Sia, Bayatan each issued Comelec summons Familiaran receives notice regarding manual audit6/20/2016 Bacolod City Election Officer Atty. Mavil Majarucon-Sia and Atty. Joselito Bayatan, legal counsel to Bacolod City Mayor-elect Evelio ‘Bing’ Leonardia, each received a summons to submit documents from 198 clustered precincts in 45 barangays in the city. Vice Mayor-elect El Cid Familiaran also received a notice for the manual audit of four clustered precincts. An order was also issued to the city treasurer to hold and secure the custody of the ballot boxes, vote counting machines, and other election paraphernalia until further notice from the Commission on Elections (Comelec). The summons was the result to a suit filed by Atty. Lyndon Caña, on behalf of the National Unity Party-Magbinuligay Kita sa Kauswagan (NUP-MKK), against the Bacolod City Board of Canvassers demanding a manual count and audit of ballots to validate the automated election results. Recently, Partido MKK candidates Bacolod City Mayor Monico Puentevella and running mate Vladimir ‘Vladi’ Gonzalez filed an election protest before the Electoral Contest Adjudication Department of the Comelec seeking for a manual recount or auditing of the ballots casted during the May 9 polls./WDJ Watchmen Daily Journal By Dominique Gabriel G.
