A post lambasting GMA News for publishing the article about the more than 100 academicians and Data Scientists who opposed the V-shaped Contreras-Yap analysis has been making the rounds online.

In a Facebook post shared 75 times as of Wednesday morning, Ma. Victoria V. Ferro castigated GMA News for publishing an article about the 100 Academicians and Statisticians who have said that “there was nothing irregular with the V-shaped graph that showed how the number of Senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s transmitted votes went down just as those of Camarines Sur Representative Leni Robredo went up less than 24 hours after the elections on May 9.”
In the open letter, the netizen who was trained to analyze the movement of stock prices and the likes, called GMA News “irresponsible and stupid.”
You may read the OPEN LETTER to GMA News below.
Dear GMA Network,
Why are you publishing stories that are COMPLETE GARBAGE? For one thing, you have not substantiated this story by listing the over 100 Academicians or Data Scientists who are discrediting the YAP-CONTRERAS analysis. What’s wrong with them? Are they a bunch of COWARDS? What are their names, pray tell? What are their QUALIFICATIONS? Dr. Contreras and David Yap are courageous enough to actually give their names. Please reveal the names of these 100 jokers? These supposed data scientists, if they even exist, must be REALLY STUPID. They must really be the HEIGHT of STUPID. Because even I who have a graduate business background know that when you plot points on a graph to show movement of stock prices, or gains and losses over time, or of percentage ROI over time, when we are counting discrete units that are dependent on human behavior, we do not see straight lines.
In the analysis of Contreras-Yap, we see not just 1 straight line but two shaped in an inverted V! Don’t you know that the SECOND BIGGEST FINANCIAL FRAUD in history perpetrated by Bernie Madoff was tipped off because of a straight line? Bernie Madoff got caught because he made the stupid mistake of publishing ROI reports with totally straight lines. This is an impossibility. Straight lines in this instance and in the very case that Contreras-Yap describes shows something in the count is FAKE or MADE UP or PROGRAMMED.
I dare these people to list their names and explain WHY is it that very strange inverted V pattern only occurs in the Marcos-Robredo pairing and not with any other pairing within the VP candidate roster. If not one of these people can explain it, then THEY ARE THE FRAUDS! BTW, how come they keep harping on this inverted V analysis only, when there are other anomalies that have been brought up such as the ridiculous number of UNDERVOTES, the very strange behavior of transmissions over time, and the statistically impossible numbers in Basilan, the ARMM, Region 8, etc…
Can these over 100 stupid cowards explain these all happening at the same time, and why the strange behavior occurred AFTER the hashcode was introduced? Sinong linoloko ninyo? IT DOESN’T TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST. You are irresponsible to publish this, and yes STUPID!
The original author edited the last portion of her post and replaced it with the following lines:
Moreover, I find it suspect that 100+ “data scientists” came to the same exact conclusion. Sounds like major GROUPTHINK which is antithetical to TRUE SCIENCE.
What are your thoughts on this?
Good job.They think that nobody knew the stupidity they had done. They want Filipinos to look like dumb and stupid. We have brilliant minds like you and its a nationwide cheating and they insist that no irregularities and cheating done. What kind of government do we have Simply Bulok na gobyerno.
Kaya nga mga kababayan panahon na para makialam tayo, at hwag ng pa loloko sa mga panloloko ng mga DILAW! O kaya LP, ang pag bebenta nila sa mga bahagi ng maharlikang lupain ay tuwirang pagtataksil sa bansa. Dahil sa pagtataksil nila dapat ay maparusahan sila. Hwag na nating hintayin pa na lubosan na tayong mawalan ng lupa tsaka tayo kikilos? Ngayon na mga kababayan.
Akala siguro nila may effect yong mga subliminal messages nila sa sambayanan. Filipinos are now aware and awake. Mai
kulong lang natin sila lahat, the future of our country is bright.
true, it is time for the Filipinos to protest now and let them know that we’re not stupid and we know they cheated big time it is a matter of time the time of change has began..
I appreciate your courage to stand up against a giant. I wish more people in the Phil would be like you who is not afraid to voice out the truth. God bless you.
You are more than correct, one other thing is that Smartmatic can not be checked up, you are not allowed to do a background check on the company or people, another funny crazy thing is that they have more than 1 source code in the VCM machines in 2010 election the VCM or PCOS had 3 source codes and only 1 could be investigated, the other 2 is top secret code, how about the servers here, to be able to receive files from the VCM machines it MUST be the same hashcode and MD5 checksum, if they are different the system reject the files, so how do we know it?, they have fooled many countries with fraud, there is a video about it on infowars website, i have worked many years for a company called Juniper network and i was working with bank security in Europe so i can tell the fools or IT experts what its all about, there has been change in the source code thats it, and when you do you cant even trace it because the system was build by smartmatic people, so guys find the best hacker and programmer in the country and let him lose in the system and servers and ca nbet he will find it, and the VCM was rigged too, a blank vote NEVER become Robredo and Roxas thats it, ask yourself how to prove it now, i only see one solution now and its a MANUAL RECOUNT and thats it !!!, Thank you for a wonderful open letter and i honor you for sure to be so brave, i live here in the country but its hard to fight alone, we need to join in this concern and fight the Smartmatic and media so they learn a lesson and we will never accept there lies again !!!!!
Every body must unite in solving this election deceit once and for all, or there should be no more elections as it is hypocrisy to have one where true results are not being recognized anyway.

Only a Marcos fanatic can say this. Bong will only lose if cheated. This has been his line during the campaign period. Look back on your history i.e. Snap election, the walkout of computer technicians manning the counting machines due to pressure from a Col. to change the true results.
only a yellow fanatic can say this. are you blind or a total idiot? the walk out you are talking about? bull shit. it was staged.
akala k pa nman ang gma7 hndi bias yun pala ktulad dn cla ng abs-cbn, maging matuwid nman kau s pgbabalita kc tatak n ng gma7 ang walang kinikilingan pawang katotohanan lamang, yun pala!!! ewan k s inyo wala n tlga kaming mpagkakatiwalaan at ngbabalita ng katotohanan, Tv5 n lng yta at INC news n lng kmi
Dream on if you think that walkout was staged, it fired up EDSA revolution, moron. Ma. Victoria Ferro talks big and great without a degree, she will be hailed as a Valedictorian to her Marcos cohorts, but at the end of the day . it always boils to senseless talk, for BBM does not know you and he goes home with his Billions that you never get to share and you die hard protecting him unless you are a troll paid to do his bidding. If at your age you did not know how the Marcoses pillage my country for 20 years not yours for you believe in him, then you have a bankrupt mind. Tell that to the mothers who lost their son and daughters and even brothers and fathers. and you are an idiot Ma. Victoria Ferro to compare an election data tabulation to a BERNIE MADOFF financial scam.
and finally look back what happened when Martial law was proclaimed in this list below in just one day. and in 20 years when you have placed it in the cudgels of one man Ferdinand Marcos and his family and his fake medals. and the 3,270 who died during Martial Law.
Here’s a look back, by the numbers, at the day when Marcos proclaimed martial law 43 years ago based on the infographic from the Official Gazette.
7: Public utilities were closed including the Manila Electric Company, Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company, National Waterworks and Sewerage Authority, Philippine National Railway, Philippine Airlines, Air Manila, and Filipinas Orient Airways.
292: Radio stations were closed all over the country
66: Community newspapers were closed
11: English weekly magazines were closed
7: Major English dailies were closed
7: Television stations were closed
4: Chinese dailies were closed
3: Filipino dailies were closed
1: English-Filipino daily was closed
1: Spanish daily was closed
But…
3: Media outlets were exempt from martial law – newspaper Daily Express; television station TV Channel 9 and radio station Kanlaon Broadcasting System.
Around 60,000: estimated personnel from the Armed Forces of the Philippines were alerted.
25,000: of which were from the Philippine Constabulary
17,600: Estimated strength of the Philippine Army
9,000: Estimated strength of the Philippine Air Force
8,000: Estimated strength of the Philippine Navy
4: Senators were arrested which include Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr., Jose “Pepe” Diokno, Ramon Mitra Jr. and Francisco “Soc” Rodrigo.
Approximately 8,000: Individuals were also arrested. Among these are the 1971 Constitutional Convention delegates, journalists, students, labor leaders and a few members of the elite families.
12: Iglesia Ni Cristo security guards were killed.
All of these numbers happened in one day according to reports.
Bakit ba hangang ngayon nakaraan pa din binabanggit mo
Activista ka din ba noon?Bakit nakikita mo ba ugali pinagtatangol mo?Ilang taon kana ba at gaano mo kakilala magkabilang kampo o isa ka lang sipsip .Ito lang masasabi ko ang kasalanan ng nakararaan wala kinalaman BBM jan.
ako buhay na ko nong Martial law wag mo bilugin mga ulo namin maganda buhay non kay Marcos.
At totoong Bias ang GMA nitong huli kya nakakasama ng loob.
Get your facts straight the killings are all just black propagandas .. Asked me who is mg source ? One of the leader of the leftist themselves balweg and victor corpuz ,, confessed that it wasnt marcos who advocates the killings but the npa communist whi disguised themselves as soldiers put the blamed on marcos.. And now these medias were closed down. Because they are not serving the interest of the people .rather the interese of the oligarch .. Just likewhat they are doing now… … These reports you are presenting were simply part of the manipulated history the real stort was hidden to the people and dont u ever ever insist … You keep on citing those instances yet you dont see how progressive philippines is during marcos time .. And it was only destroyed by the one you siding on … For personal vested interest … Look at philippines now … Is this the philippines that you want or the philippines during marcos wherein prices of commodities are cheap and really affordable … Ghe budgets of governments including borrowings were used for what it purported to be … And yet you accused him of murdered and corrupt … Comparing the national budget and borrowings to that of the infrastructure expenditures and assistance to civilians ? How dare you to say that you kept prosecuting marcose for only 28b borrowings … Wherein he spent hundred of billions for infrastructure projects ? The bataan nuclea ower plant alone cost 1/4 of the borrowings … How many power plants were made during his time
How many roads and bridges which stands and usable until now because it was quality made ?
How many state universities were built
How many special hospitals? And yet you keep on persecuting him as corrupt ?
Why dont you persecute aquino your idol
For borrowing 4 trillion dollars an amount more than a 100 folds compared to marcos …
Did aquino improved the NAIAA built under marcos regime
Did aquino even improve the fabella or pgh , the lung center the kidney center instead he intend to privatized it
Did he even improved some of the universities built by marcos like pup ?
They arecthe very reason why our country is sick , our country is suffering because personal vendetta
For what for the assasination of ninoy ? And blaming again marcoses ?
Or just a staged assasination to get the symphaty of the people to go against marcos and give birth to an edsa .. Which was never a tru power of revolution since it doesnt represents majority of the filipinos …
The bias media only shows lies .. Thanks to other media like foreign media there was really a people power in favor of marcos but the bias media owned by lopezes never published it
Why
Who are lopezes anyway an aquino cronies and just like what they are doing now to Duterte … Favoring again the vested interest of the oligarch …
Go on and idolize your hero, there is no stopping you. I myself would do the same. Corruption wise panalo na Ang idol mo uncluding treason and massacre. Ask an ordinary citizen whose existence depends on his /her own without leaning to the government- they would definitely say Marcos is the lesser evil. But for me Marcos is still the best.
That was “according to reports”. There were killings in INC radio station because they did not comply with the law. Majority who died on that incident was Philppine Constabulary (PC). Under Martial Law media and publications are all subject for approval due to black propaganda by the Commies. Now, tell me if there’s no treat in our country during those times, why Joma Sison, Dante Buscayno and the rest of Reds who are still alive bragging the teachings of Communism? Meralco, ABS-CBN, PLDT and NAWASA including Manila Chronicle was owned by the Lopez’s. Genny Lopez along with Sen. Osmena was suspect of financing group that will assassinate the first family. It was a long story and can’t you see how arrogant ABS-CBN together with their personalities? Tell me the ill effect of Martial Law and I let you know how good it was for the country
NAMFREL walked out because clearly Marcos won the snap election.
I was a NAMFREL Volunteer in Cebu, Imelda Marcos called 4 times to stop the counting, for Cory was leading ahead and on her 4th call it was patch to the Public address speakers and she was very furious. Pablo read the books about EDSA revolution. don’t wallow in ignorance and stupidity.
Then i am a PPCRV ,Namfrel And Comelec Watchers.
Kayo di makapagmove on namamatay na mga tao sa hirap puro kyo Martial law. mga bwisit kyo ayaw nyo pagbabago.
Kilalanin mo pinagtatangol mo dina si Ninoy yan anak nya abnoy yan At dina din si FM yan Bongbong yan.
Nakakairita kyo.
“Only a Marcos hater can come up with a comment like yours” – see? it goes both ways. Marcos was leading in the exit polls so you cannot fault him to question the unofficial result especially with all the evidence of tampering and irregularities.
Sheeezeeeee!!!
only a yellowtard fanatic can say this…go on kiss Bautista ass!!..
idiot netizen. the 104 signatories, together with their respective qualifications, are mentioned in the document. Yes, the netizen is the one glaringly irresponsible and stupid.
These 104 signatories only focused on debunking the V-pattern, which they never debunked in the first place. Its a legit question: if the inverted V-pattern is a common occurence, why did it only occur between Marcos-Rebredo? Now these 104 should try to explain that!
If you bothered to follow the FB thread of their discussions, one of them showed that the V-pattern was also evident in the Drillon-Villanueva senate results.
And yes, I agree with Red, they are not anonymous cowards. Their names are published.
Very good Ms Ferro, these media giants, like GMA seem to think that ordinary people like me can be fooled by their bias reporting. Thank you Ms Ferro for putting up, you represent the silent but learned majority.
I understand the passion that people have in defending their candidate. But let’s be real. Most of those academics and statisticians who made ad hominem attacks against Prof. Contreras and Yap are also blatantly anti-Marcos. This is not about how many academics believe there was no cheating but on the strength of the argument. In fact, the results of statistical analysis from pro and anti-Robredo camps are actually INCONCLUSIVE- It may or may not indicate electoral fraud. What people seem to forget is that the bailiwick hypothesis ASSUMES that the number of votes being transmitted after the script change are trustworthy. While it might be interesting to see if this bailiwick hypothesis also held true for Drilon-Villanueva and Roxas-Poe pairings, unless we can verify that the numbers were not tampered with through a forensic investigation, then not much can be said about the geographical behavior of these votes. The reversed trend of Marcos’ lead AFTER the ILLEGAL script change, coupled with reports of discarded SD cards in Kabankalan, the mystery of the Novotel incident, and now IT personnel in Sta. Rosa “configuring” servers are probable causes that warrant an independent audit of the automated election system. I am surprised that COMELEC continues to stonewall not just Marcos but other election watchdogs.
Exactly! If Andy Bautista is not hiding anything, why not allow an independent audit? Commissioner Guanzon is fine with it!
I just sincerely hope that after assuming his presidency on June 30, President R. Duterte order a manual recount of all the votes for senators and vice president. afterwards, jail andres bautista and cohorts for life for election sabotage.
HAY NAKU GMA 7 PA NAMAN KAYO AKALA NAMIN ANG BIAS DITO ABS CBN KAYO DIN PALA, CGE NGA DISPPROVE THAT ALL THE HOKUS POKUS OF THE ELECTION HAPPENS ONLY AFTER THE HASH CODE IS INTRODUCED. SAAN ANG MGA PANGALAN NG 100 IDIOTS ACADEMICIANS BY THE WAY? IHARAP NYO SILA SA DALAWANG BAYANING ACADEMICIANS NA SINA PROF DAVID YAP AND PROF ANTONIO CONTRERAS NG MABALATAN ANG KAHIPOKROTUHAN NG 100 ACADEMICIANS NA SINASABI NIYO, A PERSON IS MORE IDIOT WHO BELIEVE TO AN IDIOT, I HOPE YOU ARE NOT IDIOTS GMA7
These so-called academicians are cowards! Can’t even reveal their names! Because of this, there are more people admiring Prof. Antonio Contreras and Prof. David Yap. These two are not even supporters of Bobgbong Marcos but are brave enough to voice their analysis for the sake of truthfulness. Those so-called academicians who were bashing them are devoid of decency and integrity! Why? Obvious fraud and cheating are fine with them because the one affected is a Marcos! It’s not anymore about Marcos and Robredo but about the sanctity of the Filipino votes as a whole! Enough of this great hateful divide perpetrated by the yellow army!
Very well said Ms Ferro, thank you for your courageous act II’m not a mathematician but I agree with the Yap and Contreras analysis. I did my own analysis too and was wondering why the difference in number of votes coming in showed almost the same. So I concluded immediately that they have manipulated the votes – no doubt.
Agree… Once trends dramatically went down or up, it is not OK. Serious review is needed.
Malaking tulong Ang social media to educate our fellows.. Hindi tulad dati n Kung ano Lang Ang sasabihin s radio at TV, ang mababasa sa pahayagan yan mostly Ang paniniwalaan.
Hi, thanks for publishing my social media post. Clearly I was angry when I wrote the piece. I have since toned down my language to make aspersions on the analysis and not on humans. You can check my page again to see the latest version which has added information. Again I just want to say my diatribe is not personal to any human being but only to the work and to the way GMA covered the story.
You need not apologize. U said your piece very well. Thank you for your vigilance.
Well explained and I agree to the content of your letter .
if you would only check the link of the article published, you would see a link that contains the names of those signatories 🙂 it does not take to know ROCKET SCIENCE to actually read the article in its entirety…if we really want to gain recognition as a nation, we should notnhave double standards and selective judgement..just saying
hay naku., dinadaan na lang sa pagalingan ng English..hehehehe pero ang katotohanan eh, may dayaan talaga mula noong umpisa pa lamang…marami na ang nagpapatunay pero walang nakikinig at di pinapansin, halata naman eh., kaso mga manhid. nawawa na ang mga dignidad nila basta makaupo lang. Makikita mo rito na hindi ang magserbisyo sa tao ang pakay kundi ang kapangyarihan at karangyaan. Magaling lang silang mangako at ibebenta nila ang kanilang kaluluwa manalo lang…Minsan pera pera lang yan. even the media kung sino yong nakaupo siyempre doon sila, Money talks………
Panong makikinig eh pinsan ninoy ugn pinuno ng comelec at former pcgg chairman na sialng gumigipit sa marcoses .. Hindi na need maging matalino ng tao para maintindihan yan
kapamilya ka siguro??? FUCK OFF BITCH!
clearly this is journalism at its finest. Naalala ko tuloy noong nagkasunog sa Ricarte, UP Campus. Sabi sa balita mayroong 1,000 families ang naapektuhan dahil sa sunog. Pero in reality there are about 100 houses affected. Ano yun? Mayroong 10 families sa bawat bahay? Journalism at its best. Kapag hindi exaggerated, hindi enticing.
…bakit kasi hindi na lang ninyo hinanap ang mga taong sinasabi nilang nakapirma “daw”. GMA7, mas magiging concrete ang balita nyo kung may nakausap kayo sa mga taong nagpakilala na kabilang sa mga academicians na ito!… iyan tuloy. Mababansagan na ang mga balita nyo ay pang-Startalk lang. Chizmax lang ang peg! Sino ba editor ng news na ito?… hayz! -pananaw ko lang po!
Be that as it may na mayroong dayaang nangyare last election, still, the proper way to file an election protest is through the Electoral Tribunal, which would require a mandatory proclamation of the winning candidates before the ball rolls. So if BBM was the offended party, he should file his protest, the proper way, hindi yung he’ll undermine the COMELEC’s integrity by accusing it of fraud.
I believe, what goes around comes around… and the ghost of blatant electoral manipulation and cheating haunts those prior involved…
Apparently Smartmatic would not open a server or their machines to prove an irregularities. Unless the stability of the country is eminent !
Perhaps, people should revisit to the Hugo Chavez referendum of 2004!
Chavez and Smartmatic rigged the votes…MIT and Harvard officials came in and proved that there were cheating! They did what Mr. Contreras and Mr. Yap did! They found out there were switching and and manipulation via remote system!
What would the Duterte government and the Filipino people do with these biased and unreliable TV networks????

Kaya ngaun wag bastabasta maniniwala sa balita sa tv mag search din tau paminsan minsan kc ang midia ngaun nabibigyan narin ng lugaw laki talaga ng tulong ng fb salamat nalang namulat kami sa katutuhanan.
Sa nag send ng open letter. Sana naiintindihan mo na nasa demokratikong bansa tayo pwede natin ihayag kung ano ang nasa kalooban natin. Komo ba di pumabor sa kandidato natin eh sasabihin natin na bias na ang network. Kung susuriin mo di nanggaling sa gma network ang komento galing mismo sa academian at it expert at kamila lamg ibinalita. Kung palaging pabor lang kay marcos o robredo ang balita dyan mo pwedeng sabihin na bias ang network or ini-edit nila ang video. Gusto mo kasi maging pabor sa manok mo ang ibabalita ng network. Sana magising ka na nasa demokratikong bansa tayo. Kung talagang nadaya ipakita ng it expert ni bbm kung panu pedeng ma tamper ang bilangan ng sa gayun malinawan ang taong bayan. Hindi puri bintang, nakakapagod na magbasa na tuwing may natatalong kandidato nadadaya. Eh samantalang gawain nila yan nung mamual pa ang bilangan. Kung ipinanganak ka na nung nag snap election na kung saan mahigit 20 or 30 na encoder ng ama ang nag walk out dahil sa pamimilit na i encode ang maling datos panig kay marcos. Yan ang tunay na pandaraya kasi may nag walk out.
di mo ata na intindihan salitang fair news…. paki search sa google para maintihan mo
Si marcos ag totoong nanalo even after recount …
Boycott ko na ang gma 7. Tutal masyado n clang commercialized. Wala na rin ung “for the glory of God” nila. napakaingay at overacting pa mga newscaster nila. Mag sama n cla ng chanel 2 sa tuwid n daan patungong bangin!
Very good analysis comparing with the greatest stock market fraud. This is the great election fraud where 100 data scientist is involve without any one reference name please do not fool pinoys we know better than the news you are feeding us. Beware there are other news sources compared 20 years ago….
Now… We could deduce that God really works in mysterious ways. That justice was done this election . That lessons are learned and relearned. That Bam and Koko are great campaign managers… Grabeee… That candidates were used …. That election campaign funds were spent while some may have not been spent or kept somewhere else..and that… It was in general a peaceful, honest and orderly elections…
Freedom of speech is a right. I also agree that the sins of the father are not the sins of the son. But what does the son do when he is the beneficiary of ill gotten wealth? The results are in. Let us respect the results.
Hindi nyo ba maintindihan to ?
Pinsan ko si bautista ,, – whre is the independence there ,, is he credible ?
former chairman ng pcgg ..
At gagawin ko ang lahat wag lng makabalik ang marcos sa malacaniang ..
Simple di ba kya pla todo snob na lng sa mga evidence si chairman bautista ?
My comment is this, very logic bat kailangan mag edit ng script para sa “ñ” e kung ang babasahin nang counting machine e yung shaded circle!
para sa pagbabago wag na natin iloklok yong mga may issue ng katiwalian at miembro ng ganid dynasty bakit ipipilit nyo si marcos ? si Leni ang binoto namin hindi si bobong
pag babago? cancer na ata sakit ng utak mo…. saan partido galing si line… sino ang kasalukuyang namumuno….
The PCOS machine can not cheat, garbage in- garbage out.
The people behind the ” machines” could!
I know from the start that GMA 7 News doesn’t like other candidates except Liberal Party. They are known as BIAS station.Where are your conscience?On the day of counting, there were so many errors but you’re blinded by truth.So,I decided to stop watching GMA 7. Good bye.
