'Spliced'

Conversation between "Gary" and Mike on 08 1433H June 04

Boss tulungan mo sana yung loyal sa atin si Bobby Barbers,

Papano pag kayu-kayo dyan

Tignan mo, oo, nagfile ng parang annulment or something, tignan mo kung matutulungan mo

O sige basta kwan, talaga naming aking inaano si Bobby e, talaga naming siya naman ang atin e

Oo siya, sya talaga ang atin, tulungan mo sana.

Ok.

Thank you.

 
Gary and Mike on 02 1156H June 2004

Kami ni Bobby Barbers dahil parang siya kasi doon sa Lanao del Sur. Meron pa raw 27 municipalities pa.

Alin, alin

Meron pa raw 27 municipalities dun sa Lanao del Sur

Hindi kasi ang kuwan dun sa Lanao del Sur, 2 presinto sa bayan, 4 na presinto sa Madalin, 1 presinto sa Capay, yun na lang.

So bale 5.

No. Pero presinto lang

A precinct lang.

Oo, wala naming 1000 e.

Ang impression, dahil sa Columbio meron pa raw 3rd siya.

Hindi wala na yung Columbio nakasama na nung kuwan,

Sa tingin ko wala na rin.

Ang South Op ang nilagay nila na merong 4000, pero kahit anu pa wala pa rin di makahabol.

E ang Tawi-Tawi makakuha pa raw siya ng 750

E, wala namang ano, ewan ko, wala namang ano yang Tawi-tawi.

Kawawa naman yung bata natin.

Alam mo, talagang inaano ko yan, pinagdududahan na ako ng nag-kuwan dun sa Lanao Sur.

(Laughter) Anak ng puta, hay naku, kawawa naman.

O sige tatawagan ko mamaya siya.

Sige tawagan mo siya kung puwede.

Sige.

Thank you, thank you.

 
Gary and Mike on 02 1023H June 2004

Hello.

Hello, si Mike to.

(garbled)

Hello.

Kung puwede ho, tulungan niyo si Bobby Barbers.

Oo nga ho, pero mahihirapan na tayo, medyo nabuko tayo sa Lanao del Sur at hindi na makakahabol dito sa Cotabato.

Ganun ba, baka puwede pang gawan ng paraan.

Nandito po kami sa session ngayon e. Nag-usap na kami ni Senator.

Ok.

 
Gary and PGMA on 31 2317H May 2004

Hello, Ma'm.

Gary and PGMA on 02 2229H June 2004

Hello, Ma'm, good evening.

Hello, dun ba sa Lanao del Sur tsaka sa Basilan yun lang bang match dun sa SOV sa COC.

Kuwan ho yan, ang sinasabi nila wala naman ho.

Hindi nagma-match.

Hindi nagma-match. May posibilidad na di magma-match kung hindi nila sinunod yung individual SOV ng mga munisipyo, pero ewan ko lang ho kung sa atin pabor o hindi kasi dun naman sa Basilan tsaka Lanao Sur, itong ginawa nila na pagpataas sa inyo hindi naman ho kuwan, maayos naman ang paggawa e.

So nagma-match?

Oho. Sa Basilan ay iyon ay pahabol na naman ng mga military dun, hindi masyado marunong kasi silang gumawa e, katulad sa Sulu, Habaton. Pero hindi naman ho kinausap ko kanina yung Chairman ng Board sa Sulu, ang akin e patataguin ko na muna yung EO ng Pagundaran na para hindi siya maka-testigo ho. Nai-print na ho yung kuwan Camarines Norte, tomorrow we will present official communication dun ho sa Senate, dun sinasabing wala hong laman yung ballot box.

Oo.

Na-receive ho nila lahat e.

Oo.

Tumawag ho kayo kanina, Ma'm?

Ya, about that Lanao del Sur at Basilan.

Oho. Nagkausap nga ho kami ni Abdullah dun sa kuwan kanina about this, iaano ko ho, wag ho kayo masyado mabahala, anyway we will take care of this, kakausapin ko rin si Atty. Makalintal.

Oo, tapos non si ano, tapos non si, Calanguyan meron daw silang teacher na nasa Witness Protection Program ng kabila.

Sino ho?

Yung kabila, may teacher daw silang hawak.

Wala naman ho, baka nananakot lang ho sila, kasi yung kuwan.

Calanguyan, Tawi-Tawi.

Calanguyan sa Tawi-Tawi, wala naman hong kuwan tayo dun, wala tayong ginawa dun sa Calanguyan, talo nga tayo dun, talo nga si Nur doon e.

Oo.

Sige, aanuhin ko ho.

Ok, sige, sige. Thank you, thank you.

Oo, oo.

Pero pano, san ho ba naman, ang hindi ko maintindihan what is that they are trying to drive at with 120 days (garbled) establish ng (gabled) precincts

Ok, ok, siguro ano, baka more shot in the dark lang yon. But I will just you know everything I'll found out, para we can always make the appropriate remedies.

Si Gen. Lumibao nasa Zamboanga na. I had all the people around us talk to him so that they will be able to prevent what (garbled) happened

Ok, ok, ok, sige, ok, thank you.

Hindi naman ho siguro nila maano ang ating Board of Canvassers pero ang military kasi si Gudani, sa kanila si Gudani. I do not know if they will file. Sa kanila si Gudani Ma'm, that is why I had to work with Gen. Esperon and Gen. Kyamco na at that time pinalitan namin si Gudani for a while kaya kuwan, pero bakit nila pa-filean yang mga military na sa kanila lahat na halos ayaw na ngang mag give way sa aming mga tao.

The taped conversations between President Arroyo and Commission on Elections (Comelec) on instructions to cheat massively for her to win the polls are genuine, while the MalacaƱang-claimed "original" copy has been doctored, a source knowledgeable in the ways of splicing tapes as well as spotting inconsistencies found in "faked" tapes told the Tribune yesterday, following the release to the media of the claimed tapes by presidential spokesman and Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye.

Also, in a privilege speech delivered yesterday, Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel Jr. posed questions that all pointed to the authenticity of the tape which MalacaƱang now tries to pass off as fabricated, even as Pimentel, in an interview with television reporters demanded the resignation of Mrs. Arroyo.

He asked Bunye to shed light on the following questions since it was he who brought the matter up for public discussion, among which was whether the conversation took place when the canvassing of the presidential votes was on-going and at a time when the President was tailing her main rival, Fernando Poe Jr.

ARROYO: Hello.

ALLEGED COMELEC OFFICIAL: Hello ma'am. Good morning ulit. Ok ma'am, mas mataas ho sya pero ma-compensate po sa Lanao yon. [Hello ma'am. Good morning, again. OK, ma'am, it's higher but but Lanao will compensate for it.]

ARROYO: So will I still lead by more than 1M?

ALLEGED COMELEC OFFICIAL: More or less (inaudible) advantage ma'am.

(Original, according to Malacanang) ARROYO: Hello.

GARY: Hello ma'm. Good morning ulit. Ma'm OK na ma'am. Sa Quick Count naming mas mataas ho siya pero maco-compensate ho sa Lanao yon. [M'am, it's ok. In the Quick Count, it's higher, but Lanao will compensate for it.]

ARROYO: So will I still lead by more than 1M?

GARY: More or less. it's still advantage, ma'am.

Conversation 2

Bunye said Arroyo had actually been speaking with a certain Gary, a campaign leader for the administration in Mindanao.

Below is the second conversation:

Conversation 2

(Allegedly tampered tape) ARROYO: Hello. Sa Lanao del Sur at Basilan hindi raw nagma-match yong SOV sa COCs. [In Lanao del Sur and Basilan the SOV (statements of votes-ed) don't match the COCs (certificates of canvass-ed).]

ALLEGED COMELEC OFFICIAL: Ang sinasabi nila wala na naman ho? [They say there's no discrepancy.]

ARROYO: Di nagma-match. [They don't match.]

ALLEGED COMELEC OFFICIAL: "Di nagna-match. Ay may posibilidad na hindi magma-match kung hindi sinunod ang individual SOV ng mga munisipyo. [They don't match. There's a possibility they won't match if the individual SOVs of the municipalities aren't followed.]

(Original, according to Malacanang) GARY: Hello ma'am, Good evening.

ARROYO: Hello. Sa Lanao del Sur at Basilan hindi raw nagma-match yong SOV sa COCs.

GARY: Ang sinasabi nila, wala na naman ho?

ARROYO: Di nagma-match.

GARY: Di nagma-match. Baka honest mistake lang ho dahil sa pagod at puyat ng canvassers. [They don't match. It could be an honest mistake because the canvassers are tired and haven't had any sleep.]

On the second conversation, the phrase "Baka honest mistake lang ho" was deleted and allegedly replaced by "may posibilidad na hindi magma-match kung hindi sinunod ang indivicual SOV ng mga munisipyo."
