During the term of Dr. William Dy as the 7th president, inspite of his best effort to create and institutionalize a credible COMELEC and election rules (please read his letter to The Council of Advisers dated Dec. 2006), it was hampered by these fixers resulting in an extraordinary takeover by the current administration.

Let me give you the facts;
