Taluksangay is under the control of the Nuños which Lilia, one of its powerful members won the congressional race in District II. Villano himself observed voting at the five clustered precincts of Taluksangay. He immediately noticed that almost all voters, whether they appeared to have a disability or not, were helped by a small group of people stationed inside the precinct. When Villalon asked election officers about them, he was told they were “liners” there to assist PWDs. LENTE records show that 80 to 90 percent of all who voted were assisted. Villano thinks that the people assisted might have been illiterate rather than PWDs. “I asked them in both Tagalog and in the native dialect Tausug and they understood. I asked them who they want to vote for and they pointed at the names.” When he asked the voters how they were related to the “liners,” they replied, “Sila ang magvo-vote para sa amin (They were the ones who voted for us).” When Villano told the election officers that this was illegal, the Board of Election Inspectors replied that she cannot assist the voters herself because she is "busy". Despite its small voting population, Taluksangay was a point of contention during the campaign period. Jomar Lobregat's party, Adelante Zamboanga, claims that they were not allowed to post their materials in there. In a news item in Zamboanga Times on April 14, Adelante Zamboanga team coordinator Rudy Lim said that when he asked Taluksangay barangay chairman Abdurahman Nuño if they can conduct a meeting in Taluksangay, Nuño replied, “No deal."http://www.zamboangatimes.ph/top-news/7290-kit-barrredo-confirms-no-entry-for-t-pnoy-in-taluksangay-.html Kit Barredo confirms no entry for T-PNoy in Taluksangay PA Zamboanga Today Online April 24, 2013 May 26, 2013 Abdurahman Nuño is the husband of Lilia and sits on the city council ex-officio and is president of the Association of Barangay Captains.http://ph.news.yahoo.com/blogs/tinig-ng-botante/voting-assistors-helping-pwds-manipulating-votes-031208886.html Voting assistors: Helping PWDs or manipulating votes?
