The latest count prior to the Congressional official
report on May 24, 2016, regarding the results of the presidential and
vice-presidential candidates, are cited below. The results came from a report
that 95.87 percent of precincts all over the country had reported.
The first column are the candidates for the
presidency, and the other names opposite them are their candidates for the
vice-presidency. The last column shows the difference between their votes.

From the votes cast
for the Presidents, there appears to be a difference of about 1.7 million
votes cast for the Vice-presidents. Even assuming that those given to the
late Seneres were deleted from those cast for Trillanes, the total number
went beyond the million attributed to the total or 39,814,093. (The votes for
Seneres were considered “void” and thus only 817,381 were credited as votes
for Trillanes.)
The last column shows
that, for the first line, the candidate for the presidency had ten million votes
difference, or that the voters considered that candidate as more qualified to
be their choice. The interpretation holds true for those in the lines where
the numbers are positive; Honasan and Escudero were considered “less
qualified” than their principals. On the other hand, since the difference is
quite high, in a total amounting to more than twelve million, Senator
Bongbong Marcos, is considered more than qualified than his principal, even
as his other opponent, Congresswoman Robredo, had more than four million
votes than her principal.

In the meantime,
Senator Marcos is complaining and objecting to the “win” of Congresswoman
Robredo of more than two hundred thousand votes (216,923), claiming of having
been “cheated” of his win.
With more than five
percent (100-95.87=4.23) votes or 1,792 thousand still to be counted, the
complaint will have to be resolved.
I have a few questions
on these numbers:
1.
How many precincts are there? And on an average, how many voters
are there per precinct?
2.
Since every sheet to be accomplished the voter had to shade the
names of those s/he voted for, why are the totals for the presidential and
the vice presidential candidates different?
3.
If I add all those votes given to the Vice Presidents
(39,814,093) and compare them with those given to the Presidents (41,563,596)
there will be a total only of about 40 million. I can only surmise that almost one million
did not shade or vote for any VP.
