CAGAYAN DE ORO, Philippines – Acting Comelec election officer Palmer P. Palamine ordered the Office of the City Treasurer to do a re-inventory of election materials, and file an incident report on the 4 boxes taken out from city hall at 5 pm on Monday, May 6.

Three city hall employees allegedly took out the boxes from the Treasurer’s office where other election paraphernalia were stored.

Reports on Tuesday confirmed that there were boxes brought out, but they were supposedly personal property of the city administrator Griselda Joson.

Acting City Treasurer Engr. Marilyn Legaspi said, “Dli gyud na pwede mahitabo.” (It could not have happened.) She explained that she is the only person authorized to unlock the office.

Legaspi said that her office is open to all for scrutiny. “The only way we can erase all doubts is through an inventory,” she added.

The re-inventory was scheduled at 2 pm today, and was supposed to cover all election paraphernalia. All sectors including the poll observers, Namfrel, PPCRV and the political parties were invited to observe and monitor the process. – Rappler.com
