G1BO’S STAND ON THE “WHISTLE-BLOWER”
PRESS STATEMENT
Atty. Gilberto “Gibo” Teodoro
9 PM, May 18, 2010
The allegation of electoral fraud made by the alleged whistleblower demands no less than a serious investigation as to the veracity of his statements. In the interest, therefore, of transparency which is a standard that we cherish in governance, I request all concerned to take the necessary steps in order to determine the truth of the allegations made by the whistleblower because if proven correct, they seriously affect the integrity of the election. If, on the contrary, there is no closure to this controversy, there will always be a lingering doubt on the outcome of the election.
I make this statement not in the interest of myself as a presidential candidate but in the interest of the truth in order to reinforce our sacred right of suffrage, which is the cornerstone of democracy. If the statement of whistleblower is proven false, then he must suffer corresponding penalties. But such shall only be known, after a transparent, public, and thorough investigation by an impartial body.
