LINGAYEN, Pangasinan – Ballot boxes from 199 precincts in 32 towns and two cities of this province will soon be on the way to the Commission on Elections head office in Manila for a manual recount of votes under the election protest lodged by former Gov. Victor E. Agbayani.
This was confirmed Thursday by Provincial Election Supervisor Temie Lambino who said the manual recount involving 20 percent of the clustered precincts had been set on June 3 by the Comelec 2nd Division.
Agbayani filed on May 24, 2010 his protest against the election of Gov. Amado T. Espino Jr. who piled up a lead of more than 500,000 votes.
