| It is settled that a pre-proclamation controversy is summary in character;[42] indeed, it is the policy of the law that pre-proclamation controversies be promptly decided, so as not to delay canvass and proclamation.[43] The Board of Canvassers (BOC) will not look into allegations of irregularity that are not apparent on the face of ERs that appear otherwise authentic and duly accomplished.[44] | |||||

| While the summary nature of pre-proclamation controversies is intended to ensure that the canvass and proclamation be delayed as little as possible so as not to create a vacuum in elective positions,[17] in our view, the Board of Canvassers cannot close its eyes to patently dubious entries that would put a reasonable person on notice that something is wrong or irregular. | |||||

| Note that this petition stemmed from a pre-proclamation controversy where the proclamations of Israel and Jaberael were annulled due to an incomplete canvass.[14] A pre-proclamation controversy refers to any question pertaining to or affecting the proceedings of the board of canvassers which may be raised by any candidate or by any registered political party or coalition of political parties before the board or directly with the Commission, or any matter raised under Sections 233, 234, 235, and 236 of the Omnibus Election Code in relation to the preparation, transmission, receipt, custody and appreciation of election returns.[15] The proceedings are summary in nature in that there is no room for the presentation of evidence aliunde, the inspection of voluminous documents, and for meticulous technical examinations which take up considerable time.[16] | |||||
