3. Coercing the COMELEC

a) Changing Election Rules During Election Time -These conducts are unacceptable because it is unruly, undignified and improper. In Dr. William Dy's letter to the COA dated Dec. 2006 (please read )- , he already have reprimanded them regarding these kind of conducts. As Medical Specialists we do not deserve to be subjected to this kind of exercise because it would produce further dissents and confusions. Was it deliberate? If it was planned, who are the persons responsible?

b) The Angry Crowd Scenario-Since there was no preparation by the Administration to conduct an Election due to previously stated reasons, the COMELEC had announced that the rules applied last year will be the same rules that will be applied for the 2007 election. The COMELEC (composed of some past presidents and Council of advisers) together with the BOT was called by the President on November 11, 2007 (one day before the election date). Together in this room were a newly formed group of leaders who were highly charged regarding the conduct and the manner by which the election will be held. Why is the group there? I don't want to insinuate things but your guess is as good as mine (please read Dr. William Dy's Administrative complaint dated November 8, 2007-it was written before it happened). Who created this scenario? Again your guess is as good as mine. Remember Pontius Pilate when he was presented to an angry crowd by the Pharises?.....his decision was coerced! What is worst is that............. it led to the crucifixion. This things, we must not allow otherwise it would sow confusion amongst us and in the process crucify our organization. But no matter how hard we tried to avoid it, it happened because of the persistent insinuators and fixers deeply seated in our governing body (BOT).

c) The Shouting Lady- Do you remember the shouting lady during the Election period? Well I don't want to dignify her acts with a comment, but remember her for now because she will play a vital role in other confusing events that happened during our 13th Annual Convention.

**Who do you blame for all of these?; the Local Chapter Presidents?

- Certainly Not, the Group of Local Chapter Presidents are not to blame for they are the victims, they had been betrayed by a well planned deliberate deceitful political machinations being perpetrated by some members of the BOT. They had been USED and I believe most of our local chapter presidents knows now who these people are! (Please read the Administrative Complaint Against Dr. Rene Catan dated November 8, 2007- It was written before it happened). Here are the facts to support this claim;

d) The Politicalization of the Local Chapter Presidents

1) President's Presidents Meeting Part I- No BOT approval for the event, No BOT approval for its funding, BOTs not invited and unaware of the event. What is the purpose of this event? Why hide this event to the BOTs?.......can you comprehend the reason why?

2) President's Presidents Meeting Part II- Again No BOT approval for the event, again No BOT approval for its funding, again BOTs not invited and unaware of the event. Again what is the purpose of this event? Again why hide this event to the BOTs?.......again can you comprehend the reason why? Can we consider these acts as mental lapses on the judgment of our president or can you see a pattern of politicking?
