MANILA,
Philippines -- The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has

COMELEC,
PPCRV see peaceful ARMM elections
The uncertainty of using new automated voting and counting machines,
the discovery by the Senate Electoral Tribunal of fake ballots in
many precincts in Maguindanao in the 2007 elections and recently the
kidnapping of journalists in Sulu - these are only some of the concerns
faced by the Commission on Elections (Comelec) and election watchdog
Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) before the
Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) elections on August 11.
