Philippine elections have always been acrimonious, with widespread cheating related to the fact that poorly paid officials tally tens of millions of votes by hand.
At this early date, the outcome of the mid-2004 election is unpredictable, and poll results in the Philippines are unreliable, contradictory, and subject to number-fudging depending on who paid for a particular survey.

The United States informed the House and Senate of its position that the role of the Comptroller General under the Act is unconstitutional, and the Comptroller General, the Senate, and the Speaker and Bipartisan Leadership Group of the House intervened as defendants in both actions to support the constitutionality of the Act (J.A. 30–32).
Although the Comptroller General is to have “due regard for the data, assumptions, and methodologies used” by the Directors (§ 251 (b) (1)), he is to undertake an independent analysis and is free to reach conclusions different from those of OMB and CBO.
Thus, once the Comptroller General completes his tasks of rendering economic and fiscal forecasts, and applying the law as he interprets it to all non–exempt accounts, his conclusions are binding upon and constitute, in substance, a directive to the President on which compliance with the Act throughout the Executive Branch is based.

The criticism of Marcos grew directly from the dishonesty of the 1969 campaign and his failure to curb the bribery and corruption in government.
There was also a more general discontent because the population continued to grow faster than the economy causing greater poverty and violence.
With civil rights and the Philippine Congress suspended and his enemies in detention, Marcos brought in a new constitution in 1973 that replaced the Congress with a National Assembly and extended the term of the President to six years with no limit on the number of terms.
