And the correct use of the passive voice isn't all that rare even in journalism, which is the ultimate redoubt of the active voice. More sensible, more logical passive voice construction: "The evidence in the Manila electioneering case was falsified by the complainants." An even more compelling reason for using the passive voice has little to do with grammar but more with the art of communication itself. There's no need to rub it in by flagrantly using the active voice. The choice between the active voice and the passive voice, then, isn't just a matter of grammar.
