As of 6 PM today, the quick count of NAMFREL, the accredited quick count body of the COMELEC had tallied 69% of the 224,748 Philippine precincts used in the last May 14 Local Elections. At that mark, Cong. Juan Miguel Zubiri failed to make it to the top 12 amassed votes for those running for Senator. This is despite the fact that with surveys conducted prior to the elections he was shown to have made the Magic 12.
The Distinguished Gentleman from the 3rd District of Bukidnon is the son of the Gov of Bukidnon and is known as the “Father” of the Philippine Biofuel’s Act of 2006 in Congress. At this stage in his political career he threw his hat in the race for the Philippine Senate. The first few weeks of the quick count he was tallied to be on the lower 6 of the 12 man Senate race but had started to slip. With the way its going now, he will need a Miracle to pull him through and hopefully hit the last slot.
Go Go Go Mr. Biofuels!
