“We don’t have any information on that…We have not heard of any reports, implicating any Armed Forces personnel in any cheating exercise or any fraud in the elections,' Rodriguez told defense reporters in a phone patch interview.
The interview was made after suspended Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARRM)Gov. Zaldy Ampatuan was reported to have said that the 2007 senatorial and local elections in the province was rigged in favor of then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and here candidates.
Ampatuan, a principal suspect in the November 2009 Maguindanao massacre, did not specify military involvement in the alleged cheating, but said that Arroyo and her husband, Jose Miguel Arroyo, met with his father, then Maguindanao Gov. Andal Ampatuan Sr. — also a principal suspect in the massacre case — on how to rig the 2007 elections in the ARRM."
