Here we go again… our senators have already ordained or even "convicted" Comelec officials for fraud for entering into this contract, a matter within the province of the judiciary. Let me make it clear to you that only a court of law can declare a contract anomalous or fraudulent and that is something someone has to prove in our courts.
