THE son of the late President Ferdinand Marcos yesterday warned of a civil war should massive cheating in the coming polls happen and the real winner in the presidential race will not be declared.
Ilocos Norte Rep. Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., a senatorial candidate of the Nacionalista Party (NP), said the people should be vigilant in ensuring that the real choice of the people would lead the country after June 30.
Marcos issued the warning amid speculations that the recent appointment of Gen. Delfin Bangit as chief of staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) is connected to the purported massive election fraud scheme being readied by the administration.
The opposition lawmaker said the Commission on Elections, Philippine National Police and the AFP itself must ensure that the next president will be the real choice of the majority of Filipinos.
“It’s going to be chaos if voting in the May elections will be marred by widespread fraud. If in previous elections we saw only demonstrations and rallies, this time around, civil war could erupt,” Marcos warned.
He said the people will not allow a repeat of the massive cheating during the 2004 presidential election which the late opposition standard-bearer Fernando Poe Jr. lost to President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
