“Please let the people vote, if they are not creating troubles here, allow them to vote,” Hataman said to police officers securing the school.

“Ang pagboto ay karapatan ng sinuman, wag nating isakripisyo ang ating uniporme at sirain ang imahe ng [Voting is the right of everyon; let us not sacrifice our uniform and destroy the image of the] PNP (Philippine National Police),” Hataman added.

During a brief conversation, Hataman told the soldiers that what the document given them was only a request for transfer of the voting center, which the Comelec did not approve.

Hataman worried that there could be some “conspiracy” to have the balloting venue transferred in order to have someone control the flow of people going there.
