“Try to imagine, even if there was an increase on the part of the Leni camp and whatever amount on the Bongbong Marcos votes, take note, there was an increase and therefore the computers, the machines did not function properly as promised,” said Atty. George Garcia in an interview on ABS-CBN News Channel.

The three provinces were chosen for vote recount by Marcos in his electoral protest, since he believed these are areas that had the most number of irregularities. “There was an increase, so they are saying therefore that the machines did not function properly.
