Elections 2016

This is the partial and unofficial results for the 2016 elections for vice president one of the reporter on the screen said, everyone on the room turned their heads now focusing their attention to the screen.

They watched as the number went up and up until Bongbong was first.

"The numbers showed on the screen would be the last counting for tonight.
Once again this is the 2016 elections special coverage i'm Pia Hontiveros"

"Congrats Sir BBM" everyone in the room applauded.

"Thank you.Words cannot express my deepest gratitude and appreciation to everyone one of you. If it weren't for you, it wouldn't be possible. Hindi lang ako ang nanalo kung hindi kayo din. Congratulations to everyone" Bongbong said as he bowed his head a little bit as a sign of respect with his last statement.

"Since it's almost 4am na everyone can go home and get some rest kasi today was a hectic one and again, thank you" he added.

It was now the next day and he arrived at the headquarters with a cheerful mood but all was changed into a confused one as Vic his spokeperson frantically rushed towards him.

"Sir, something came up"

"Ano yon?" his brows furrowed

"It's better to see for yourself" he timidly replied and both of them made their way into main room.

This is the partial official tally for Vice President as of 12:06 PM. Starting from Cayetano with 5,880,159, Escudero with 4,884,083, Honasan with 779,050, Marcos with 14,071,171, Robredo 14,300,819, and lastly Trillianes with 861,960

As Bongbong heard the results the cheerful yet confused mood turned into a mix feeling of dismay, and disappointment but if that's the people want there's nothing he can't do.

His phone suddenly rang, he checked the caller. It was his Mother and quickly answered.

"Hello Ma"

"Bong, have you seen the results?! You're losing to Robredo which is unexpected. If you can't find a way to win then find a way to drag her name in the mud"

He paused for a moment. Personally he doesn't want to do this but because his mother told him, he has to, for the sake of his family's name, even if it means an innocent person's reputation would be jeopardize especially that person is Leni.

Yes, she is his number one rival when it comes to politics, but something about her makes her special among the others out there. Something that makes him have second thoughts on what he's about to do which he never does. With a heavy heart he replied back.

"Okay Ma, I'll see what i can do"

"Great! I won't keep you long, Love you"

"Love you too" and ended the call placing his phone back into his pocket.

"Sir, what do we do next?" 

"Pa-recount natin. Just to make sure na hindi sila nandaya which i doubt, if wala naman kayong nakita, try to accuse her again and again for cheating just to ruin her reputation" he sternly uttered as his gaze still glued to the screen.
