PMA: We will not be part of cheating, failure of elections

Liberal Party standard bearer Sen. Noynoy Aquino on Monday said members of various alumni classes of the Philippine Military Academy assured him they will not be part of any plot to cheat or ensure a failure of elections in May.

He said many of the PMA alumi class representatives, whom he met separately, all wanted to make sure the elections push through and will be clean and fair.

“They are one of the biggest stabilizing forces in the country. They are thinking what their role would be if a failure of election happens,” he said.

But Aquino stressed his meetings with the PMA officers, who were a mixed group retired and active officers, were in the context of a public servant listening to his constituents.

“It was an exchange of ideas. They were talking about an adequate and appropriate response. That was all. The point is this has to be discussed before anything happens,” he said.

The LP has already aired their concerns over the Comelec’s capability to fully implement the nationwide automation of the May polls.
