.
Speaking to CNN Philippines, COMELEC Commissioner Rowena Guanzon said, "Somebody leaked it when it's not yet tested. Somehow, the link was uploaded — you know how Filipinos are so creative. We have not yet announced the official website for the precinct finder, whatever you have now is not it."), hereunder are some of the reported anomalies (the widespread, involving large quantity and adversely affecting thousand of voters allover the world) [malfunctions of Vote Counting Machines (VCM) and Voter Registration Verification Machines (VRVM)] during the recent midterm polls which were published in the newspapers and at online/ social media:
(1) Mga pumalyang makina, marker ilan sa inireklamong aberya sa halalan
MGA TAGA-CAVITE NAABALA SA PAGPAYLA NG MGA VRVM, VCM
Naabala rin ang pagboto ng maraming botante sa Cavite dahil nasira ang halos lahat sa mga ipinadalang VRVM.
Pagpatak ng alas-4 ng hapon, sira na ang 1,812 sa 2,612 na VRVM sa lalawigan, ayon kay Ranulfo Pioquinto, Cavite Provincial Election Supervisor.
Ibig sabihin, 800 VRVM lang umano ang nagamit sa mga polling precinct sa buong lalawigan.
"Almost lahat ng VRVM ay hindi nag-function," ani Pioquinto.

Bumoto na ako mga KaBayanihan at mga Kapatid, pero me problema sa binoto kong Partylist. Ang binoto ay # 164 Agbiag Partylist pero ang lumabas sa resibo ay iba. Kaya bago nyo ilagay sa box ang resibo nyo ay basahin nyo muna kung pareho ang nakasulat sa balota nyo at sa resibo nyo.
Sinulatan ko ang likod ng resibo ko at nilagay ko dun na ang binoto ko ay # 164 Agbiag pero iba ang nakasulat sa resibo at ipinakita ko ito sa mga kapwa ko botante at sinabi ko sa kanila na pag ito ay nakarating sa protesta ay sila ang magtestigo na me anomalya na nangyari sa precint 2114N sa North Fairview Elem School.
Bantayan ang ating mga boto!

Goodafternoon! Lahat ng boto namin ay inilagay sa isang kahon dahil sira ang machine. Maraming tao ang nag back out kanina dahil ayaw sa gantong sistema. Why exercise your vote nga naman kung di mo alam kung mapupunta nga ba sa tama. Smell something isdaaa.
Dapat kasi may naka stand by na technicians pero sabi dito ay sa comelec pa ito manggagaling. Wala ding reserve na isa pang machine para sana may magamit pa kung nasira yung isa.
This is in Sta Rosa Laguna. Sabi rin ng mommy ko may watchers naman daw. Pero di ba yung mga watchers na yan bayad din ng bawat kandidato? I dont want to judge pero may possibilities kasi. Kasama ako sa nagback out pero pinabalik ako ng mom ko to still vote parin. Para nalang daw sa formality. Atlis daw nakaboto. Though, mabigat sa loob ko na diko alam kung mapapabuti ba yung mga boto or not. Haaay. Pinas.
