Who is Garci?...

     
 
Garci 1
 
     
  Many people think "Garci" is Virgilio Garcillano, a commissioner at the Commission on Elections. He has quite a record. Columnist Max Soliven claims that when Garcillano was in high school in 1953, he was accused of rigging the elections so that he became class president. There's no record on whether or not he failed mathematics, which would have made it clear he was DESTINED to become an election commissioner. During Martial Law he was involved with several rotten elections held under our dearly beloved dictator Ferdinand Marcos. You think we're making this up, aren't you? Anyway, while there are strong grounds for believing THIS is the Garci who's the phone pal of "Ma'am", we believe we shouldn't be in a hurry to rule out other possibilities.
