Malacañang is confident that President Rodrigo Duterte has not benefited from an alleged fraud in the 2016 national elections. He made the statement after Sen. Vicente Sotto 3rd revealed that six national candidates benefited from the supposed cheating, including the President and the Vice President. “The President has said, while he’s the President, he will not allow any fraud during elections,” the Palace official added. Meanwhile, Roque was confident that Comelec’s probe of the alleged election fraud would be reliable. “[I am happy that the Comelec accepted the Palace’s dare, and it said it would investigate all the new information bared by Senator Sotto in the Senate],” Roque added.
