NoteDue to limited sources online (including copy of election results), only 1 citation was made (PhilStar news article titled: Peewee proclaimed in Pasay; written by Edu Punay on May 18, 2004). Another reason for limited source was because the election took place when news are commonly flashed in television, radios, and newspapers, and rarely in Internet. References
