Noynoy: Our hard-earned victory was won within the boundaries of law

We applaud and support the cause of the groups and individuals that make up Pera't Pulitika. However, we would like to caution them against wrongly besmirching the reputation of those who share their advocacies.

In May 2007, we mounted a successful campaign on - compared to other candidates - a relatively modest budget. After the elections, we reported our campaign expenditures truthfully and accurately - something we believe not all candidates endeavored to do.

We firmly believe that our hard-earned victory was won within the boundaries of law.

Our records, which we have dutifully and faithfully kept and maintained, are open to all interested members of Pera't Pulitika. We invite them to compare and contrast their data and analysis with our accounts in order to verify their accuracy.

We only hope, in turn, that they will correct the erroneous statements they have issued, in the interest of our shared goals of transparency and accountability. We remind the convenors of Pera't Pulitika that the push for genuine reforms in campaign and election policy should be based on facts, not carelessly drawn conclusions.
