a couple years ago the Philippines ordered a lot of voting machines to make sure elecctions were not stolen (in the Hello Garci scandal, the phone call was rumored to be about finding enough ballots in the back room).
There were some irregularities with the machines, and technical problems, so they are back to paper ballots.
But the money shennanigans is being investigated and yes there is a Venezuelan link to the scandal.
I sort of remember that Venezuela part being called a conspiracy theory in Arizona but I didn't keep up with these scandals and will post links later.
But Duterte won with enough votes by ordinary folk tired of the drug gangs terrorizing them and selling drugs to their kids that they could not steal the election (Marion Santiago quipped the election was between the communist and the Yank, a FilAm who lived near CIA headquarters in the USA) but since our president and VicePresident are eleccted separatly, Marcos lost the VP post to Robrero, a lovely lady whose husband was killed in a plane crash and a true populist leader.
But Marcos is now trying to get justice/
Don't ask me. A lot of this was going on when Lolo was dying.
and this video is 14 years old about why a poor country paid a lot of money for the machines:

hmm.. .remember when Smartmatic sued Mayor Guiliami and Fox News?
Nothing to see here folk just move along
