The University of the Philippines (UP) School of Statistics said Wednesday, May 11, that it sees no irregularity in the 68:32 transmission of poll results.
“Ang mga trend sa transmission ng boto tulad ng sa ’68:32 ratio’ ay hindi ebidensya ng pandaraya sa election. And hindi paggalaw ng ’68:32′ ratio’ base sa cumulative totals ay hindi maituturing na irregularity,” UP Statistics said in a statement.
“Mali ang mga kumakalat na analysis base sa cumulative o pinagsama-samang bilang ng boto sa bawat update,” it added.
UP Statistics affirmed that without a clear context, the pattern in the percentage of the vote “cannot be used as evidence of fraud.”
Some individuals raised concerns on social media of possible electoral fraud over an alleged 68:32 ratio transmission of polls results favoring presidential bet Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.
They noted that 68% of votes supposedly went to Marcos while the remaining 23% went to Vice President Leni Robredo. – ag
