@dawn_runner: kana imo gi post nga conversation, was it from the alleged original or the spliced one? mas maau tingali bai kong ang alleged original i-post para medyo fair sab ba.

wala na lain outputs about atong request ngano ipa delay ang canvassing?

This is from the "spliced one" which I considered the original. By the way bay, Bunye backtrack today. Ingon siya dili na sad kuno si GMA ang nag sulti sa tape.

Tsk. Wa na siya mag kadimao bay.

By the way, Manila is already on red alert.

Here is the article regarding the denial of Sec. Bunye:

Bunye admits mistake in tape release
Presidential Spokesman Ignacio Bunye on Thursday said he acted on his own when he presented to the media two compact discs (CDs) purportedly containing the wiretap indicating President Arroyo was pressing for an election victory.

Bunye at the same time backtracked on his earlier statement that it was the President's voice heard on the tape.

"It is possible that I am wrong. There's so much that technology can do. This should be brought to the NBI (National Bureau of Investigation) for analysis," Bunye said in an interview with DZMM's Todo Balita.

He also denied reports he is being pressured by Malacañan to resign.

In explaining why he played the CDs to the media, Bunye said: "I acted on my discretion because in my viewpoint, the second tape was already being aired by your station."

He added: "I couldn't wait long just to let the people know that this tape that is being played is not the real tape."

He said DZMM's airing of the tape Monday afternoon prompted him to call for a press conference to debunk the authenticity of the tape.

He said he immediately contacted Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita after the press conference to explain.

Bunye said he also sent the two CDs to the NBI for analysis.

Bunye also claimed the CDs were sent to his house in Alabang last Sunday, which were then picked up by an aide last Monday.

Bunye earlier cited "intelligence reports" when he announced of the destabilization plot as early as Sunday afternoon.

"I have a house in Alabang that I don't use anymore. One of my assistants goes there and picks up my mail and brings it to the office," he said.

He added: "Because I was the last to arrive at the office, when I arrived the brown envelope with two discs was already there."

"I believe this was delivered to the house Sunday but was brought to my office on Monday morning. I only saw it at 11:30 a.m. Monday."

He said he became unavailable for interviews after his Monday press conference due to illness.

Malacañan as early as Saturday was already aware of the existence of the audiotape. It was no less than Bunye who leaked the news about its existence, which was reported by DZMM Saturday evening.


Bunye blamed the opposition for the latest destabilization attempt.

He said the issue was not his divulging of the tape but the wiretapping of the President's conversation, which violated the anti-wiretapping law.

"The issue here is wiretapping. This is a big crime, which violates a private right under our law. This is further complicated because the conversation was doctored so it can be used to destabilize the administration," he said.

He added that he would also appear before the NBI if summoned in the investigation.

He said Mrs. Arroyo was already concentrating "on matters of state and letting the NBI handle the investigation."

Justice Secretary Raul Gonzales earlier said his agency will investigate lawyer Allan Paguia for coming out with the wiretapped audio recording.

Gonzales added that Bunye may be similarly liable for violating the anti-wiretapping law for making copies of the recording.

Paguia, former lawyer of deposed President Joseph Estrada, said the voice making annotations on the tape.

On the tape, a voice sounding like the President's is heard talking to "Gary," whom Paguia identified as Commission on Elections (COMELEC) commissioner Virgilio Garcillano, about the canvassing of votes in Mindanao, particularly in Lanao del Sur.

The conversation centered on the votes cast for former senator Robert Barbers, an administration ally.

Garcillano has denied that he was the voice on the tape. The elections commissioner said he could not have taken part in any plan to rig elections in Mindanao because he was assigned to Southern Tagalog and Bicol regions.

Futile. Comelec Chairman Benjamin Abalos went on TV to try to defend Commissioner Virgilio Garcillano and himself from the incriminating consequences of the Gloriagate tapes.

Obviously rattled and stressed, Abalos maintained that the tapes from May 31 to June 6, were not to be believed because the Comelec had already proclaimed the winners on May 30.

Wrong, lame, unacceptable, Mr. Chairman. What you proclaimed on May 30 were only 11 senators. The 12th being contested by Rodolfo “Pong” Biazon and Robert Barbers was still up in the air. As far as the presidency is concerned, the canvassing was still ongoing in Congress.

Note the reference in the tapes to the missing Camarines Norte certificate of canvass.

Note the many sections in the tapes on the attempt of the First Gentleman to help Barbers overtake Biazon.

Incidentally, we must congratulate Sen. Pong Biazon for effectively striking fear into Malacañang's occupants when he threatened to open ballot boxes in Mindanao causing GMA to say, “Baka madale tayo” and stopping their pro-Barbers operations.

I recall Biazon saying, “You don't know what a Marine general can do.” With the release of the Gloriagate tapes, it is now time for Pong Biazon to move to the opposition side in the Senate.
