A co-accused in the electoral sabotage case filed against former Commission on Elections (Comelec) chairman Benjamin Abalos admitted yesterday that she was forced to sign and later submitted fake documents to the National Board of Canvassers (NBOC) during the 2007 midterm election.
Lawyer Yogie Martirizar, former chairman of the North Cotabato board of canvassers, testified during the bail hearing of Abalos at the Pasay City Regional Trial Court (RTC) that three unidentified armed men barged into her office on May 20, 2007 and seized the certificate of votes and certificates of canvass and forced her to sign another set of election documents containing results of votes of senatorial candidates for North Cotabato.
