70
00:04:58,690 --> 00:05:07,310

71
00:05:07,310 --> 00:05:15,510
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: will be assuming chairmanship by the month of October. That's actually a recognition, perhaps,

72
00:05:15,930 --> 00:05:21,550

76
00:05:41,010 --> 00:05:51,430

86
00:07:11,930 --> 00:07:18,830

87
00:07:18,830 --> 00:07:20,690
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Sinama pa po natin.

88
00:07:20,750 --> 00:07:29,170
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung budget para sa Comelec of about 6 billion, yung regular budget namin, 15 billion po yung tinanggal sa amin, sa NEP.

89
00:07:29,770 --> 00:07:37,670
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And that is so unfortunate because I'm going to explain with your kind permission, ano-ano po ba yung mga tinanggal na yun na maaari po maka-apekto.

90
00:07:38,170 --> 00:07:41,190
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi ko na po muna sasabing maka-apekto. Gamitin ko na lang po muna yung word.

91
00:07:41,650 --> 00:07:46,950
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: It may definitely affect the conduct of our election for 2028.

92
00:07:47,630 --> 00:07:48,070
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ito po yun.

93
00:07:49,270 --> 00:07:54,050
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Registered voters as projected by 2028 is more or less 74 million.

94
00:07:54,670 --> 00:07:56,090
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 74 million na po tayo.

95
00:07:56,450 --> 00:07:58,530
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Sa kasalukuyan, 71 million po tayo.

96
00:07:58,870 --> 00:08:02,470
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Nung pong 2028, 2025 election, 68 million.

97
00:08:03,050 --> 00:08:10,570
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And then because of our continuing registration, yung pinagkaabalahan talaga ng Comelec, tumaas po ito hanggang 71 million voters.

98
00:08:10,990 --> 00:08:18,390
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ngayon po, by 2028, we are projecting a 74 million number of registered voters.

99
00:08:18,390 --> 00:08:26,690
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pag po 74 million number of registered voters, ibig sabihin po, tataas ang bilang ng mga presinto ng ating pong bansa.

100
00:08:27,130 --> 00:08:37,450
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Nung nakarang election, we will readily admit, masyado pong mahaba ang pila, sapagkat kinakailangan kung ano po yung budget na nabigay sa amin, yun lang po ang perpwede naming ma-lease ng mga machines.

101
00:08:37,950 --> 00:08:40,730
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Umabot lang po kami ng 800 to 1,000 voters.

102
00:08:40,910 --> 00:08:41,870
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Try to imagine that.

103
00:08:41,870 --> 00:08:47,190
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Simply because we were just limited to 107,000 precincts nationwide.

104
00:08:47,790 --> 00:08:48,150
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Diyan po.

105
00:08:48,150 --> 00:08:53,610
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Halos 7,000 ang aming pong excess machines pang palit kung sakasakali.

106
00:08:54,010 --> 00:08:56,550
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And we have 101,000 precincts nationwide.

107
00:08:56,990 --> 00:08:58,090
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pero kulang na kulang po.

108
00:08:58,530 --> 00:09:04,830
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ngayon po, kung sakasakaling masusunod po yung binigay sa aming budget, nababawasan po kami ng 9 billion.

109
00:09:06,090 --> 00:09:10,730
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: With your kind permission, may I invite your attention sa ating pong screen.

110
00:09:11,330 --> 00:09:15,850
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Una pong binawasan sa amin, your honors, yung pong aming machines.

111
00:09:16,170 --> 00:09:17,470
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung ating pong machines.

112
00:09:17,470 --> 00:09:27,590
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: For the first time in the history of our country's automated election, simula po ng 2010, sa 2025 elections, hindi po tayo bumili ng machines.

113
00:09:27,690 --> 00:09:29,310
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Nag-list lang po tayo ng machines.

114
00:09:29,990 --> 00:09:39,570
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And because of the list of the machines, ang aming pong market scoping, market survey, dapat 155,000 pesos per machine.

115
00:09:39,570 --> 00:09:47,450
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: But doong lumabas po yung mismong procurement, lumalabas po 149,000 lamang ang naging offer sa amin.

116
00:09:47,470 --> 00:09:54,510
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So we were able to at least save 800 million pesos because of the list of machines.

117
00:09:55,010 --> 00:09:59,470
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pag po hindi tayo bumili ng machines, number one, hindi po tayo nagwe-warehouse.

118
00:09:59,870 --> 00:10:01,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Number two, hindi po tayo nag-upgrade.

119
00:10:02,590 --> 00:10:03,070
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Napaka-importante.

120
00:10:03,070 --> 00:10:06,830
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi rin po tayo nag-maintain ng ating mga makina.

121
00:10:06,990 --> 00:10:15,390
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Napaka-importante po yan because napaka-mahal po ng warehousing, ng maintenance, at saka po improvement of the machines.

122
00:10:15,390 --> 00:10:16,690
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So nag-list lang po tayo.

123
00:10:17,470 --> 00:10:29,590
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And after the 2025 election, one-time use, meaning after the 2025 elections, there will be a separate and a different provider by 2028 based on the new terms of reference.

124
00:10:30,070 --> 00:10:32,690
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kung kaya lang po, nakat po ng 1.5 billion.

125
00:10:33,290 --> 00:10:42,350
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ang 1.5 billion po is equivalent to more or less, short po kami, ng 9,000, your honors, 310 machines.

126
00:10:42,350 --> 00:10:46,590
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: As for a greater appreciation.

127
00:10:46,590 --> 00:10:52,030
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: We hope to be able to start the filing of the candidacies by next year.

129
00:10:57,090 --> 00:11:01,930
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ngayon po, we wanted to have the filing of the candidacy by September 20 to 27.

130
00:11:02,310 --> 00:11:03,790
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: More or less yung po yung filing natin.

131
00:11:04,170 --> 00:11:05,750
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Mas maaga ng ilang araw lang.

132
00:11:06,330 --> 00:11:06,830
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Bakit po?

133
00:11:07,470 --> 00:11:11,530
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Because we wanted to print the ballots by December of 2027.

134
00:11:12,270 --> 00:11:16,270
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung pong pinopropose sa amin, and I will explain later,

135
00:11:16,270 --> 00:11:22,110
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: gusto po nilang mangyari na 2028 na lang kami mag-print ng balota.

136
00:11:23,490 --> 00:11:32,850
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kaya po importante yung 2027 September because pag natapos po kami ng registration of voters likewise by September 30,

137
00:11:33,450 --> 00:11:40,490
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: we wanted to finalize the list of voters ng bawat distrito niyo po, we wanted to finalize by the month of November.

138
00:11:41,290 --> 00:11:43,150
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Dapat po nakapag-cleansing na kami.

139
00:11:43,290 --> 00:11:45,490
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Dapat po pumasok na yung mga petisyon for exclusivity.

140
00:11:46,270 --> 00:11:48,230
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Inclusion sa mga courts.

141
00:11:48,730 --> 00:11:52,430
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Dapat po malinis na ang list of voters natin by November of 2027.

142
00:11:52,730 --> 00:11:52,930
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Why?

143
00:11:53,410 --> 00:12:00,530
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Because we wanted to print the ballots by the second week or even kahit po Christmas time by third week of December.

144
00:12:01,250 --> 00:12:09,830
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Because we wanted to avoid what happened in 2026 na nag-filing po tayo ng candidacy no October 1 to 7.

145
00:12:10,530 --> 00:12:14,750
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Nag-hintay po kami kung ano ang aksyon sa mga dinisqualify namin.

146
00:12:14,990 --> 00:12:16,030
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Especially yung mga disqualify.

147
00:12:16,270 --> 00:12:18,110
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Diniclare namin NUISAN's candidates.

148
00:12:18,770 --> 00:12:27,510
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And we'd like to announce to you for 2025, wala po kami kahit isa na NUISAN's candidates.

149
00:12:27,910 --> 00:12:35,870
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: We were able to resolve the 153 NUISAN's cases all in all up to the NBank level by November 30.

150
00:12:36,450 --> 00:12:42,150
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Meaning to say, pagdating po ng 1st of December, handa na po kami sa list of voters.

151
00:12:42,870 --> 00:12:46,050
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pag po automated election, we have to print the names.

152
00:12:46,270 --> 00:12:48,850
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Of the candidates sa balota natin.

153
00:12:49,330 --> 00:12:53,770
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And therefore, we cannot afford an injunction, a restraining order from the Supreme Court.

154
00:12:54,230 --> 00:13:01,430
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: What happened in 2025 was that, second week of January, nag-print na po kami na more or less 6 million ballots.

155
00:13:02,170 --> 00:13:08,190
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Then, a restraining order was issued as against the Comelec in favor of one candidate for national position.

156
00:13:08,730 --> 00:13:10,550
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Wala po sanong problema kung local.

157
00:13:10,550 --> 00:13:12,590
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kasi hindi pa naman po kami nagsisimula.

158
00:13:13,150 --> 00:13:15,550
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Doon sa mga local positions na...

159
00:13:16,270 --> 00:13:17,710
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Na nakakuha ng restraining order.

160
00:13:18,150 --> 00:13:21,530
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pero sa national po, meron kasing nakakuha ng isang restraining order.

161
00:13:21,970 --> 00:13:23,410
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Then, we have to comply.

162
00:13:23,890 --> 00:13:29,090
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: We have to reprint anew the ballot so that the name of that candidate will have to be included.

163
00:13:29,730 --> 00:13:30,590
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Doon sa list.

164
00:13:30,610 --> 00:13:33,370
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So ngayon po gusto namin sana mas maaga tayo mag-file.

165
00:13:34,010 --> 00:13:37,350
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Para maaga po namin makumpleto ang list of candidates.

166
00:13:37,870 --> 00:13:40,750
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At the same time, makumpleto rin yung list of voters po natin.

167
00:13:40,750 --> 00:13:45,670
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So therefore, critical po ang 2027 sa preparation natin.

168
00:13:46,270 --> 00:13:49,890
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi po dapat pinagkakasya ang lahat sa 2028.

169
00:13:50,390 --> 00:13:53,070
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kasi po sa 2028, kung ang election natin is May,

170
00:13:53,990 --> 00:13:58,470
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: napakahira po na January, February, March, magpuprint ka ng balota.

171
00:13:58,550 --> 00:14:00,150
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pag may nagka-problema, you have to repeat.

172
00:14:00,530 --> 00:14:03,290
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And magkakakompromise yung printing natin ng balota.

173
00:14:03,690 --> 00:14:06,270
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So dito po sa makina namin, ang projection po namin,

174
00:14:06,270 --> 00:14:09,870
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa 1.51 billion,

175
00:14:10,910 --> 00:14:16,270
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung pong dapat na machines natin for 2028 election ay 124,000.

176
00:14:16,270 --> 00:14:24,570
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: But because of the cut of from 23 billion to 16, magiging 21.66,

177
00:14:25,070 --> 00:14:29,070
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 8,000 po more or less ang mawawalang machines sa Comelec.

178
00:14:29,590 --> 00:14:31,690
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pagka po hindi po naibalik sa amin yun,

179
00:14:32,070 --> 00:14:36,770
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: we will resort to likewise increasing the number of voters per precinct muli.

180
00:14:37,550 --> 00:14:40,930
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ang plano po sana ni Comelec, 600 voters lang per precinct.

181
00:14:41,590 --> 00:14:44,870
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Para po mas maliging maayos ang pagboto ng mga kababayan natin.

182
00:14:44,870 --> 00:14:45,990
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: But if not,

183
00:14:45,990 --> 00:14:49,690
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: the budget will not be restored, 800 to 1,000 pumuli.

184
00:14:49,690 --> 00:14:54,190
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So masisisi na naman po si Comelec bakit ganun kadami ang votante per precinct,

185
00:14:54,190 --> 00:14:56,390
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kahit yung mga nakatatanda may kapansanan,

186
00:14:56,390 --> 00:15:00,190
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: simply because what was given to us only was

187
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,920
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 21.66 billion, less than 1.51 billion.

188
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:15,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So ang sa amin po, ito po talaga ipinapakiusap namin na sana man lang makapag-list tayo ng 124,310 machines

189
00:15:15,500 --> 00:15:19,380
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sapagkat yung 10,000 po dyan ay contingency machines.

190
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,260
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: We need contingency machines.

191
00:15:21,260 --> 00:15:32,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: For the first time also in 2025, your honors, tayo po ay nagkaroon ng 10 machines bawat munisipyo as contingency.

192
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:37,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Nagkaroon din po tayo ng contingency machines sa lahat ng provincial offices of the commission.

193
00:15:37,900 --> 00:15:45,400
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Meaning to say, kung nagka-problema sa Cebu halimbawa na anuman po ang nangyari, naandyan lagi yung machine na pwede namin ipampalit.

194
00:15:45,500 --> 00:15:50,380
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Wala po tayong naging problema na major during the last election of 2025.

195
00:15:50,380 --> 00:15:55,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: That's why it's the fastest election in the history without sacrificing the credibility.

196
00:15:56,120 --> 00:16:04,680
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: In fact, ang ating po random manual audit resulted to a 99.999973% accuracy rating.

197
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:14,340
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And yung po ang pinakamataas so far na accuracy ng ating po machine versus the manual count of the ballot since 2010.

198
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,560
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung po next, your honors, if I may please invite your attention.

199
00:16:19,140 --> 00:16:20,260
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Na tinanggal po sa amin.

200
00:16:20,380 --> 00:16:22,400
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: E yung pong printing of ballots.

201
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ibig sabihin po, ang nire-request po namin is 3.2 billion.

202
00:16:28,020 --> 00:16:32,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 1.7 billion po dyan, your honors, ay printing ng official ballots.

203
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 1.7 to 1.8.

204
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,240
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At 800 million po ang ating voters information sheet.

205
00:16:38,540 --> 00:16:42,100
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yan po yung four pages na pinamamahagi natin sa lahat ng botante.

206
00:16:42,220 --> 00:16:43,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: That's 888 million pesos.

207
00:16:44,500 --> 00:16:48,580
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At pagkatapos po, magpiprint din kami ng pampaskil sa labas ng presinto na list of voters.

208
00:16:48,580 --> 00:16:50,180
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At yung mismo nasa loob.

209
00:16:50,380 --> 00:16:53,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Na list kung saan pumipirma yung mga botante natin.

210
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: That's why we asked for 3.2 billion.

211
00:16:55,900 --> 00:16:59,540
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Binigyan lang po kami, your honors, ng 348.

212
00:17:01,180 --> 00:17:01,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 348.

213
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:07,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ibig sabihin po, hindi po kami makakapagprint ng balota by 2027.

214
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:14,320
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Meaning po, kung ano man po yung kailangan printing, sa 2027 namin i-request for 2028 budget.

215
00:17:15,020 --> 00:17:19,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Therefore, makakapag-start lang po kami ng procurement, kahit po yan ay National Printing Office,

216
00:17:20,380 --> 00:17:25,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: still we have to conduct procurement process by January of 2028.

217
00:17:26,340 --> 00:17:28,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kahit pa nga po mag-early procurement, short of award kami.

218
00:17:29,340 --> 00:17:32,380
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Meaning, no printing can be done by Comelec.

219
00:17:32,380 --> 00:17:36,960
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kung binigyan po kami ng 348, ano lang po mapiprint namin doon?

220
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Siguro po mapiprint namin doon, list of voters.

221
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yun lang po mapiprint namin, but not the ballots.

222
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So, critical po na maiprepare na natin ang ballots by December,

223
00:17:47,500 --> 00:17:50,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: so that by February, tapos po ang printing ng balota natin.

224
00:17:50,380 --> 00:17:55,540
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Naka-standby na lahat, because at least final naman po yung list of candidates natin.

225
00:17:55,900 --> 00:18:00,640
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Even if may mga i-disqualify, whether by the Comelec or the Supreme Court, just the same,

226
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,600
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kung nakaprint na po yung pangalan ng kandidato, wala pong rights na mababayolate

227
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:10,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: because, just the same, madedeclare na lang ma-estray ang voto sa mga kandidato ngayon.

228
00:18:10,620 --> 00:18:17,340
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So, again, tinanggalan po kami ng more or less 2.93 billion pesos sa printing.

229
00:18:17,340 --> 00:18:20,340
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: We wanted to start again by December of 2020.

230
00:18:20,380 --> 00:18:31,600
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung pong deployment at saka logistics, as early as 2027 po, may mga dine-deploy na po tayo, especially overseas.

231
00:18:32,460 --> 00:18:38,380
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kasi po ang overseas voting po natin, although tayo po ay magpapa-internet voting na muli sa overseas,

232
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:46,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ay kinakailang mag-deploy rin po kami ng mga machines at kahit yung mga kiosk.

233
00:18:46,500 --> 00:18:54,560
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kasi nga po, may mga kababayan tayo, especially in Hong Kong and Singapore, sa mga kiosk sila ng embahada at konsulada bumoboto.

234
00:18:55,460 --> 00:18:59,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kahit pa may access sila sa laptops, iPads, cellphone, meron naman po silang sarili.

235
00:18:59,940 --> 00:19:06,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung iba po, pag nagsasama-sama pag Sunday, gusto po sa mga kiosk, we have to deploy all of this by 2027.

236
00:19:07,340 --> 00:19:14,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Likewise, magkakaroon po kami ng mga, at alam nyo naman po yan, yung honors, yung pong mga tinatawag na test,

237
00:19:14,580 --> 00:19:16,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: including yung mga mock elections.

238
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:20,580
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pag nagpapamak-election po tayo, nagde-deploy din po tayo ng mga kagamitan.

239
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:27,520
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Wala po kami magagamit kasi binigyan lang po kami ng 127 million of the 2.63.

240
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And meron pa po tayong demo ballots.

241
00:19:31,460 --> 00:19:34,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ang demo ballots po natin, kalimitan, mga more or less 1 million.

242
00:19:35,900 --> 00:19:39,640
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So wala po kami pang-print, wala rin po kami pang-deploy sa mga demo ballots.

243
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:45,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So just to underscore the importance of what was removed from the commission on election,

244
00:19:45,980 --> 00:19:49,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: hindi na po kami mangihinge doon sa tinanggal na sa amin.

245
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Masakit na yung mismong agency budget.

246
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pero yung pong preparatory, national, and local, we cannot compromise that because that will compromise the election.

247
00:19:57,380 --> 00:20:06,400
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Supplies, tingnan nyo naman po from 973 year honors, binigyan lang po kami ng 167, a reduction of 806 million pesos.

248
00:20:07,260 --> 00:20:12,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung pong packaging services, yung pong mga balota natin, kung napansin nyo po, especially at the time na kayo ay tumatakbo.

249
00:20:12,980 --> 00:20:15,960
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ibang klase po kasi yung packaging natin.

250
00:20:15,980 --> 00:20:22,440
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi po ordinary packaging yun because we do not want the integrity of the ballots being compromised.

251
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,440
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Nakabak yung pakta po yun, yung mga balota natin.

252
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:31,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Siyempre po kung mag-print na kami by 2027, ipa-impake na po namin yun.

253
00:20:32,460 --> 00:20:38,600
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Paano po kung nag-print tayo, binigyan nyo nga po kami ng dagdag na budget sa printing kung hindi rin naman po yan may impake.

254
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:40,380
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Masisira po yung mga balota.

255
00:20:40,380 --> 00:20:44,380
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So isipin nyo po yung tinanggal sa amin para doon po sa...

256
00:20:45,980 --> 00:20:49,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Sa budget na yun, ay ganun na lang po kalaki.

257
00:20:49,580 --> 00:20:54,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: From 216, naging 154, kulang po kami ng 61.4.

258
00:20:55,360 --> 00:20:57,100
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung pong international certification.

259
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,080
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ito po, alam na alam po ni na Congressman Percy.

260
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:10,440
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Under Republic Act 9369, the Comelec should have international certification and TEC certification six months before the election.

261
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,520
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pero bago po kayo ma-issue na certification na yan,

262
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:18,380
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: meron pong mga kondisyon na dapat ma-undergo ng ating sistema.

263
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:25,520
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ang sinasabi po nila sa binigay po sa aming budget, sa 2028 na kayo magpa-certify.

264
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi po kakayanin yun.

265
00:21:27,740 --> 00:21:36,720
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ang certification po ay 2027 kasi po lahat po, election, yung pong source code review, yung pong etc. etc. lahat,

266
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kinakailang ma-undergo muna bago po tayo magkaroon ng certification.

267
00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:42,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Isipin nyo po, from 163 ginawang...

268
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:52,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Nung nakarang election po, ang ating na pong binayad para sa international certification is more or less 160 million.

269
00:21:53,700 --> 00:21:55,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Tapos nireduce po kami sa 137.

270
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,640
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: International testing body po yun.

271
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,820
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung pong nakalagay sa batas eh, dapat international testing body.

272
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:09,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi po pwedeng local dahil wala po pa po tayong local na nag-tetest dito sa ating bansa.

273
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,400
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At yung pong overtime namin.

274
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:19,220
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Sa Comilic po, pag nag-overtime ang lahat ng mga empleyado because of the preparation, it's almost 200 million.

275
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,240
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kung 6 months po yan, that's 1.2 billion.

276
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:27,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Binigyan lang po kami ng 867, kulang po kami ng 330.

277
00:22:27,460 --> 00:22:30,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: That's only 5 months na overtime for next year.

278
00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:42,720
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And then, after po ng overtime, tingnan nyo po yung lease of warehouse and venues.

279
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:51,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ang filing po ng candidacy for national kasama po ang party lease, ginagawa po namin sa isang malaking venue.

280
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,720
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Nung nakaraan po, matatandaan ng lahat, doon po sa tent ng Manila Hotel.

281
00:22:56,420 --> 00:23:00,240
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Wala po kasi si Comilic na sariling venue dahil wala po kaming building.

282
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,120
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kami po ay nangungupahan lang sa Palacio del Gobernador.

283
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,200
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And therefore, kinakailangan po kami mag-lease.

284
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,600
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kung wala pong siniro po kami doon eh, tingnan nyo po your honors, Mr. Chair.

285
00:23:11,900 --> 00:23:13,140
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Lease of warehouse and venues.

286
00:23:13,140 --> 00:23:14,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung warehouse, siro po kami.

287
00:23:16,120 --> 00:23:19,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 118 po yung aming nire-request, siro po yung binigay sa amin.

288
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,720
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Therefore, saan po kami magpapafile ng certificates of candidacy sa national?

289
00:23:24,060 --> 00:23:25,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Wala pong problema sa local.

290
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,280
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Sa mga local, Comilic ang filing.

291
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,840
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: O kung hindi ba, minsan pinapahiram kami ng mga gym or basketball courts.

292
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:38,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pero sa national, for senators, for president and vice president, and for the party lease, namumblema po kami

293
00:23:38,020 --> 00:23:42,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: dahil wala po kaming malaking space to conduct the filing of the candidacy.

294
00:23:43,140 --> 00:23:46,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung pong lease na lang po noong nakarang election, that's 31 million.

295
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:48,680
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 31 million.

296
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,460

299
00:23:55,620 --> 00:23:59,640
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Lahat ng problema sa automated election system natin, diyan itinatawag.

300
00:24:00,660 --> 00:24:02,720
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yan po yung pinaka-central hub for election day.

301
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,540
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Technical, dapat po sineset up yan a year before the election.

302
00:24:05,700 --> 00:24:08,100
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Zero din po yung binigay sa amin, your honors.

303

COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: DOSC certification conferences.

305
00:24:13,140 --> 00:24:14,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Wala po kami mati-train ng mga trainers.

306
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:16,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Negative din po.

307
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,820

309
00:24:24,940 --> 00:24:28,280
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: para i-verify tama ba talaga yung polling precinct na to?

310
00:24:28,380 --> 00:24:30,380
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Tama ba talaga yung voting center na to?

311
00:24:30,780 --> 00:24:32,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Talaga bang maayos?

312
00:24:32,120 --> 00:24:32,920
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi binabagyo?

315
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And that is for traveling and mobilization expenses.

316
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,040
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At siyempre po, para po magkaroon tayo ng final,

317
00:24:43,140 --> 00:24:44,140
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: project of precinct.

00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:08,580
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 9 plus 6, that's 15 billion po ang natanggal sa amin.

325
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:10,680
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Wala po kami pwedeng maipagawa.

415
00:28:27,460 --> 00:28:29,460

416
00:28:29,460 --> 00:28:32,460

417
00:28:32,460 --> 00:28:35,460

418
00:28:35,460 --> 00:28:37,460

423
00:28:48,460 --> 00:28:50,460
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: So, can you paint for us, Chairman George,

424

Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: What will happen in 2028

426
00:28:54,460 --> 00:28:56,460
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: kung hindi po natin marerestore

429
00:29:02,460 --> 00:29:06,460
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: for the national-local elections in 2028?

430
00:29:06,460 --> 00:29:08,460
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chair, your Honors.

431
00:29:08,460 --> 00:29:10,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kulang ang machine.

432
00:29:10,460 --> 00:29:12,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi na makakapag-print ng Comelec

433
00:29:12,460 --> 00:29:14,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kaagad ng balota.

434
00:29:14,460 --> 00:29:16,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi po kami makakapag-

435
00:29:16,460 --> 00:29:18,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: wala po tayong paglalagyan ng mga kagamitan natin

436
00:29:18,460 --> 00:29:20,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: dahil wala po kaming space,

437
00:29:20,460 --> 00:29:22,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: wala pong warehouse,

438
00:29:22,460 --> 00:29:24,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: wala pong sariling space ang Commission on Elections.

439
00:29:24,460 --> 00:29:26,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So, alam ko po,

440
00:29:26,460 --> 00:29:28,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung katanong ngayon ay babato sa atin.

441
00:29:28,460 --> 00:29:29,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At sabi ko po,

442
00:29:29,460 --> 00:29:31,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: we should be very careful

443
00:29:31,460 --> 00:29:32,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: in answering the questions,

444
00:29:32,460 --> 00:29:34,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: simply because that will be the headline by tomorrow.

445
00:29:34,460 --> 00:29:36,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: But what we are saying is,

446
00:29:36,460 --> 00:29:37,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: we do not, we want to,

447
00:29:37,460 --> 00:29:39,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: we wanted to prevent

448
00:29:39,460 --> 00:29:44,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: that the election of 2028 be compromised

449
00:29:44,460 --> 00:29:47,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: simply because of the insufficient budget

450
00:29:47,460 --> 00:29:49,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: that will be given to us.

451
00:29:49,460 --> 00:29:50,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So, yun po,

452
00:29:50,460 --> 00:29:54,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: the election might be compromised in 2020.

453
00:29:54,460 --> 00:29:56,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Definitely, the Comelec will do anything.

454
00:29:56,460 --> 00:29:59,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ito pong huling election namin, itong special election.

455
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng Las Marinas, 191

456
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:03,820
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang kinailangan po namin eh.

457
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:05,640
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pero nahul po namin na eleksyon.

458
00:30:06,140 --> 00:30:08,260
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Bakit? Gumamit po kami ng mga indelible ink

459
00:30:08,260 --> 00:30:10,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na luma. Gumamit po kami ng mga

460
00:30:10,460 --> 00:30:12,320
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: tamprint taker na luma.

461
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,180
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Naggamit po kami ng ibang mga papeles

462
00:30:14,180 --> 00:30:16,060
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na luma. So pwede naman po namin

463
00:30:16,060 --> 00:30:17,760
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: gawin but not in a presidential

464
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: and vice presidential election.

465
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:21,180
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Okay pa po ang

466
00:30:21,180 --> 00:30:24,220
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: special election, Mr. Chair, Your Honors,

467
00:30:24,620 --> 00:30:25,920
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: but not in a presidential,

468
00:30:26,700 --> 00:30:28,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: vice presidential with 12

469
00:30:28,020 --> 00:30:30,380
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: senators and with 65

470
00:30:30,380 --> 00:30:31,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: or 66 member

471
00:30:31,660 --> 00:30:33,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: of the House of Representatives coming

472
00:30:33,940 --> 00:30:36,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: from the party list.

473
00:30:36,300 --> 00:30:38,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So yun po ang senaryo

474
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:38,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: natin by 2020.

475
00:30:40,500 --> 00:30:41,760
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

476
00:30:42,860 --> 00:30:44,060
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Ulitin ko lang po kasi

477
00:30:44,060 --> 00:30:45,680
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: mukhang nahirapan po kayong sabihin

478
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,940
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ulit yung sinabi ko. So this is

479
00:30:47,940 --> 00:30:49,660
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: a recipe for disaster.

480
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,220
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: As much as we

481
00:30:52,220 --> 00:30:54,360
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: appreciate

482
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:55,640
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: yung pong inyong

483
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,860
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: maski pops gagawa ng paraan,

484
00:30:58,020 --> 00:31:00,140
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ingenuity in making

485
00:31:00,140 --> 00:31:02,320
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: do with what is now being proposed

486
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,100
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: in the NEP. Malinaw po

487
00:31:04,100 --> 00:31:05,860
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: sa picture that you painted for us.

488
00:31:06,220 --> 00:31:08,440
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: So this amount remain as it is.

489
00:31:08,820 --> 00:31:10,200
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Ito po isang recipe for

490
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:12,140
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: disaster. We're looking at

491
00:31:12,140 --> 00:31:14,000
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: not just a failure of elections

492
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,840
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: but a failure of this very

493
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,080
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: important democratic exercise.

494
00:31:18,820 --> 00:31:20,020
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Mayroon po bang binigay ng

495
00:31:20,020 --> 00:31:22,160
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: paliwanag sa inyo bakit ganito

496
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,260
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: kalaki yung binawa sa budget

497
00:31:24,260 --> 00:31:26,160
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ng COMELEC the year

498
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,000
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: before a very important election?

499
00:31:28,020 --> 00:31:30,560
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

500
00:31:31,380 --> 00:31:33,120
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Nung makaharap po namin

501
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:34,260
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung mga representatives

502
00:31:34,260 --> 00:31:35,540
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: from the DBM,

503
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:37,820
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sabi po nila sa amin,

504
00:31:38,300 --> 00:31:40,380
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: okay, but Mr. Chair,

505
00:31:40,860 --> 00:31:41,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: as a compromise,

506
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:43,640
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: pwede ba magbawas kayo sa

507
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,080
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: pinopropose nyo? Nagbawas po kami

508
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:46,840
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng 5 billion.

509
00:31:47,980 --> 00:31:49,320
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 5 billion po, Mr. Chair.

510
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,200
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Sinacrifice namin yung voter verification

511
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: feature. Dapat po sana gusto namin

512
00:31:54,300 --> 00:31:56,220
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung machines, pag pumasok

513
00:31:56,220 --> 00:31:58,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung mga botante, yung machines,

514
00:31:58,020 --> 00:32:00,260
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: magbe-verify na kung siya ay botante.

515
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:01,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: That will cost us 2 billion.

516
00:32:02,300 --> 00:32:04,200
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung blockchain technology, gusto po

517
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,200
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sana namin isama.

518
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,120
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung blockchain technology, tinanggal na rin

519
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: po namin, tutal first time sana mangyayari

520
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:11,820
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na maglalagay tayo ng blockchain

521
00:32:11,820 --> 00:32:14,140
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: technology. Yung pong COMELEC

522
00:32:14,140 --> 00:32:15,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: building, kasi nga po

523
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,060
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang mapapagawa lang po namin

524
00:32:18,060 --> 00:32:20,040
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung facade, wala pa po yung loob, wala pa

525
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:20,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung kagamitan, etc.

526
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,260
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ziniron na lang din po namin, sinacrifice na po namin.

527
00:32:25,140 --> 00:32:26,140
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Para lang po sabihin

528
00:32:26,140 --> 00:32:28,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na makapagbawso, tangga po namin.

529
00:32:28,020 --> 00:32:29,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ito nila yun, yung binawas namin. Unfortunately,

530
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,040
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: nung malabas na po yung NEP,

531
00:32:32,900 --> 00:32:34,100
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ay bigla na lang po siyang

532
00:32:34,100 --> 00:32:35,540
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: nabawasan ng 15 billion.

533
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:37,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 9 billion nga po. So, hindi po,

534
00:32:38,060 --> 00:32:40,100
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: wala pong explanation po sa

535
00:32:40,100 --> 00:32:41,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: amin kung bakit natanggal

536
00:32:41,980 --> 00:32:44,260
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung 9 billion pesos. Sabi namin,

537
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,200
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: this cannot be compromised.

538
00:39:10,900 --> 00:39:12,260
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Renta na ngayon ay magagamit

539
00:39:12,260 --> 00:39:14,160
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: pa for 2 years from now, given

540
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,320
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: yung difficulty natin in storage

541
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:17,860
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: dahil nga po wala kayong pondo

542
00:39:17,860 --> 00:39:19,940
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: para sa mga warehouses. Talaga pong

543
00:39:19,940 --> 00:39:21,960
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: tinitina natin bilang yung 8 billion na yun.

544
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:23,940
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Ay nasayang na resources

545
00:39:23,940 --> 00:39:25,960
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: na dapat sana nilagay para sa school

546
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:27,940

723
00:45:57,700 --> 00:46:00,160

726
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:05,460

00:46:25,740 --> 00:46:27,660

745
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: very democratic process. Pero

746
00:46:43,620 --> 00:46:45,180

747
00:46:45,180 --> 00:46:47,620

849
00:50:14,870 --> 00:50:16,390

850
00:50:16,390 --> 00:50:18,530
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: billion pesos.

851
00:50:19,230 --> 00:50:21,010

861

862
00:50:40,970 --> 00:50:42,850

00:50:42,850 --> 00:50:44,690

864

COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So, una, hindi po kami pinayagan noon na bumili.

1147
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:18,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Tama naman po, lease lang.

1148
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:20,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Number two, one-time lease only.

1149
01:00:21,080 --> 01:00:23,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kasi nga po, walang option to purchase, lease only.

1150
01:00:23,620 --> 01:00:31,380
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So, this is not saying po na ayaw namin doon sa dati nating provider.

1151
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:34,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kasi nga po, maganda naman ang performance.

1152
01:00:34,540 --> 01:00:37,960
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pero siyempre po, hindi pwede magsabi na kami ngayon na dapat sila pa rin

1153
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:41,560
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: dahil basta sabihin, tailor-feated yung aming terms of reference.

1154
01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:47,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kung kaya lang po, siyempre Mr. Chair, yung lahat po ng desisyon patungkol sa budget,

1155
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:49,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: although we will propose,

1156
01:00:49,900 --> 01:00:53,140
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang may final say pa rin po is the power of the first Congress.

1157
01:00:53,140 --> 01:00:58,540
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pag sinabi po sa amin na only one-time use, yung po talaga one-time use lang.

1158
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:01,440
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At for the information also of the...

1159
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:04,100
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Excuse me po, sinabi ba ng Congress na one-time use lang?

1160
01:01:04,260 --> 01:01:07,200
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Wala pong ganyang, wala akong pagkakaalam na sinasabi yan ng Congress.

1161
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:11,360
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ang alam ko po, kayong gagawa ng terms of reference at yung term of reference,

1162
01:01:11,740 --> 01:01:14,040
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: pag sinabi niyong pwede ang second hand, pwede sila mag-bid.

1163
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:20,180
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Siyempre po, Mr. Chair, lahat po ng mga gagamitin, lalo sa gobyerno, dapat laging bago.

1164
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:23,120
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And therefore, una, hindi na kami pinayagan.

1165
01:01:23,140 --> 01:01:25,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Nga po ni Congress na bumili, hindi...

1166
01:01:25,300 --> 01:01:26,380
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Mathematic po.

1167
01:01:27,260 --> 01:01:28,360
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ginamit po uli yun.

1168
01:01:28,580 --> 01:01:29,680
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ginamit po uli yun.

1169
01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:34,420
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Although may purchase agreement, second hand purchase agreement,

1170
01:01:34,820 --> 01:01:35,880
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: ginamit po uli yun.

1171
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:40,920
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Kailangan po natin ng austerity ngayon.

1172
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:47,940
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Alam nyo, from 17.9, gagasos tayo ng 23 billion,

1173
01:01:48,060 --> 01:01:50,360
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: nandiyan na yung makina na ayos naman.

1174
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,120
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: So, this is the same argument.

1175
01:01:53,140 --> 01:01:59,040
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: I've been telling you, during the Smartmatic, na merong pwede pang gamitin,

1176
01:01:59,340 --> 01:02:04,800
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: makakatipid tayo, magagasos lang natin, mga 10 billion, as against 18 billion.

1177
01:02:05,700 --> 01:02:06,960
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: O ngayon po, ganito na naman.

1178
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:12,140
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: We will be spending 23 billion as against the machine na pinaglaban nyo noon.

1179
01:02:12,860 --> 01:02:13,440
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Hindi po ba?

1180
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:18,360
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: So, ano po ba ang sabi ng Comelec Advisory Council tungkol dito?

1181
01:02:18,660 --> 01:02:21,360
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Nakonbinyo na po ba ang Comelec Advisory Council?

1182
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:22,680
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ay yes po, Mr. Chair.

1183
01:02:23,140 --> 01:02:26,340
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Tapos na po kami sa Terms of Reference ngayon.

1184
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:30,280
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Nagbigay na rin ng suggestion, recommendation ng Comelec Advisory Council.

1185
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:32,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At ang kanila pong recommendation, parehas po.

1186
01:02:32,860 --> 01:02:37,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: We have to lease, not necessarily from the same provider,

1187
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:40,960
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: we have to lease the machines for the 2028 elections.

1188
01:02:41,140 --> 01:02:48,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: In fact, nagpadagdag po sila ng ibang mga features doon sa mga ililist natin sa machines.

1189
01:02:48,900 --> 01:02:51,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So, sila rin mismo ay nag-recommend din po, Mr. Chair.

1190
01:02:53,140 --> 01:02:58,800
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Bago dito na we will need additional mga 6 billion.

1191
01:02:59,180 --> 01:03:02,860
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Anong bago dito sa makina na ito?

1192
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:06,600
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Mr. Chair, hindi lang po ito yung technical features.

1193
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:09,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kasi nga po, mag-i-increase ang number of voters.

1194
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:13,680
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So, dati-dati po, Mr. Chair, mag-i-increase po yung number of voters.

1195
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:15,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kaya po nag-i-increase yung machine natin.

1196
01:03:16,060 --> 01:03:16,960
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Tingnan nyo po, Mr. Chair.

1197
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:22,960
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Dati-dati ang ating presinto ay 101,000 plus 70.

1198
01:03:23,140 --> 01:03:26,260
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 7,000 na contingency machines.

1199
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:28,920
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: That's more or less 108,000.

1200
01:03:29,420 --> 01:03:32,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ngayon po, Mr. Chair, 124,000.

1201
01:03:33,260 --> 01:03:37,420
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 124,000 machines ang kailangan po natin.

1202
01:03:38,300 --> 01:03:46,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Nung nakaraan, ang ating machine per machine natin ay 155,000.

1203
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:50,520
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ngayon po, papagbabagsak lang po siya ng mga 160,000.

1204
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:52,440
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 5,000 lang po na dagdag.

1205
01:03:53,140 --> 01:03:54,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kung i-compute po natin.

1206
01:03:55,460 --> 01:03:58,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So, it's not really because of the technical improvements.

1207
01:03:58,800 --> 01:03:59,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Although, malaking bagay yun.

1208
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:06,040
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung technical improvements, hindi po palagay namin makaka-apekto sa pagpe-presyo

1209
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:07,720
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: nung magpo-procure sa amin.

1210
01:04:08,140 --> 01:04:12,680
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kung hindi yung bilang talaga ng dami po, Mr. Chair, ng mga makina.

1211
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:17,460
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: If you will need additional 20,000 machines, that's only 3 billion.

1212
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:21,220
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: At kung ang ililis nyo, yung lumana,

1213
01:04:22,260 --> 01:04:23,120
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: at least,

1214
01:04:23,140 --> 01:04:26,040
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: makakatipid kayo, baka higit po sa 3 billion.

1215
01:04:27,460 --> 01:04:30,920
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: So, ibig sabihin, makakatipid kayo dito.

1216
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:36,960
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: More or less, pinakamababa, 6 billion kung gagamitin nyo yung dating machine.

1217
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:44,140
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: So, instead of magkagulong eleksyon, dahil kulang yung machine,

1218
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:48,540
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: kaysa magkaroon ng problema yung eleksyon, dahil kulang sa pondo,

1219
01:04:48,900 --> 01:04:51,940
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: bakit hindi tayo magtipid, gamitin natin yung pwede pa naman.

1220
01:04:51,940 --> 01:04:52,500
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Totally.

1221
01:04:53,140 --> 01:04:58,180
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Meron naman kayong technical working group na makikita kung talagang pwede pa yung mga dati.

1222
01:04:59,860 --> 01:05:04,260
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Payagan nyo lang na yan ay magamit muli.

1223
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:06,680
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: At hindi naman tayo parang si action aksaya.

1224
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:14,100
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Eh, palagay ko, magkakasya kung kulangin man yung pondo ninyo, kaunti lamang.

1225
01:05:14,300 --> 01:05:18,160
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ngayon po, kung magkailangan nyo na napakalaking pondo,

1226
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:22,880
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: i-restore yung 9 billion, tingin ko napakaliit ng fiscal space natin.

1227
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:32,620
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Gaya ng sinabi ko sa inyo, only nasa 16% na lang po yung fiscal space for capital outlay.

1228
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:34,680
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Kaya nga pati yung Comilic building nyo nawala.

1229
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:36,240
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Salamat po.

1230
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:42,260
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Papasalamat po kami doon sa concern ng honorable member of this committee.

1231
01:05:42,820 --> 01:05:48,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And definitely, we will consider that for purposes of finalizing everything.

1232
01:05:48,020 --> 01:05:51,440
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Tutal naman po, Mr. Chair, kung sakali po hindi ma-re-restore,

1233
01:05:51,580 --> 01:05:52,760
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: so we will have to really find.

1234
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:59,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: A reasonable plan of action, kung talaga pong hindi ma-re-restore yung budget natin.

1235
01:05:59,880 --> 01:06:03,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ang sa amin lang po is, at least, nandito pa naman po kami sa level ng kongreso.

1236
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:07,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And therefore, baka sakali mapagbibigyan po kami sa aming apilan na yan.

1237
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:09,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

1238
01:06:09,880 --> 01:06:11,880
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Chair.

1239
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:14,880
Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan: Thank you, Representative Ega Erize.

1240
01:06:14,880 --> 01:06:21,880
Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan: Before we proceed, we would like to acknowledge the presence of Representative Iris Demesa Montes and

1241
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:26,880
Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan: Vice Chair Isabella Maria Segar-Maria.

1242
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:30,880
Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan: And also, Representative Saldivilla.

1243
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:36,880
Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan: Next in line, from the majority, Representative Jonathan Keith Flores.

1244
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:44,990
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Thank you, Mr. Chair. Chairman Garcia, could you tell me po kung magkano yung hiningi nyo na budget

1245
01:06:44,990 --> 01:06:50,990
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: at magkano yung binigay na budget on the year the last time we had BSKE po?

1246
01:06:50,990 --> 01:06:51,990
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Yung BSKE po, Mr. Chairman,

1247
01:06:51,990 --> 01:06:52,990
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Yung BSKE po, Mr. Chairman,

1248
01:06:52,990 --> 01:06:53,990
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Yung BSKE po, Mr. Chairman,

1249
01:06:53,990 --> 01:06:59,990
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: moore or less 12 billion pesos, pagkatapos po, ah yung pong nakaraan nung 2023.

1250
01:06:59,990 --> 01:07:03,990
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Yung year na yun, yung entire budget ng COMELEC po that year.

1251
01:07:03,990 --> 01:07:09,990
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Yung mga moore or less po, mga ganun, mga 11 billion, Mr. Chair.

1252
01:07:09,990 --> 01:07:11,990
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Pero magkano hiningi nyo?

1253
01:07:11,990 --> 01:07:14,990
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Ang hiningi po namin noon, mga 15 billion po, Mr. Chair.

1254
01:07:14,990 --> 01:07:16,990
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: So 15, 11 lang yung binigay?

1255
01:07:16,990 --> 01:07:17,990
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Yes, po, Mr. Chair.

1256
01:07:17,990 --> 01:07:22,990
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: I'm saying that because I'm trying to reconcile po, bakit may sobrang disconnect sa magkano hiningi nyo?

1257
01:07:22,990 --> 01:07:28,450
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: ngayon and anong binigay? You said that you have a

1258
01:07:28,450 --> 01:07:32,110
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: 99.73 absorptive capacity, yet yung budget niyo

1259
01:07:32,110 --> 01:07:37,270
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: is binawasan ng almost 34%. Tama ba? Yes po,

1260
01:07:37,270 --> 01:07:42,310
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Mr. Chair. Was there any reason given by the DBM po?

1261
01:07:42,310 --> 01:07:47,450
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Binabase po lagi nila sa historical basis yung what was given prior to.

1262
01:07:47,450 --> 01:07:52,270
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi po nafa-factor lagi yung increase in the number of voters, increase in the number of

1263
01:07:52,270 --> 01:07:57,130
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: precincts, increase in the number of election paraphernalia and increase in

1264
01:07:57,130 --> 01:08:00,350
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: the number of teachers, including an increase in the honoraria.

1265
01:08:00,350 --> 01:08:04,830
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Sandali lang po. Tumatakbo yung oras ko eh.

1266
01:08:04,830 --> 01:08:09,310
Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan: Ayun, balik mo 10 minutes. Go ahead, sir.

1267
01:08:09,310 --> 01:08:12,070
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So yun po, Mr. Chair, hindi po talaga nafa-factor in nila.

1268
01:08:12,070 --> 01:08:18,370
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Sa totoo lang po, during our budget briefing,

1269
01:08:18,370 --> 01:08:22,230
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: [unclear] was even the one who explained everything to the

1270
01:08:22,230 --> 01:08:22,250
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: you

1271
01:08:22,270 --> 01:08:26,710
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: representatives of the executive department. Ang sabi po namin, kahit po

1272
01:08:26,710 --> 01:08:31,390
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: [unclear] nag-increase tayo ng botante, increase

1273
01:08:31,390 --> 01:08:35,510
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: po ang presinto. Hindi naman po papayag ang lahat na ang presinto

1274
01:08:35,510 --> 01:08:41,170
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yun pa rin ang bilang. For example po sa number sa atin pong BSKE,

1275
01:08:41,170 --> 01:08:50,590
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Mr. Chair, ang BSKE po natin ay 201,000 precincts, pero ngayon po ang atin pong

1276
01:08:50,590 --> 01:08:52,250
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: presinto na ay 225,000 precincts. Bakit po? Ginawa po naming

1277
01:08:52,270 --> 01:08:55,710

01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:56,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na muna. We will definitely

1425
01:13:56,740 --> 01:13:58,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: at all costs, procure

1426
01:13:58,700 --> 01:14:01,080
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ABIS para po ma-improve

1427
01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:03,040
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: man lang kahit paano. But just the same po,

1428
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:04,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: that will not be enough. Simply

1429
01:14:04,900 --> 01:14:06,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: because you have to maintain the ABIS on a yearly

1430
01:14:06,980 --> 01:14:08,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: basis. Kaya po, tama po kayo, Mr.

1431
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:10,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Chair, ang laking bagay yung

1432
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:12,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: pong mawawala sa amin sa

1433
01:14:12,780 --> 01:14:14,820
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: CCT po. Kahit po yung cleansing of the list

1434
01:14:14,820 --> 01:14:16,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: of voters natin mako-compromise.

1435
01:14:17,740 --> 01:14:18,360
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Thank you.

1436
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:20,860
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Now, itong ano naman, you mentioned

1437
01:14:20,860 --> 01:14:22,960
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: kanina na you had 14,000

1438
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:23,500
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: cases.

1439
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:26,900
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: And, anong

1440
01:14:26,900 --> 01:14:28,800
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: cases ito? Were from the last elections

1441
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:30,280
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: or from 2022 or 25?

1442
01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:32,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Asama na rin po yung mga last elections,

1443
01:14:33,060 --> 01:14:34,440
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung mga nadatnam po natin dyan.

1444
01:14:34,900 --> 01:14:36,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: As early as even

1445
01:14:36,480 --> 01:14:38,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 2016, may mga cases.

1446
01:14:39,020 --> 01:14:40,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ngayon po, wala kaming 2016

1447
01:14:40,620 --> 01:14:42,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: cases. Wala na po kaming 2019.

1448
01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:44,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Wala na rin po kaming 2020.

1449
01:14:44,700 --> 01:14:46,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 25 na lang po, 2025

1450
01:14:46,660 --> 01:14:48,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: cases na lang po, ang natitira

1451
01:14:48,700 --> 01:14:50,660
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: sa amin. At sinabi niyo po that you had

1452
01:14:50,660 --> 01:14:53,100
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: 62.47 case disposition.

1453
01:14:53,100 --> 01:14:53,620
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Tama po ba?

1454
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:56,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi lang po sa aming

1455
01:14:56,740 --> 01:14:59,060
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: clerk of the commission, kung hindi

1456
01:14:59,060 --> 01:14:59,840
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: po sa election.

1457
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:04,120
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Contest and Adjudication Department, kasama na rin po ang sa Law Department ng COVID.

1458
01:15:04,180 --> 01:15:08,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung Law Department po namin medyo, hindi po ganun kabilis ang case disposition namin, Mr. Chair,

1459
01:15:09,020 --> 01:15:14,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: simply because we have to understand that cases before the Law Department are criminal in nature.

1460
01:15:14,980 --> 01:15:22,060
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And therefore, we have to afford that highest degree of due process to all those respondents facing criminal prosecution.

1461
01:15:22,060 --> 01:15:29,740
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Okay, now, hindi nagmamatch kasi. You said 14,000 cases, 62.47 case disposition.

1462
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:34,620
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: And you said mga 400 lang yung naiwan. It should be about 5,000.

1463
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:37,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Meron po kasi mga nag-motion for reconsideration.

1464
01:15:38,260 --> 01:15:43,320
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Therefore, yung pumbilang namin, because that is already still a disposition, kasama na rin po.

1465
01:15:43,380 --> 01:15:47,840
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: But the motion for reconsideration, that can easily be disposed already by the Commission and Bank.

1466
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:54,720
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Hindi naman kayo ma-affected itong case disposition ninyo with the budget that you'll be having?

1467
01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:59,840
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi naman po. We will definitely ensure this honorable body that case disposition will still proceed.

1468
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:04,340
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: As is, regardless as to whether there will be a reduction in our budget.

1469
01:16:04,440 --> 01:16:09,260
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Okay, now, the cases that you mentioned, ito ba ay parang initiated by other people?

1470
01:16:09,420 --> 01:16:12,300
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Or are there cases that are more appropriate initiated by the Comelec?

1471
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:19,120
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Madami po dyan, especially sa Law Department, more appropriate initiated by the Political Finance and Affairs Department.

1472
01:16:19,460 --> 01:16:22,760
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Especially yung mga donations. Especially yung mga overspending.

1473
01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:25,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Madami po silang finile dyan.

1474
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:28,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung iba po, Mr. Chair, yung naabutan namin dati,

1475
01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:29,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung mga cases,

1476
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:31,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung mga cases ng SK.

1477
01:16:31,940 --> 01:16:35,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Alam nyo po, Mr. Chair, yung SK dati, before the 2023 elections,

1478
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:41,140
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ay 7,000 cases ang na-file sa sangguniang kabataan dahil over-aged po sila.

1479
01:16:42,020 --> 01:16:43,200
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Magaling po yung mga iba eh.

1480
01:16:43,420 --> 01:16:46,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Alam po nila na napakatagal ng disposition sa amin at that time,

1481
01:16:47,140 --> 01:16:50,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: so nagpa-file pa rin ng candidacy kahit sila ay more than 24 years of age.

1482
01:16:51,060 --> 01:16:52,380
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ngayon po, may solusyon kami.

1483
01:16:52,860 --> 01:16:55,200
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kaya po noong 2023, kumunti po ang nag-file.

1484
01:16:55,540 --> 01:16:55,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Bakit po?

1485
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:59,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi po namin tinatanggap yung certificates of candidacy ng mga kandidatasyon.

1486
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:05,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kapag nakita namin sa record namin that they are more than 24 years of age kahit one day,

1487
01:17:05,820 --> 01:17:06,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: we will not accept anymore.

1488
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:10,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ang sabi namin, if they want to go to the Supreme Court, then let them question.

1489
01:17:10,780 --> 01:17:13,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Para lang po, hindi na 7,000 ang bilang.

1490
01:17:13,480 --> 01:17:16,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung po mga kandidato for barangay candidates,

1491
01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:21,920
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: dati-dati po, kahit hindi registered voters, tinatanggap ni Comelec ang mga COC.

1492
01:17:22,020 --> 01:17:26,520
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ngayon po, pag nakita namin sa record namin na hindi pala registered voter doon sa barangay,

1493
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:29,720
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: we will also not accept their certificates of candidacy.

1494
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:34,140
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So, yung mga innovations without requiring additional budget naman po, Mr. Chair.

1495
01:17:34,260 --> 01:17:39,260
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So, may mga pamamaraan naman talaga kung magiging maayos lang sa procedure

1496
01:17:39,260 --> 01:17:42,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: basta may pag-observe ng due process.

1497
01:17:42,780 --> 01:17:43,220
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Ito po.

1498
01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:49,160
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: But what happens if, example, 2022 pa, may overspending sa SOSE,

1499
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:51,540
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: hindi pa na-actionan ng law department ninyo,

1500
01:17:51,820 --> 01:17:54,220
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: ay mag-pre-prescribe na iyan sa 2027, tama ba?

1501
01:17:55,020 --> 01:17:58,960
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So long as we are able to start already the process,

1502
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:05,380
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: wala pong hindi po mag-pre-prescribe yung five-year na prescriptive period.

1503
01:18:05,860 --> 01:18:11,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kasi yung five-year prescriptive period po is from the moment of the commission of the alleged election offense.

1504
01:18:11,140 --> 01:18:14,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kung walang kilos si Comelec, wala man lang pong initiation,

1505
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:17,540
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: wala namang election, wala pong preliminary investigation,

1506
01:18:18,100 --> 01:18:23,440
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: then [unclear] po talaga. Mai-invoke po sa amin yung napakaraming desisyon ng Supreme Court

1507
01:18:23,440 --> 01:18:26,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: on the speedy disposition of cases.

1508
01:18:26,300 --> 01:18:27,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: But once nagsimula na po kami,

1509
01:18:28,240 --> 01:18:28,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: hindi na po mai-invoke sa

1510
01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:30,240
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: amin yung five years.

1511
01:18:30,580 --> 01:18:35,960
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: But these are supposedly matters that should have been initiated by the Komelik Motopropyo, di ba?

1512
01:18:36,060 --> 01:18:38,240
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Kasi it's stated in the SOSE, di ba?

1513
01:18:38,300 --> 01:18:39,880
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: It's under oath, it's submitted to you.

1514
01:18:40,380 --> 01:18:42,560
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Dapat kayo na po yung nag-initiate niyan, di ba?

1515
01:18:42,700 --> 01:18:43,420
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yes po, Mr. Chair.

1516
01:18:43,480 --> 01:18:48,320
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: In fact, we are going to submit to this committee, para lang din po maging transpire,

1517
01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:53,120
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: we are going to submit the list of cases filed by our Political Finance and Affairs Department

1518
01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:57,540
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: as Motopropyo initiated by that office without a need for anybody

1519
01:18:57,540 --> 01:18:59,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: filing a case.

1520
01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:03,960
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Because po, kita po namin eh, madali po namin makompare.

1521
01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:06,320
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: There was one instance, for example, in Laguna.

1522
01:19:06,780 --> 01:19:12,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kinakita po namin kaagad noon na hindi siya nag-file doon sa SOSE niya.

1523
01:19:12,580 --> 01:19:15,100
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi siya nag-file nung kanyang ginastos.

1524
01:19:15,660 --> 01:19:20,240
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Samantalang, for example, yung mismong station ng radyo or television,

1525
01:19:20,420 --> 01:19:22,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: nag-report, so kaya po namin makompare yun.

1526
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:26,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Even if, Mr. Chair, yung opisina po namin yun, yung PIFAD,

1527
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:31,060
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: meron po siyang 48 na tao, lahat po yun, Mr. Chair, ay mga casual employees.

1528
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:33,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Wala po kaming regular office na yun.

1529
01:19:34,220 --> 01:19:37,760
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And isa lang po ang aming, dalawa po ang lawyers namin, wala pong accountant doon.

1530
01:19:38,120 --> 01:19:42,200
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: They are able to dispose 48,000 SOSE in just a single election.

1531
01:19:43,100 --> 01:19:43,620
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Thank you.

1532
01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:48,400
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Mr. Chair, I would just like, before I leave, I would just like to manifest my support, of course,

1533
01:19:48,460 --> 01:19:52,480
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: for the restoration because of the dangers that we will be facing

1534
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:55,980
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: if Comelec does not get at least a fair share.

1535
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:57,920
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: of the budget that they are asking for.

1536
01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:03,100
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: But at the same time po, I hope that you will also try to resolve cases speedily po.

1537
01:20:03,180 --> 01:20:08,940
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Kasi the thing I hate the most is when a case is filed, tapos muntik na mag-election,

1538
01:20:09,100 --> 01:20:11,640
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: tsaka pa mag-de-decide si Comelec.

1539
01:20:11,780 --> 01:20:17,640
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: So if we can avoid that and resolve things faster siguro, I would much appreciate it po, Mr. Chair.

1540
01:20:17,900 --> 01:20:18,540
Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

1541
01:20:18,540 --> 01:20:23,520
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: We will submit, Mr. Chair, the list and then we will likewise submit to the Committee on Electoral Reforms

1542
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:24,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: the updates on these cases.

1543
01:20:24,900 --> 01:20:25,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Thank you very much.

1544
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:27,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

1545
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:30,000
Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan: Thank you, Representative Jonathan Kit Flores.

1546
01:20:33,420 --> 01:20:38,020
Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan: Next in line, from the minority, Representative Elijah San Fernando.

1547
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:40,180
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chair.

1548
01:20:40,780 --> 01:20:43,240
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Chair Garcia, magandang hapon po sa Comelec family.

1549
01:20:44,060 --> 01:20:48,100
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Meron lang po ilang mga paglilinaw na nais makuhang kinatawang ito.

1550
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:50,920
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Regarding po ito sa BARM elections,

1551
01:20:51,900 --> 01:20:55,760
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: just recently po, meron pong kinansila ng candidacy ang Comelec.

1552
01:20:56,060 --> 01:20:57,760
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ito po yung...

1553
01:20:58,620 --> 01:21:01,840
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Candidacy ni Anwar Alamada.

1554
01:21:02,680 --> 01:21:09,060
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Pupwede niyo po ba kaming bigyan ng briefer or ng background as to what led to the cancellation of his candidacy?

1555
01:21:09,660 --> 01:21:10,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Maraming salamat, Mr. Chair.

1556
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:16,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Without violating, because this is a hearing, without violating the rule on subjudice,

1557
01:21:16,620 --> 01:21:22,580
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: simply because we are fully aware that our decision will be elevated to the Supreme Court by the respondent,

1558
01:21:23,020 --> 01:21:25,960
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: the reason is because of the lack of residency.

1559
01:21:26,580 --> 01:21:28,600
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Doon po kasi ay nagkaroon ng certification.

1560
01:21:28,620 --> 01:21:33,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: mismo ang barangay na siya ay hindi domiciled doon sa area.

1561
01:21:34,260 --> 01:21:37,120
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: May decision po tayo, three cases by the Supreme Court,

1562
01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:44,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: that the Comelec should give the highest consideration to a certification issued by the barangay,

1563
01:21:44,900 --> 01:21:46,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: being the one in charge of the place.

1564
01:21:47,180 --> 01:21:51,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So yung po ang isa sa mga naging dahilan that to the belief of the Commission,

1565
01:21:52,020 --> 01:21:55,060
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: not only based on that but based on other evidence available,

1566
01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:58,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: he was not able to establish domicile in that place.

1567
01:21:58,620 --> 01:22:01,440
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Thank you, Chair Garcia, doon po sa sagot niyo.

1568
01:22:01,900 --> 01:22:07,020
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Kaya ako po ito na tanong, Mr. Chair, kasi hindi lang ito solely election issue.

1569
01:22:07,860 --> 01:22:12,280
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: This has something to do with the peace process happening in BARM.

1570
01:22:12,820 --> 01:22:16,040
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Na alam naman po natin, kaya nagkakaroon ng eleksyon ngayon sa BARM,

1571
01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:21,960
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: ay dahil yan yung matagal na pangarap na ng mga kapatid nating Bangsamoro for self-determination.

1572
01:22:22,360 --> 01:22:28,460
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So hindi po natin po pwedeng maipaghiwalay yung prosesong elektoral sa proseso ng usapingan,

1573
01:22:28,620 --> 01:22:29,560
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: yung pangkapayapaan.

1574
01:22:30,060 --> 01:22:38,640
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ngayon po, Chair Garcia, sa tingin niyo po ba, kasi ito pong si Mr. Anwar Alamada,

1575
01:22:39,340 --> 01:22:43,980
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: siya po ay isang senior MILF official, freedom fighter.

1576
01:22:43,980 --> 01:22:49,440
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: At alam naman po natin, bilang isang freedom fighter doon po sa conflict areas,

1577
01:22:49,900 --> 01:22:57,040
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: talagang wala siyang mapagtitirmisan na lugar kung saan siya nakatira.

1578
01:22:58,620 --> 01:23:05,480
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ngayon kinukonsidera ng Commission on Elections, itong nuances on the ongoing peace negotiations

1579
01:23:05,480 --> 01:23:11,600
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: and the rules na nag-govern dito po sa mga tumatakbong kandidato.

1580
01:23:12,020 --> 01:23:13,440
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: At yun po yung sinusunod ng Comelec.

1581
01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:16,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Salamat po, Mr. Chair. Tama po ang inyong napuntos.

1582
01:23:17,340 --> 01:23:23,340
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At kung yan man po ay gray area, Mr. Chair, yun din po ang kadahilanan kung bakit minarapat ni Comelec

1583
01:23:23,340 --> 01:23:25,320
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na desisyonan ang kaso na ito.

1584
01:23:25,500 --> 01:23:28,320
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Una po, Mr. Chair, to protect the interest of Mr. Alamada,

1585
01:23:28,620 --> 01:23:31,560
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: we did not remove his name sa balota.

1586
01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:34,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pinrint po namin yung kanyang pangalan sa balota.

1587
01:23:34,100 --> 01:23:39,820
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Number two, hindi po namin sinagad ang paglalabas ng desisyon until September 14.

1588
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:41,120
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pwede po sana namin gawin yun.

1589
01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:44,580
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ginawa po namin last week, nilabas ka agad namin yung desisyon

1590
01:23:44,580 --> 01:23:48,540
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: para meron po siyang sufficient time to go to the Honorable Supreme Court.

1591
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:51,440
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So that kung if people will still be voting for him,

1592
01:23:52,060 --> 01:23:54,720
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: or especially if he is able to get a restraining order,

1593
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:56,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: then at least po, Mr. Chair,

1594
01:23:56,860 --> 01:23:58,600
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: lahat po ng voto niya will be considered,

1595
01:23:58,620 --> 01:24:02,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: valid at hindi po siya makukonsider na stray votes.

1596
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:05,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At least binigyan po namin ng panahon siya.

1597
01:24:05,340 --> 01:24:07,400
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At least po, yung more than two weeks na yan,

1598
01:24:07,820 --> 01:24:09,820
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: hopefully po makapunta siya sa Korte Suprema.

1599
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:13,240
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Number three, talaga pong sana because of this case,

1600
01:24:13,900 --> 01:24:17,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: maging opportunity po ito sa ating kataas-taasang hukuman

1601
01:24:17,900 --> 01:24:20,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: upang malinaw yung mga ganyang bagay.

1602
01:24:20,580 --> 01:24:22,420
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: For example, tama po yung binabanggit ng inyong,

1603
01:24:22,600 --> 01:24:25,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: your honor, ng inyo po.

1604
01:24:26,160 --> 01:24:28,580
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Paano yung halimbawa po yung ating mga kababayan,

1605
01:24:28,620 --> 01:24:31,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na peripatetic, yung bang meron siyang,

1606
01:24:31,620 --> 01:24:34,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: meron po siya ay nangangalaka lang,

1607
01:24:34,620 --> 01:24:37,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: pagkatapos ay napupunta sa bawat bayan,

1608
01:24:37,620 --> 01:24:40,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: saan mo siya kukonsider na domicile?

1609
01:24:40,620 --> 01:24:43,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Tama po kayo, walang domicile yung technically eh,

1610
01:24:43,620 --> 01:24:45,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: but we have to understand that situation.

1611
01:24:45,620 --> 01:24:47,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Our problem po talaga lang, Mr. Chair,

1612
01:24:47,620 --> 01:24:51,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: is because of the requirements of the Local Government Code,

1613
01:24:51,620 --> 01:24:54,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: of the requirements of the Bangsamoro Electoral Code,

1614
01:24:54,620 --> 01:24:56,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: and of the consistent decision of the Supreme Court

1615
01:24:56,620 --> 01:24:57,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na it comes to domicile.

1616
01:24:57,620 --> 01:24:58,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Thank you.

1617
01:24:58,620 --> 01:25:01,620
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, sana nga po, mag-grab itong opportunity ito,

1618
01:25:01,620 --> 01:25:04,620
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: maliwanag talaga ito, to protect the interest,

1619
01:25:04,620 --> 01:25:06,620
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: not only of Mr. Alamada, but likewise,

1620
01:25:06,620 --> 01:25:09,620
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: those who will be facing the same predicament in the future.

1621
01:25:09,620 --> 01:25:13,620
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Maraming salamat po, Chair Garcia, dun po sa sagot ninyo.

1622
01:25:13,620 --> 01:25:17,620
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Maaaring makatulong po ito para doon sa pagresolba

1623
01:25:17,620 --> 01:25:20,620
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: sa mga ganitong usapin at sa mga susunod pang usapin.

1624
01:25:20,620 --> 01:25:23,620
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Mr. Chair, kaya ako lang naman po ito binibigyang din,

1625
01:25:23,620 --> 01:25:27,620
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: dahil mahalaga po na maipasok sa usapin ng eleksyon sa BARM,

1626
01:25:27,620 --> 01:25:30,620
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: ulit yung ongoing na peace negotiation

1627
01:25:30,620 --> 01:25:33,620
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: between the Government of the Republic of the Philippines

1628
01:25:33,620 --> 01:25:35,620
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: and the Bangsamoro people.

1629
01:25:35,620 --> 01:25:39,620
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, paramount po kasi yung usapin ng self-determination.

1630
01:25:39,620 --> 01:25:44,620
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: So, yun po ang tinitindigan natin na mapagpas siya dito sa usapin ito.

1631
01:25:44,620 --> 01:25:47,620
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Pero, I am satisfied po sa sagot po ni Chair Garcia.

1632
01:25:47,620 --> 01:25:50,620
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Maraming salamat po, Chair, at sa buong Comelec family.

1633
01:25:50,620 --> 01:25:52,620
Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chair, your Honor.

1634
01:25:52,620 --> 01:25:53,620

1635
01:25:53,620 --> 01:25:55,620
Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan: Thank you, Kong Eli.

1636
01:25:55,620 --> 01:25:56,620

01:26:01,620 --> 01:26:06,620
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: Magandang hapon po sa ating kagalang-galang na chairperson,

1640
01:26:06,620 --> 01:26:10,620
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: Chair Garcia, and the rest of the Comelec family.

1641
01:26:10,620 --> 01:26:13,620
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: So, may mga ano lang po ako concerned,

1642
01:26:13,620 --> 01:26:16,620
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: or mga questions po, katanungan, Mr. Chair.

1643
01:26:16,620 --> 01:26:23,620
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: Unahin ko muna po yung ating barangay NSK elections po sa November.

1644
01:26:23,620 --> 01:26:25,620
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: Kasi po,

1645
01:26:25,620 --> 01:26:27,970
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: ah,

1646
01:26:27,970 --> 01:26:33,970
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: according to Comelec, sinabi po nila, sinabi na around,

1647
01:26:33,970 --> 01:26:42,970
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: out of, around 8 billion of approximately 19 billion of the BSKE budget had already been spent.

1648
01:26:42,970 --> 01:26:47,970
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: With most of the balance intended for poll worker honorary training and development,

1649
01:26:47,970 --> 01:26:54,970
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: and another 2.5 to 3.5 billion could be required pag na-postpone po.

1650
01:26:54,970 --> 01:26:55,970
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: Ano na po ba yung status ngayon po dun sa,

1651
01:26:55,970 --> 01:27:01,970
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: preparation po, at yung ina-mention niyo po na 8 billion na nag-gastos niya na po?

1652
01:27:01,970 --> 01:27:08,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ah, lahat po ng mga kagamitan na gagamitin natin para sa barangay NSK elections noong November 2 ay nakahanda na.

1653
01:27:08,970 --> 01:27:10,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Lalong-lalo na po yung mga balota.

1654
01:27:10,970 --> 01:27:15,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: In fact, yung pong mga dagdag na balota, dahil nagkaroon po tayo ng dagdag na botante,

1655
01:27:15,970 --> 01:27:24,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: nagkaroon po tayo ng registration from October 20 to May 18 ng 2020, ah, 2027, ah, 2026,

1656
01:27:24,970 --> 01:27:29,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: and therefore, nagkaroon po tayo ng dagdag na, hindi po muna namin i-imprinta yun,

1657
01:27:29,970 --> 01:27:31,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ah, pero later on, ma-i-imprinta na namin.

1658
01:27:31,970 --> 01:27:37,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung pong mga iba pang dapat mag-procure, hindi po muna namin pinadeliver, pero nabili na rin po namin.

1659
01:27:37,970 --> 01:27:44,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So, ibig sabihin po, anytime, kahit po magpahold tayo ng election by next week, pwede namin isagawa ang barangay NSK.

1660
01:27:44,970 --> 01:27:48,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ang kulang po namin lang na major, as number one, yung po training ng mga guro.

1661
01:27:48,970 --> 01:27:53,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: We'll have to train the more or less 1 million teachers, ah, the members of the electoral board,

1662
01:27:53,970 --> 01:27:57,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: including the support staff, kasi po manual na election ang barangay NSK.

1663
01:27:57,970 --> 01:28:02,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And therefore, pati po yung mga DESO. And therefore, kailangan po namin ma-train sila.

1664
01:28:02,970 --> 01:28:07,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At ah, dahil po dyan, yun na lang po yung critical na kulang ni Commission on Election.

1665
01:28:07,970 --> 01:28:11,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung ballot boxes po, nakapag-procure kami ng dagdag na 70,000.

1666
01:28:11,970 --> 01:28:16,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At anytime, pwede po namin pa-deliver yun, tutal bakal naman po yung mga ballot boxes na yan.

1667
01:28:16,970 --> 01:28:22,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yun nga lang po, yung deployment, yun na lang po hinihintay natin para ma-deploy yung mga kagamitan natin.

1668
01:28:23,970 --> 01:28:28,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ah, kasi kaya po nagpasabi po ang inyong lingkod sa ating pong Kongreso,

1669
01:28:28,970 --> 01:28:32,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: nung magkaroon ng pagdinig dito po at sa mataas na kapulungan sa Senado,

1670
01:28:32,970 --> 01:28:35,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na baka po pwede naman bago po matapos ang buwan ng September,

1671
01:28:35,970 --> 01:28:39,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ay maging maliwanag kung talagang matutuloy o hindi ang halalan.

1672
01:28:39,970 --> 01:28:47,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At ah, ang nangyari naman po sa Senado kasi ay hindi po siya, ah, postponement

1673
01:28:47,970 --> 01:28:52,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kung hindi po, ah, fixing of the term from four years to five years.

1674
01:28:52,970 --> 01:28:57,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At dito po sa mababang kapulungan, nagkaroon na rin po ng pagdinig nung nakaraang linggo,

1675
01:28:57,970 --> 01:29:03,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ay term fixing na rin po ang dininig po ng local government committee.

1676
01:29:03,970 --> 01:29:06,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So yan po yung hinihintay namin sa kasalukuyan.

1677
01:29:06,970 --> 01:29:10,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So hopefully po, hanggang before third week na September, baka po maging maliwanag.

1678
01:29:10,970 --> 01:29:12,970
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: Mr. Chair, follow-up question po.

1679
01:29:12,970 --> 01:29:21,970
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: Doon sa 8 billion po na nagastos na po, how much was merely obligated versus magkano po yung paid and delivered?

1680
01:29:21,970 --> 01:29:27,970
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: Tapos in addition po, ito po bang na-procure nyo na or nagastos no?

1681
01:29:27,970 --> 01:29:33,970
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: Can it still be used for next year's election if it will be postponed next year?

1682
01:29:33,970 --> 01:29:36,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: More or less po, Mr. Chair, ang earmark natin is 4 billion.

1683
01:29:36,970 --> 01:29:43,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At ang ating naman din pong obligated, more or less din po, 3.9, 4 billion na rin po halos ang obligated natin.

1684
01:29:43,970 --> 01:29:49,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So all in all po, 8 billion, 3 million ang atin pong obligated at saka earmark na amount.

1685
01:29:51,970 --> 01:29:59,970
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At yan naman po, para po doon sa mga nakikinig at nakamonitor sa atin, lahat naman po yun ay magagamit.

1686
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:05,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kung sakaling hindi matuloy ang ating halalan sa 26 November 2.

1687
01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:11,180
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: Okay po. So thank you po, Mr. Chair.

1688
01:30:12,040 --> 01:30:20,520
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: On my second point, kasi po nagkaroon po recently ng election sa Das Marinas in Cavite.

1689
01:30:22,400 --> 01:30:26,120
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: And according to news article in your report,

1690
01:30:26,120 --> 01:30:34,180
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: from your supposed 200 million budget, napababa niyo po ng 128 million.

1691
01:30:34,820 --> 01:30:41,980
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: Plus, meron pa pong contribution yung ating LGU na around 50 million po.

1692
01:30:42,340 --> 01:30:43,260
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: Tama po ba yan, Mr. Chair?

1693
01:30:44,240 --> 01:30:45,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Tama po kayo, Mr. Chair.

1694
01:30:46,300 --> 01:30:52,580
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Napakalaking tulong po yung in advance sa amin po ng local government unit ng Das Marinas Cavite.

1695
01:30:52,580 --> 01:30:55,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Gusto ko lang din pong sabihin for record purposes.

1696
01:30:56,120 --> 01:31:00,520
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Na ang omnibus election code under Section 10 ay nagsasabi na si Comelec,

1697
01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:02,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: and that is a 1985 law.

1698
01:31:03,100 --> 01:31:05,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Whether we agree with that or not, it's a 1985 law.

1699
01:31:05,840 --> 01:31:12,260
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Sabi po, the Comelec can ask the local government unit to advance expenses that will be incurred

1700
01:31:12,260 --> 01:31:14,640
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: for purposes of the conduct of any special election.

1701
01:31:15,100 --> 01:31:16,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung po yung ginawa sa atin.

1702
01:31:16,760 --> 01:31:21,440
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At this point po, Mr. Chair, hindi naman po namin po mababayaran o maibabalik sa LGU

1703
01:31:21,440 --> 01:31:24,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sapagkat kinakailangan po muna may pumasok na savings.

1704
01:31:24,500 --> 01:31:26,100
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: E base po sa desisyon.

1705
01:31:26,120 --> 01:31:31,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ang Supreme Court sa atin sa DAP cases, savings can only be incurred kapag po natapos na ang year.

1706
01:31:32,420 --> 01:31:35,140
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And therefore, sa ngayon, wala pa po kami savings para maibalik.

1707
01:31:35,520 --> 01:31:42,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Napakalaking tulong po yun sapagkat ginamit po namin yung 50 million sa pagpapabigay ng onorarya sa ating mga guro.

1708
01:31:42,480 --> 01:31:47,580
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And for the information likewise of the body, for the second time in the history of the Commission,

1709
01:31:47,980 --> 01:31:52,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: on the night of the election, nabayaran po namin ang lahat ng mga guro na nagsilbi sa election.

1710
01:31:52,880 --> 01:31:56,100
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Una na po ang antipolo dito po sa Das Marinas.

1711
01:31:56,120 --> 01:31:58,240
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi po kami naghintay ng 15 days.

1712
01:31:58,340 --> 01:32:01,540
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: On the same night, nagbayad na rin po kami sa mga guro.

1713
01:32:01,680 --> 01:32:04,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So again, that is still subject to reimbursement.

1714
01:32:04,460 --> 01:32:06,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yan naman po yung exact wordings ng batas natin.

1715
01:32:07,520 --> 01:32:08,900
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: That's very good to hear.

1716
01:32:09,020 --> 01:32:13,260
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: Actually, hindi rin po aware na it was an advance.

1717
01:32:13,820 --> 01:32:17,480
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: Meaning, babayaran nyo ulit, pabalik.

1718
01:32:17,760 --> 01:32:18,280
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: Tama po yan.

1719
01:32:18,640 --> 01:32:19,560
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: Tama po, Mr. Chair.

1720
01:32:20,440 --> 01:32:22,280
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: But is it common practice po?

1721
01:32:22,280 --> 01:32:24,440
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: I know you mentioned na nasa batas po yan.

1722
01:32:24,580 --> 01:32:26,000
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: Pero, is that common?

1723
01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:33,120
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: Is it common practice na ang LGU, pag nagkakaroon po ng vacancy, nag-a-advance po?

1724
01:32:33,780 --> 01:32:41,880
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: And wala po bang, siyempre may mga nag-raise po ng issue na since yung tumakbo is part of the LGU,

1725
01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:44,560
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: there's some sort of conflict of interest.

1726
01:32:45,080 --> 01:32:46,000
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: Can you, ano po, expand?

1727
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:47,200
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

1728
01:32:47,340 --> 01:32:50,600
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Actually po, may mga nag-question, especially sa social media.

1729
01:32:51,160 --> 01:32:55,260
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Lalo na po sa part ng local government unit, hindi naman po sa part ni Comel.

1730
01:32:55,260 --> 01:32:56,100
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kasi, sinabi ko,

1731
01:32:56,120 --> 01:33:01,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sabi namin, ang pag-gastos ng kahit anong item, kami ang may final say, kami ang may desisyon,

1732
01:33:01,820 --> 01:33:04,120
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: hindi yung nagbigay na local government unit.

1733
01:33:04,200 --> 01:33:07,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ito po yung pangatlong pagkakataon na ang Comelic ay nabigyan ng advance.

1734
01:33:08,420 --> 01:33:10,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Katulad po, yan nangyari na po yung sa Campostela Valley,

1735
01:33:11,340 --> 01:33:14,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: nagkaroon din po ng ganyang special election.

1736
01:33:14,180 --> 01:33:16,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At nangyari na rin po ito, dyan po sa Cavite,

1737
01:33:17,440 --> 01:33:21,120
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: nung pong mabakantihan ang posisyon ni dating congressman,

1738
01:33:21,780 --> 01:33:24,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ngayon ay ombudsman, Boying Remulia.

1739
01:33:24,880 --> 01:33:26,080
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Nung siya po yung matalaga.

1740
01:33:26,120 --> 01:33:31,220
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Bilang Secretary of Justice, kami po ay tinulungan din ng Provincial Government of Cavite

1741
01:33:31,220 --> 01:33:34,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: at kami po ay nakapagbalik naman ng pondo rin po sa kanila.

1742
01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:40,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So, hindi po ito extraordinary or unusual sapagkat nasa batas.

1743
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:46,540
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Sabi nga po namin, maaaring hindi lang nari-research ng lahat yung provision po yun ng batas.

1744
01:33:47,060 --> 01:33:50,200
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ang pinaka-importante po, Mr. Chair, yung desisyon ng Korte Suprema

1745
01:33:50,200 --> 01:33:53,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa Hagedorn versus the House of Representatives.

1746
01:33:54,240 --> 01:33:56,040
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Sa pagkat, nagkaroon po nang,

1747
01:33:56,120 --> 01:34:00,680
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: nagpagbabago ng prinsipyo at ang mismong Korte Suprema.

1748
01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:05,180
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Nung una po, si Comelec ay hindi mag-hold ng kahit na anong special election.

1749
01:34:05,980 --> 01:34:11,380
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kahit pa may namatay, o nag-resign, o natanggal na membro ng House of Representatives.

1750
01:34:11,640 --> 01:34:15,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kung walang, number one, declaration of vacancy by the House of Representatives.

1751
01:34:16,300 --> 01:34:18,420
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Number two, call for a special election.

1752
01:34:18,420 --> 01:34:20,340
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kung natatandaan po natin, Mr. Chair,

1753
01:34:20,340 --> 01:34:28,140
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: at ang tinangga po ni Secretary Gatchalian, Rex Gatchalian, ang posisyon ng DSWD.

1754
01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:31,080
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Dati po siyang Congresswoman ng Valenzuela.

1755
01:34:31,680 --> 01:34:35,580
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Subalit, hindi po nagkaroon na special election sa pagkat ng congressman

1756
01:34:35,580 --> 01:34:39,200
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sapagkat hindi po nagpatawag ang kongreso at that time.

1757
01:34:39,280 --> 01:34:42,240
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Namatay po si Congressman Salvame ng Palawan.

1758
01:34:42,780 --> 01:34:45,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi po nagpatawag ang mababang kapulungan

1759
01:34:45,500 --> 01:34:49,400
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: pero diniklara po ng mababang kapulungan o vacant ang posisyon.

1760
01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:54,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Dito po sa kaso ni Haguidoin ay hindi po kami nag-hold ng election,

1761
01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:58,280
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng special election, sapagkat wala pong deklarasyon ng House of Representatives.

1762
01:34:58,900 --> 01:35:01,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Wala rin pong pagpapatawag ng special election.

1763
01:35:02,280 --> 01:35:05,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Subalit, dinala po ng pamilya ng yumaong Congressman Haguidoin

1764
01:35:05,660 --> 01:35:07,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang issue sa Korte Suprema.

1765
01:35:07,560 --> 01:35:09,240
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At ang sabi ng Korte Suprema, number one,

1766
01:35:09,700 --> 01:35:11,420
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: hindi kinakailangang umasa ni Comelec

1767
01:35:11,420 --> 01:35:14,680
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa kahit na anong declaration of vacancy by the House of Representatives.

1768
01:35:15,240 --> 01:35:18,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Number two, dapat kung walang budget,

1769
01:35:18,160 --> 01:35:23,400
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ay gawa ng paraan ni Comelec na mahanapan ng budget ang special election.

1770
01:35:23,660 --> 01:35:27,120
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Number three, dapat gawin ang special election 30 days

1771
01:35:27,120 --> 01:35:31,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: or not more than, not earlier than 60 days from the vacancy

1772
01:35:31,500 --> 01:35:34,760
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: but not later than 90 days after the vacancy.

1773
01:35:35,160 --> 01:35:38,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At pwedeng umasa lang si Comelec sa social media,

1774
01:35:39,060 --> 01:35:44,180
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa television report, newspaper reports, or sa radio reports.

1775
01:35:44,560 --> 01:35:45,600
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yun na po ang basihan namin.

1776
01:35:45,600 --> 01:35:47,600
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Meaning, mandatory.

1777
01:35:48,160 --> 01:35:50,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: For the Comelec to call for a special election.

1778
01:35:50,820 --> 01:35:52,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kaya nga po, kanina rin po, Mr. Chair,

1779
01:35:53,200 --> 01:35:58,180
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: I respectfully, I called the attention of the members of the House of Representatives.

1780
01:35:58,780 --> 01:36:00,920
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 11 million po laging binibigay sa amin.

1781
01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:03,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: To conduct an election,

1782
01:36:03,900 --> 01:36:05,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: pag hindi po kakayanin ng 11 million lang,

1783
01:36:05,940 --> 01:36:07,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: pang barangay lang po talaga yun,

1784
01:36:07,200 --> 01:36:07,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: but just the same,

1785
01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:10,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sabi namin, baka po pwedeng mataasa na

1786
01:36:10,800 --> 01:36:14,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: because ngayon po, hindi na po magpapatawag ang House.

1787
01:36:14,020 --> 01:36:16,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Si Comelec na lang po ang obligado

1788
01:36:16,660 --> 01:36:18,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na mag-call for a special election.

1789
01:36:18,160 --> 01:36:20,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Mr. Chair, just to be clear,

1790
01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:22,160
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: ito pong 128 million,

1791
01:36:22,160 --> 01:36:24,160
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: ano po yung line item natin?

1792
01:36:24,160 --> 01:36:26,160
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: Saan po kinuha ng Comelec yan?

1793
01:36:26,160 --> 01:36:28,160
Rep. Jan "Atty. JP" Padiernos: Yung po sa mga supplies po namin,

1794
01:36:28,160 --> 01:36:30,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung po mga natira naming savings

1795
01:36:30,160 --> 01:36:32,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng mga nakakaraang taon,

1796
01:36:32,160 --> 01:36:34,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: at pagkatapos po,

1797
01:36:34,160 --> 01:36:36,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung pong nasaved,

1798
01:36:36,160 --> 01:36:38,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung mga nag-recycle din po kami, Mr. Chair.

1799
01:36:38,160 --> 01:36:40,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Katulad ng ipinaliwanag namin kanina,

1800
01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:42,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung mga indelible ink recycled po lahat syon.

1801
01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:44,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kahit po yung mga forms,

1802
01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:46,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: at saka po yung mga thumbprint taker,

1803
01:36:46,160 --> 01:36:47,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: hindi po kami bumili po ngayon.

1804
01:36:47,780 --> 01:36:49,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi po kami bumili ng mga whatever

1805
01:36:49,780 --> 01:36:51,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kasi nga po wala kaming budget.

1806
01:36:51,780 --> 01:36:53,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ang malaking component po noon, Mr. Chair,

1807
01:36:53,780 --> 01:36:55,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa 128 ay ang honoraria ng teachers.

1808
01:36:55,780 --> 01:36:57,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Meron po tayo sa Dasmariñas Cavite

1809
01:36:57,780 --> 01:36:59,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na 447,000 voters.

1810
01:36:59,780 --> 01:37:01,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: We have more or less

1811
01:37:01,780 --> 01:37:05,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 1,313 na precincts

1812
01:37:05,780 --> 01:37:07,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa buong Dasmariñas

1813
01:37:07,780 --> 01:37:09,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: and therefore,

1814
01:37:09,780 --> 01:37:11,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: meron po tayong kulang-kulang

1815
01:37:11,780 --> 01:37:13,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 10,000 na mga guro

1816
01:37:13,780 --> 01:37:15,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kasama ang mga deso

1817
01:37:15,780 --> 01:37:17,780

01:51:22,900 --> 01:51:25,140

2235
01:51:25,140 --> 01:51:27,140
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: honorarium

2236
01:51:27,140 --> 01:51:28,780

Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay,

2240
01:51:34,180 --> 01:51:39,780
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tuloy dapat ang barangay election at mga teachers ang magsaserve dito November na yan.

2241
01:51:40,100 --> 01:51:46,500
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pero alam din natin gumagalaw na ang Kongreso at Senado para i-postpone na naman ito.

2242
01:51:46,500 --> 01:52:02,340
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: However, nagkakaisa po ang kinatawang ito, ang ACT teachers at si Chair Garcia sa pangangailangan itaas natin yung honorarium ng mga teachers at iba pang election workers.

2243
01:52:02,340 --> 01:52:13,140
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So para malinaw po, magkano po ba ang meron kayong panukala? Magkano na yung panukala natin ng mga increase para sa election service workers natin?

2244
01:52:14,200 --> 01:52:18,960
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Maraming salamat Mr. Chair. Sa kasalukuyan po nagdagdag tayo ng 2,000 piso across the board.

2245
01:52:19,100 --> 01:52:27,660

2246
01:52:27,660 --> 01:52:32,320

2248
01:52:36,040 --> 01:52:42,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Naniniwala po tayo, tama po, because of the crisis that we are experiencing right now, talaga naman po kailangan ng mga guro ng dagdag.

2249
01:52:43,520 --> 01:52:49,380
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kaya yung pinopropose po, masyado lang po talagang malaki yung 15,000 pesos per teacher.

2250
01:52:49,700 --> 01:52:55,320
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Siguro po yung 15,000 sa chairman, 14,000 sa vice chairman at saka 13,000 sa miembro.

2251
01:52:55,640 --> 01:52:58,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: That's also, that's very reasonable kung tutuusin po.

2252
01:52:58,020 --> 01:52:59,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Mabigyan lang po tayo ng budget.

2253
01:52:59,900 --> 01:53:03,220
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kasi naman po, mas mahirap ang barangay ng SK election, Mr. Chair.

2254
01:53:03,760 --> 01:53:07,100
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Bakit po mas mahirap? Binibilang po manually ang balota.

2255
01:53:07,680 --> 01:53:15,320
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Doon nga po sa Dasmariñas na isa lang ang kandidato, ang isa lang ang mananalo at lima ang kandidato,

2256
01:53:15,760 --> 01:53:22,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: inabot na rin po sila na mga hanggang 9 o'clock ng gabi at magteteng pa nga po bago ma-deliver yung mga gamit.

2257
01:53:22,780 --> 01:53:27,280
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So meaning to say, paano pa po sa isang barangay ng SK na may SK ka na may barangay ka pa.

2258
01:53:27,280 --> 01:53:29,280
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So abutin po eh na hanggang...

2259
01:53:29,900 --> 01:53:31,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Tapos iba pa po yung pag-deliver.

2260
01:53:31,900 --> 01:53:36,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So kami po, sumusuporta kami sa mataas, sa pagtataas ng onorarya po ng ating mga...

2261
01:53:36,900 --> 01:53:41,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung pong ating pong service incentive leave na napakatagal ng batas na naan dyan, 5 days.

2262
01:53:41,900 --> 01:53:46,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ginawa po natin 10 days sa pamagitan din po ng pagsususog ng ACT-T Church.

2263
01:53:46,900 --> 01:53:48,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ginawa po natin 10 araw yan.

2264
01:53:48,900 --> 01:53:52,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At ngayon po, ginawa na rin po na inyong commission na only na po yun.

2265
01:53:52,900 --> 01:53:54,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Wala pong expiry date.

2266
01:53:54,900 --> 01:53:59,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi po katulad ng dati na expired lang siya or can be used only within the same year.

2267
01:53:59,660 --> 01:54:02,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kung saan po na-entitled yung mga guru natin.

2268
01:54:02,660 --> 01:54:04,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay. Ngayon, so...

2269
01:54:04,660 --> 01:54:05,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Again, Chair.

2270
01:54:05,660 --> 01:54:12,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kung matuloy yung eleksyon, magkano ang budget para sa onorarium?

2271
01:54:13,660 --> 01:54:19,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Noong po kasing nagbigay ng dagdag na 1,000 pesos ang ating Pangulo, natatandaan po natin noong nakaraang halalan,

2272
01:54:19,660 --> 01:54:26,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ay nagbigay po sila ng more or less 1 billion para lang po doon sa lahat ng mga guru natin.

2273
01:54:26,660 --> 01:54:28,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So more or less po kung hanggang 15,000 niya.

2274
01:54:28,660 --> 01:54:34,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Sa ating pong palagay, mga hanggang 2 to 2.5 billion pesos.

2275
01:54:34,660 --> 01:54:37,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay. So kailangan natin ng...

2276
01:54:37,660 --> 01:54:46,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Para mataas natin to 15,000 para sa chair ng BEI at 14 para sa mga members and so on,

2277
01:54:46,660 --> 01:54:54,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay kailangan nyo ng kabuoang 2.5, 2 to 2.5 billion pesos.

2278
01:54:54,660 --> 01:54:55,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Nagdagdag?

2279
01:54:55,660 --> 01:54:57,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yes po. Yes po, Mr. Chair.

2280
01:54:57,660 --> 01:55:01,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Para lang po sa increase in the onorary of the teachers.

2281
01:55:01,660 --> 01:55:06,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay. For increase, kailangan ng 2 to 2.5 billion.

2282
01:55:06,660 --> 01:55:11,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pwede po bang mas i-formalize natin yung amount?

2283
01:55:11,660 --> 01:55:18,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Baka pwedeng makahingi tayo ng data and position paper.

2284
01:55:18,660 --> 01:55:26,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Lalo pa, ang position natin, malinaw, dapat matuloy ang eleksyon, pero kung di matuloy ang barangay election at ma-postpone,

2285
01:55:27,660 --> 01:55:31,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay haharapin pa rin itong usapin ng onorarium ng mga teachers.

2286
01:55:31,660 --> 01:55:41,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So mas mabuti pa na pondohan na ito sa susunod na budget, sa budget proposal for 2027.

2287
01:55:41,660 --> 01:55:51,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: So kung maaari po ay magbigay po sa committee nung magkano yun. May binanggit kayo 2 to 2.5 billion. Ipirmina po natin kung maaari po.

2288
01:55:51,660 --> 01:55:56,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yes po, Mr. Chair. In fact, sa 2027 budget proposal, ilalagay na po namin yun.

2289
01:55:56,660 --> 01:56:03,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Para mali bang po sa sulat namin sa committee on appropriation, kahit sa Committee on Suffrage and Electoral Reforms,

2290
01:56:03,660 --> 01:56:10,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: lalagay na rin po natin yan sa proposal so that pag nag-defend kami ng budget sa DBM, that will now be included.

2291
01:56:10,660 --> 01:56:15,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At sana po masuportahan kami doon, doon sa nagdag na onoraryo natin sa mga guro.

2292
01:56:15,660 --> 01:56:25,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay, so thank you. Yan lang po. Sana po maisubmit nyo na sa committee para matiyak, I am sure, susuportahan po ng ating Vice Chair.

2293
01:56:26,660 --> 01:56:28,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tama po ba, Vice Chair?

2294
01:56:28,660 --> 01:56:29,660
Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan: Yes po.

2295
01:56:29,660 --> 01:56:35,660
Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Ayan, malinaw. Narinig natin. So kaya antayin po natin yung inyong submission. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

2296
01:56:35,660 --> 01:56:37,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Maraming salamat po.

2297
01:56:37,660 --> 01:56:39,660
Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan: ...

2298
01:56:39,660 --> 01:56:46,660
Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan: Thank you, Cong Antonio Tino. Next in line, Representative John Tracy Cagas.

2299
01:56:46,660 --> 01:56:54,660
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: Thank you, Mr. Chair. Magandang hapon po sa ating mga kagalang-galang na membro ng Commission on Election.

2300
01:56:54,660 --> 01:57:13,230
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: Lalo na kaya Chair Garcia. I have a few questions. Sa binigay ninyong briefer, nakalagay kasi dito yung printing of ballot forms and voter information sheets.

2301
01:57:13,230 --> 01:57:24,230
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: So yung mga impact. So from 3.28 billion proposed, ang lumabas sa NEP is only 348 million.

2302
01:57:24,230 --> 01:57:35,230
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: So may reduction at 2.93 billion. So ang impact, no ballots, walang voters list, or secure production facility.

2303
01:57:35,230 --> 01:57:54,860
Rep. John Tracy F. Cagas: So kung ganon, kung walang balota, walang eleksyon, ano yung ano, I want to, bakit nasabi mo ito na kung hindi ito mapunduhan, this will be the impact.

2304
01:57:55,860 --> 01:58:05,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chair. Kung sakali po, meron pa naman po kaming pagkakataon for the 2028 budget, which will be by next year.

2305
01:58:05,860 --> 01:58:14,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kaya lang po, ipit na po yun sapagkat, ibig sabihin lang po yan, kung idadagdag sa amin yung nawala po sa amin na 2.94 billion pesos,

2306
01:58:14,860 --> 01:58:24,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ibig sabihin po, Mr. Chair, kung yan ay ilalagay para sa 2028 budget, therefore, makakapag-start lang kami ng printing, even perhaps the procurement process,

2307
01:58:24,860 --> 01:58:34,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa mismong 2028 na po, January, kasi doon palang papasok ang 2028 ga'a. Eh kakapusin na po kami doon, Mr. Chair, kasi po ganito po yun.

2308
01:58:34,860 --> 01:58:50,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung po mga papel natin ay hindi po si Comelec na ang bumibili. Yung papel ng mga balota natin, 160 GSM po yun, ang kapal. Wala pong available sa Pilipinas na 160 GSM. Ang available po sa Pilipinas ay 100 GSM.

2309
01:58:50,860 --> 01:58:52,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So sure po yan, na yan ay import, mag-iimport.

2310
01:58:54,860 --> 01:59:04,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ang National Printing Office, kasi nakabundle po sa kanila, hindi lang yung printing services kasama po yung papel na gagamitin sa balota.

2311
01:59:04,860 --> 01:59:14,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Therefore po, magpo-procure din si NPO, hindi naman po siya pwedeng basta nalang bumili sapagkat government agency rin po ang National Printing Office.

2312
01:59:14,860 --> 01:59:23,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Magpo-procure din po siya ng papel na gagamitin sa printing. Eh tanong po, kailan po magpo-procure si NPO sa 2028 din?

2313
01:59:23,860 --> 01:59:33,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi naman po sila pwede mag-procure na mas maaga dahil wala pang kasiguraduhan si Comelec na yung budget namin ay yun na ibibigay sa amin for the 2028 election.

2314
01:59:33,860 --> 01:59:40,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So domino effect po yun, Mr. Chair. Wala pong papel, walang printing. Walang printing, wala kakagadbalota.

2315
01:59:40,860 --> 01:59:45,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Dangerous din po sa part natin, and this is again with all due respect to the highest court of the land.

2316
01:59:45,860 --> 01:59:51,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kasi nga po, laging merong magpa-file ng kaso na kinansal namin ang kanyang certification.

2317
01:59:51,860 --> 01:59:59,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Di disqualify namin, dineclare naming reasons. Lagi pong may pupunta sa...

2318
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:00,920
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Korte Suprema

2319
02:00:00,920 --> 02:00:03,720
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: upang questionin ang aksyon

2320
02:00:03,720 --> 02:00:05,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ni Comelec. Kung kami po

2321
02:00:05,900 --> 02:00:07,680
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ay magpapaimprinta ng January

2322
02:00:07,680 --> 02:00:09,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: dahil doon lang po yung budget natin sa

2323
02:00:09,460 --> 02:00:12,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 2028, biglang may nag-issue

2324
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:13,060
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng TRO ngayon

2325
02:00:13,060 --> 02:00:16,080
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: for national candidate. Remember po,

2326
02:00:16,120 --> 02:00:17,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: may President, Vice President.

2327
02:00:18,480 --> 02:00:19,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pag may diniclare po doon

2328
02:00:19,900 --> 02:00:21,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na hindi dapat diniclare

2329
02:00:21,780 --> 02:00:23,720
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na nuwisans, kung may napiprint

2330
02:00:23,720 --> 02:00:25,640
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na po kami ng 20 million, we'll have to

2331
02:00:25,640 --> 02:00:26,540
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: reprint ang new

2332
02:00:26,540 --> 02:00:29,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: the ballots because wala yung

2333
02:00:29,740 --> 02:00:31,240
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: pangalan ng kandidatong yun.

2334
02:00:31,580 --> 02:00:33,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: We'll have to include the name of that candidate.

2335
02:00:34,060 --> 02:00:35,560
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Samantalang, kung mas maaga po kami

2336
02:00:35,560 --> 02:00:37,560
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: nag-imprinta o mag-iimprinta, una

2337
02:00:37,560 --> 02:00:39,440
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: mapoprocure na kaagad ni NPO

2338
02:00:39,440 --> 02:00:41,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung mga papel na gagamitin.

2339
02:00:42,360 --> 02:00:43,340
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Mga 3,000

2340
02:00:43,340 --> 02:00:45,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ano po yun, rolls

2341
02:00:45,500 --> 02:00:46,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng papel, ganun po kadami.

2342
02:00:47,380 --> 02:00:49,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Mga 3,000 rolls ng papel ang ginagamit natin.

2343
02:00:50,260 --> 02:00:50,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ngayon po,

2344
02:00:51,340 --> 02:00:53,180
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: i-warehouse din nila yun

2345
02:00:53,180 --> 02:00:55,240
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kasi po yung papel naman, hindi rin pwedeng

2346
02:00:55,240 --> 02:00:56,200
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: bilihin na mas maaga.

2347
02:00:56,880 --> 02:00:59,400
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Nagdi-discolor po, may discoloration po yan.

2348
02:00:59,740 --> 02:01:01,380
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Tapos nagkakaroon po ng parang

2349
02:01:01,380 --> 02:01:02,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: mga

2350
02:01:02,460 --> 02:01:05,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: nagiging madumi

2351
02:01:05,800 --> 02:01:07,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung papel. So mako-compromise

2352
02:01:07,740 --> 02:01:09,440
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kasi po, we have to

2353
02:01:09,440 --> 02:01:11,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: understand, yung papel dapat tinatanggap

2354
02:01:11,460 --> 02:01:13,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng makina. Pag nireject

2355
02:01:13,480 --> 02:01:15,280
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: po yung papel ng makina because

2356
02:01:15,280 --> 02:01:17,680
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: of discoloration, because na-compromise

2357
02:01:17,680 --> 02:01:19,240
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung integrity, hindi na po

2358
02:01:19,240 --> 02:01:21,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: mabibilang yung boto. So, yan po

2359
02:01:21,360 --> 02:01:23,540
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung budget tungkol sa printing,

2360
02:01:24,160 --> 02:01:26,180
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: it's actually

2361
02:01:26,180 --> 02:01:26,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: highlighting

2362
02:01:26,880 --> 02:01:29,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na may mga other peripherals.

2363
02:01:29,740 --> 02:01:31,060
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Other activities

2364
02:01:31,060 --> 02:01:33,040
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na kinakailangan po

2365
02:01:33,040 --> 02:01:35,180
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na magawa, even prior

2366
02:01:35,180 --> 02:01:37,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: to the actual printing of the

2367
02:01:37,160 --> 02:01:39,520
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ballots, Mr. Chair. So, yung 2.9

2368
02:01:39,520 --> 02:01:40,540
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: po is critical.

2369
02:01:41,380 --> 02:01:43,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At yung po yung gusto namin sabihin, it's

2370
02:01:43,020 --> 02:01:44,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: really so critical because otherwise

2371
02:01:44,880 --> 02:01:47,040
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: we'll be compelled to print

2372
02:01:47,040 --> 02:01:49,260
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: the 74 million ballots

2373
02:01:49,260 --> 02:01:51,100
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: including the voters

2374
02:01:51,100 --> 02:01:53,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: information sheets, which is mandatory

2375
02:01:53,020 --> 02:01:55,320
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: because nasa batas po yung voters information sheets.

2376
02:01:55,940 --> 02:01:57,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: The election

2377
02:01:57,300 --> 02:01:59,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: day computerized voters list, yung pinipirmahan

2435
02:03:55,330 --> 02:03:57,510

2436
02:03:57,610 --> 02:03:59,530
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: otherwise, magbabago pa ang presyo,

2437
02:03:59,530 --> 02:04:01,330

2445
02:04:15,650 --> 02:04:17,350
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sapagkat madami po kami

2446

02:12:22,510 --> 02:12:24,350
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi kami po talaga pwedeng

2690
02:12:24,350 --> 02:12:26,410

2695
02:12:33,970 --> 02:12:36,190
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: why? So long as there is a law,

2696
02:12:36,490 --> 02:12:38,270
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: we have to comply with the law.

2704

2705
02:12:54,690 --> 02:12:56,430
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na mag-anticipate ng mga ganyang bagay.

2778
02:15:18,560 --> 02:15:20,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng mga gamit. So 8 billion po.

2779
02:15:21,100 --> 02:15:22,200
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Kahit po yung ink, Mr. Chair, kahit yung

2780
02:15:22,200 --> 02:15:24,200
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ink, di siya magdadry if in case

2781
02:15:24,200 --> 02:15:26,480
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: nakatambak lang. Magdadry po

02:15:30,360 --> 02:15:32,440
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: nag-ibang kulay. Especially

2785
02:15:32,440 --> 02:15:34,280
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kapag dito po sa atin

2786
02:15:34,280 --> 02:15:36,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kasi sa Pilipinas, kapag ka mainit

2787
02:15:36,460 --> 02:15:37,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: nagiging puti na siya.

2788
02:15:38,180 --> 02:15:40,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi na siya yung black. And therefore

2789
02:15:40,000 --> 02:15:41,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: mako-compromise na po yung integrity

2790
02:15:41,620 --> 02:15:44,060
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: at quality ng mismong gamit.

2791
02:15:44,060 --> 02:15:45,720
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kaya ayaw namin pa-deliver para at least

2792
02:15:45,720 --> 02:15:47,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: i-warehouse muna nung mag-supplier.

2793
02:15:48,080 --> 02:15:49,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Tutal, meron naman silang maayos na

2795
02:15:52,300 --> 02:15:53,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So i-warehouse muna nila para

2796
02:15:53,980 --> 02:15:55,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kung magbago man lang, mag-discolor man siya,

2797
02:15:56,280 --> 02:15:57,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: mag-expire man siya, sagot niya po

2798
02:15:57,980 --> 02:15:59,580
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yun. Hindi sagot ni Comelec.

2799
02:16:00,120 --> 02:16:01,520
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Sila ang magbabago po doon.

2800
02:16:01,640 --> 02:16:03,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Therefore, wala po kaming babayaran.

2801
02:16:03,660 --> 02:16:05,800
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So Mr. Chair, to clarify, 8 billion yung

2828
02:16:57,980 --> 02:16:59,660

2829
02:16:59,660 --> 02:17:01,140
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: preparasyon, itong halala.

2830
02:17:01,140 --> 02:17:03,440
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: May nagastos na po, Mr. Chair, sapagkat

2831
02:17:03,440 --> 02:17:05,760
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: pag nagpiprint po tayo ng balota sa sobrang

2832
02:17:05,760 --> 02:17:07,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: dami po, nag-hire po ang

2833
02:17:07,460 --> 02:17:09,820
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: comilic na mahigit 1,000 na casual employees.

2834
02:17:10,300 --> 02:17:11,380
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pinasweldo na po namin yung

2835
02:17:11,380 --> 02:17:13,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: pinag-overtime na rin po yun. Kahit yung mga

2836
02:17:13,500 --> 02:17:15,560
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: tauhan namin na involved sa preparation,

2837
02:17:15,780 --> 02:17:17,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: naka-overtime na po lahat ng yun.

2838
02:17:18,200 --> 02:17:19,580
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ang overtime po ng komisyon

2839
02:17:19,580 --> 02:17:21,640
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng election on a monthly basis is almost

2840
02:17:21,640 --> 02:17:23,540
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 200 million pesos.

2841
02:17:23,680 --> 02:17:25,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And therefore, kung nag-overtime po kami

2842
02:17:25,740 --> 02:17:27,960
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: for the last 6 months in preparation,

2843
02:17:27,980 --> 02:17:29,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: for the BSK of November 2,

2844
02:17:30,040 --> 02:17:31,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: that's already 1.2 billion pesos.

2845
02:17:32,420 --> 02:17:34,140
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So, pangang 1.2 billion pesos

2846
02:17:34,140 --> 02:17:35,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na ang nagasta, at may 8 billion

2847
02:17:35,820 --> 02:17:38,560
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na maaaring magasta na

2848
02:17:38,560 --> 02:17:39,880
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: kung tutuloy-tuloy,

2849
02:17:40,060 --> 02:17:42,580
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: pero naka-hold at least yung 8 billion na yun.

2850
02:17:42,740 --> 02:17:43,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi po. Yung 8 billion,

2851
02:17:43,980 --> 02:17:45,840
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yan na po yung obligated at saka po.

2852
02:17:47,260 --> 02:17:47,960
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Apo, so,

2853
02:17:48,360 --> 02:17:50,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: earmark. So, yun na po, more or less.

2854
02:17:51,260 --> 02:17:52,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi na po yan

2855
02:17:52,160 --> 02:17:53,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: at man natin mababalik. Kinakailan

2856
02:17:53,980 --> 02:17:56,280
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: magbayad na tayo later sa mga yan.

2857
02:17:56,280 --> 02:17:57,540
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Okay. Mr. Chair,

2858
02:17:57,980 --> 02:18:00,180
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: I understand yung essentially

2859
02:18:00,180 --> 02:18:02,200
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: yung caveat from the

2860
02:18:02,200 --> 02:18:03,540
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Comelec na dahil

2861
02:18:03,540 --> 02:18:05,520
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: sila po ang

2862
02:18:05,520 --> 02:18:07,980
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: tagapamahala ng halalan ay

2863
02:18:07,980 --> 02:18:09,480
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: hindi maaaring makapagbitaw ng

2864
02:18:09,480 --> 02:18:12,240
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: political statement, pero sa bahagi po

2865
02:18:12,240 --> 02:18:13,740
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ng kinatawan na to,

2866
02:18:14,220 --> 02:18:16,020
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: I think, pwede tayong

2867
02:18:16,020 --> 02:18:18,040
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: magbitaw ng mga political statements sa atin.

2868
02:18:18,160 --> 02:18:20,160
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Sayang ang pera

2869
02:18:20,160 --> 02:18:22,060
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na ilaan na sa

2870
02:18:22,060 --> 02:18:24,340
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Comelec sa nagdaang taon.

2871
02:18:24,960 --> 02:18:25,960
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Kung hindi

2872
02:18:25,960 --> 02:18:27,960
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: matutuloy yung BSKE election,

2873
02:18:27,980 --> 02:18:29,900
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: sa taon na to.

2874
02:18:30,540 --> 02:18:32,000
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: And beyond that,

2875
02:18:32,120 --> 02:18:33,880
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: meron pa tayong mga iba pang issues

2876
02:18:33,880 --> 02:18:35,140
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: gaya ng kung paano

2877
02:18:35,140 --> 02:18:38,440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na-exercise, na panghahawakan yung right to suffrage

2878
02:18:38,440 --> 02:18:39,660
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ng mga mayan

2879
02:18:39,660 --> 02:18:41,960
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: kung pinapostpone-postpone

2880
02:18:41,960 --> 02:18:43,960
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ang halalan, if ever

2881
02:18:43,960 --> 02:18:45,680
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: this will be postponed again,

2882
02:18:46,100 --> 02:18:48,120
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: it will be the second time

2883
02:18:48,120 --> 02:18:50,440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na mapostpone yung BSKE elections,

2884
02:18:50,940 --> 02:18:52,640
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ang studies natin,

2885
02:18:52,720 --> 02:18:54,280
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: at least sa school level,

2886
02:18:54,360 --> 02:18:56,040
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: kapag nangyayari to, bumababa yung

2887
02:18:56,040 --> 02:18:57,860
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: turnout. So, yun yung

2888
02:18:57,860 --> 02:18:59,760
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: isang fear natin, Mr. Chair,

2889
02:19:00,160 --> 02:19:02,040
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: number one, pag hindi matuloy yung BSKE

2890
02:19:02,040 --> 02:19:03,920
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: election this year, sayang

2891
02:19:03,920 --> 02:19:04,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: tong perang

2892
02:19:04,820 --> 02:19:08,400
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: nagamit na nagasta na

2893
02:19:08,400 --> 02:19:10,040
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: or igagasta na, hindi na

2894
02:19:10,040 --> 02:19:12,160
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: mababalik. And ikalawa, yung long-term

2895
02:19:12,160 --> 02:19:14,560
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: implications nito sa right to suffrage

2896
02:19:14,560 --> 02:19:16,500
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: and yung rich

2897
02:19:16,500 --> 02:19:17,580
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: exercise nito

2898
02:19:17,580 --> 02:19:19,700
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ng mga mamayan. And I think

2899
02:19:19,700 --> 02:19:21,360
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: the good

2900
02:19:21,360 --> 02:19:22,880
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: office,

2901
02:19:23,920 --> 02:19:25,840
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: the good commission would still nonetheless

2902
02:19:25,840 --> 02:19:27,840
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: agree na idea,

2903
02:19:27,860 --> 02:19:30,100
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ideally, we uphold the right of the citizens

2904
02:19:30,100 --> 02:19:32,100
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: to genuine representation of government

2905
02:19:32,100 --> 02:19:34,200
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na hindi lang pwede kung sino-sino

2906
02:19:34,200 --> 02:19:35,500
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: at sobrang haba

2907
02:19:35,500 --> 02:19:37,680
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ng holdover nila, pero

2908
02:19:37,680 --> 02:19:39,820
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: dapat na pangahawakan yung right to suffrage.

2909
02:19:40,500 --> 02:19:41,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Mr. Chair, just like

2910
02:19:41,860 --> 02:19:43,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: the Honorable Supreme Court, the

2911
02:19:43,480 --> 02:19:45,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Comelect, as the sole authority

2912
02:19:45,860 --> 02:19:48,040
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: to conduct the election

2913
02:19:48,040 --> 02:19:49,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: and whatever electoral

2914
02:19:49,940 --> 02:19:51,320
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: exercise in our country,

2915
02:19:51,680 --> 02:19:53,640
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: we are very supportive of

2916
02:19:53,640 --> 02:19:55,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: the statement that an election

2917
02:19:55,780 --> 02:19:57,140
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: should always be periodic,

2918
02:19:57,860 --> 02:20:00,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: it should be regular, it should be definite.

2919
02:20:00,780 --> 02:20:02,100
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: That should be the principle

2920
02:20:02,100 --> 02:20:03,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: really of an election. That is the

2921
02:20:03,860 --> 02:20:05,680
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: decision of the Supreme Court. Periodic,

2922
02:20:06,080 --> 02:20:07,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: regular, and definite.

2923
02:20:07,980 --> 02:20:09,760
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yun po ang isa sa nakauna-unahang

2924
02:20:09,760 --> 02:20:11,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: parameters ng Supreme Court. As to

2925
02:20:11,940 --> 02:20:13,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: whether any postponement is not periodic,

2926
02:20:14,360 --> 02:20:15,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: as to whether any extension

2927
02:20:15,800 --> 02:20:17,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: is not definite,

2928
02:20:18,080 --> 02:20:19,540
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: then, sabi ko nga po

2929
02:20:19,540 --> 02:20:20,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa pagdinig,

2930
02:20:21,320 --> 02:20:23,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: the proponent should be

2931
02:20:23,940 --> 02:20:25,340
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ready

2932
02:20:25,340 --> 02:20:27,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: to defend very strongly.

2933
02:20:27,860 --> 02:20:29,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: The position that

2934
02:20:29,460 --> 02:20:31,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: the decision of the Supreme Court is not

2935
02:20:31,860 --> 02:20:33,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: applicable in

2936
02:20:33,700 --> 02:20:35,840
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: this kind of postponement

2937
02:20:35,840 --> 02:20:37,840
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: because definitely, the

2938
02:20:37,840 --> 02:20:39,080
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Supreme Court will weigh,

2939
02:20:39,940 --> 02:20:42,240
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: titimbangin po, yung pagpapospon

2940
02:20:42,240 --> 02:20:43,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: muli kung sakali, doon sa

2941
02:20:43,900 --> 02:20:45,720
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kanyang nailatag na

2942
02:20:45,720 --> 02:20:47,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: criteria sa postponement of

2943
02:20:47,940 --> 02:20:50,040
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: any election. Policy question

2944
02:20:50,040 --> 02:20:51,000
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: lang din, Mr. Chair.

2945
02:20:52,080 --> 02:20:53,860
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Kung sabay po ba

2946
02:20:53,860 --> 02:20:55,780
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ang barangay-eski election sa national

2947
02:20:55,780 --> 02:20:57,840
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: elections, mas nakakatipid po

2948
02:20:57,860 --> 02:20:59,420
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ba ang Comelec? O

2949
02:20:59,420 --> 02:21:01,640
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: mas maganda po na spread out siya

2950
02:21:01,640 --> 02:21:03,540
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: or hindi sabay, kumbaga? Or may

2951
02:21:03,540 --> 02:21:05,440
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: other considerations po, other than budget?

2952
02:21:05,580 --> 02:21:06,760
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Marami salamat, Mr. Chair.

2953
02:21:07,400 --> 02:21:09,340
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Technically po, hindi pwede magsabay

2954
02:21:09,340 --> 02:21:10,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa isang araw.

2955
02:21:11,640 --> 02:21:13,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Bakit po? Kasi po, ang barangay-eski

2956
02:21:13,660 --> 02:21:15,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ay manual,

2957
02:21:16,120 --> 02:21:17,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang national and local election

2958
02:21:17,780 --> 02:21:19,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ay automated. Kasi nga po,

2959
02:21:19,520 --> 02:21:21,540
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang proclamation ng barangay at eski

2960
02:21:21,540 --> 02:21:23,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ay ginagawa lang sa mismong

2961
02:21:23,360 --> 02:21:25,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: paaralan kung saan bumoto yung

2962
02:21:25,500 --> 02:21:27,220
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: mga kababayan natin. So,

2963
02:21:27,860 --> 02:21:29,820
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: napakahira po na magkasabay

2964
02:21:29,820 --> 02:21:32,100
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung ganon. Pero, kapag po

2965
02:21:32,100 --> 02:21:33,760
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: pinagsabay sa iisang taon,

2966
02:21:34,360 --> 02:21:35,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: syempre po, pag naghingi kami

2967
02:21:35,880 --> 02:21:37,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng budget para sa national

2968
02:21:37,880 --> 02:21:39,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: and local election, hihingi kami rin

2969
02:21:39,880 --> 02:21:41,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng budget para sa barangay-eski

2970
02:21:41,980 --> 02:21:43,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: that will be conducted on the same

2971
02:21:43,940 --> 02:21:46,060
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: year. Yun lang po. Kung the same

2972
02:21:46,060 --> 02:21:48,040
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: year, kung halimbawa po ang budget

2973
02:21:48,040 --> 02:21:49,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: for barangay-eski ay 19 billion

2974
02:21:49,980 --> 02:21:52,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: or 20 na po. Tapos ang budget

2975
02:21:52,020 --> 02:21:53,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa mismong election year

2976
02:21:53,880 --> 02:21:55,820

3032
02:23:45,780 --> 02:23:47,400
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: In fact, dinala kami sa Korte Suprema

3033
02:23:47,400 --> 02:23:49,040
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: and in two cases, we were

3034
02:23:49,040 --> 02:23:51,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: affirmed by the Supreme Court. In one case,

3035
02:23:51,360 --> 02:23:53,220
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: even the Supreme Court said, Congress,

3036
02:23:53,560 --> 02:23:55,420
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: para pong sinasabi na ng Korte Suprema,

3037
02:23:56,140 --> 02:23:57,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: that it is mandatory for Congress

3038
02:23:57,660 --> 02:23:59,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: to enact an anti-political dynasty law

3039
02:23:59,740 --> 02:24:01,460

3043
02:24:07,720 --> 02:24:10,060
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At in fact, sabi nila, sinimulan sa SK,

3044
02:24:10,360 --> 02:24:12,080
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang purpose talaga niyan ay pang-national.

3045
02:24:12,640 --> 02:24:13,560
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: We were affirmed by the

3046
02:24:13,560 --> 02:24:15,240
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Honorable Supreme Court because

3047
02:24:15,240 --> 02:24:16,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: we found out that indeed,

3048
02:24:17,560 --> 02:24:19,540
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: the petitioner in that case,

3049
02:24:19,680 --> 02:24:21,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: the respondent in the Comelec case

3050
02:24:21,360 --> 02:24:23,560
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: or cases, ay talaga pong

3051
02:24:23,560 --> 02:24:25,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: related sa isang local

3052
02:24:25,940 --> 02:24:27,400
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: elective position

3053
02:24:27,660 --> 02:24:29,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: or candidate or local elective official

3054
02:24:29,460 --> 02:24:31,580
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: and therefore, violative

3055
02:24:31,580 --> 02:24:32,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kasi second degree,

3056
02:24:33,440 --> 02:24:35,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: violative of the anti-political dynasty

3057
02:24:35,700 --> 02:24:38,100

3058
02:24:38,640 --> 02:24:39,880

3059
02:24:39,880 --> 02:24:41,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa bagay na yan. Kaya po kami, malakas ang loob

3061
02:24:43,680 --> 02:24:45,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: based sa anti-political dynasty

3062
02:24:45,660 --> 02:24:47,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: provision because no less than

3063
02:24:47,360 --> 02:24:49,400
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: the Supreme Court had given imprimatur

3064
02:24:49,400 --> 02:24:51,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: to whatever the Comelec had done

3065
02:24:51,940 --> 02:24:53,340

3084
02:25:30,480 --> 02:25:31,900
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: Mr. Chair, I'd just like

3085
02:25:31,900 --> 02:25:32,940
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: to ask, may

3086
02:25:32,940 --> 02:25:35,400
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: working dynamic po ba

3087
02:25:35,400 --> 02:25:37,000
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: ang Comelec with NYC

3088
02:25:37,000 --> 02:25:38,940
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: para po mabantayan

3089
02:25:38,940 --> 02:25:41,860
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: yung mga tumatakbong

3090
02:25:41,860 --> 02:25:43,500
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: SK at nananalo

3091
02:25:43,500 --> 02:25:45,640
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na violative

3092
02:25:45,640 --> 02:25:47,540
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: po pala sa anti-political

3093
02:25:47,540 --> 02:25:49,500
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: dynasty provision? Dahil ang alam po

3094
02:25:49,500 --> 02:25:51,380
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: natin sa ngayon,

3095
02:25:51,600 --> 02:25:53,420
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: I think this was yung conversation natin

3096
02:25:53,420 --> 02:25:55,660
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: last year, kung ano po yung

3097
02:25:55,660 --> 02:25:57,300
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: dumating na complaint sa Comelec?

3098
02:25:57,660 --> 02:25:59,920
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: At aaktohan niya. Pero syempre may bahagi

3099
02:25:59,920 --> 02:26:01,960
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: dyan na maraming pong tumatakbo, maraming

3100
02:26:01,960 --> 02:26:03,780
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: nananalo, na hindi po

3101
02:26:03,780 --> 02:26:05,700
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: nadudulugan ng complaint to Comelec

3102
02:26:05,700 --> 02:26:07,600
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: na nagtutuloy-tuloy at natatapos yung

3103
02:26:07,600 --> 02:26:09,400
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: termino kahit violative po.

3104
02:26:09,580 --> 02:26:11,620
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: So siguro yun nalang po yung tanong, meron po bang dynamic

3105
02:26:11,620 --> 02:26:13,080
Rep. Renee Louise M. Co: para po mabantayan yun?

3106

3112
02:26:25,820 --> 02:26:27,620

3113
02:26:27,660 --> 02:26:29,380

3114
02:26:29,380 --> 02:26:31,820
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: motopropio. Why? Hindi po namin

3115
02:26:31,820 --> 02:26:33,580
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: alam kahit sa buong Pilipinas, sino

3116
02:26:33,580 --> 02:26:35,680

3117
02:26:35,680 --> 02:26:37,660

3120
02:26:41,720 --> 02:26:43,480

3121
02:26:43,480 --> 02:26:45,580
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: for national or local position.

3122
02:26:46,140 --> 02:26:48,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: That the Comelec cannot motopropio

3123
02:26:48,160 --> 02:26:49,660

3126

3237
02:30:36,040 --> 02:30:37,860

3238
02:30:37,860 --> 02:30:40,200
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sapagkat sa recent decisions

3239
02:30:40,200 --> 02:30:41,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: po ng Supreme Court, sana po

3240
02:30:41,940 --> 02:30:43,980

02:30:47,820 --> 02:30:49,360

3244
02:30:50,140 --> 02:30:51,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Sapagkat halos wala na po kaming

3245
02:30:51,800 --> 02:30:53,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: diskresyon sa pag-disqualify.

02:30:53,900 --> 02:30:55,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Una, hindi kami pwede mag-disqualify

3247
02:30:55,480 --> 02:30:58,140

3249

3250
02:31:01,480 --> 02:31:03,260

3251
02:31:03,260 --> 02:31:05,640
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: noong nakaraan. Hindi kami pwede mag-disqualify

3252
02:31:05,640 --> 02:31:07,240
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: dahil kaparehas lang siya ng pangalan

3253
02:31:07,240 --> 02:31:09,560
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng isang kandidato. Hindi kami pwede

3254
02:31:09,560 --> 02:31:11,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: mag-disqualify dahil lang sa kulang

3255
02:31:11,700 --> 02:31:13,820
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: siya sa pondo, wala siyang financial capacity

3256
02:31:13,820 --> 02:31:15,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: to wage a campaign. O kaya

3257
02:31:15,800 --> 02:31:17,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: naman siya, ikukunti ang supporters niya

3258
02:31:17,860 --> 02:31:19,720
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: o hindi siya well-organized. Eh wala na po

3259
02:31:19,720 --> 02:31:21,640
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kaming ground to disqualify based on

3260
02:31:21,640 --> 02:31:23,680
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: reasons. Inaalala nga po namin ngayon

3261
02:31:23,680 --> 02:31:25,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa Comelec, paano kung may mga

3262
02:31:25,660 --> 02:31:27,340
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kandidato tayo for president, halimbawa

3263
02:31:27,340 --> 02:31:28,220
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: mga 60.

3264
02:31:29,520 --> 02:31:30,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Eh practically po, wala na kami

3265
02:31:30,880 --> 02:31:32,840
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: mag-disqualify o maka-cancel dahil po

3266
02:31:32,840 --> 02:31:35,120
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: doon sa bagay na yun. Eh kung magkakaganon

3267
02:31:35,120 --> 02:31:37,200
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: po, 60 po ang pangalan na nakalagay

3268
02:31:37,200 --> 02:31:39,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na kandidato natin sa balota,

3269
02:31:39,200 --> 02:31:39,920
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ganun po kadami,

3270
02:31:40,820 --> 02:31:42,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na pagpipilian ng tao, sabay sa

3271
02:31:42,740 --> 02:31:44,820
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: presidente pa lang po yan. Eh paano po sa

3272
02:31:44,820 --> 02:31:46,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: vice president? Paano po sa senators?

3273

3620
02:43:27,860 --> 02:43:29,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa mga bundok kung sakasakali?

3621
02:43:29,680 --> 02:43:31,720
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Eh, minsan po kailangan mag-renta ng mga barka.

3622
02:43:32,180 --> 02:43:33,580
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kailangan po mag-

COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yun po yung gusto namin ma-realize

3626
02:43:40,260 --> 02:43:42,080
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sana. Nung mga nagtatanggal

3627

COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa amin ang budget, na sana po

3628
02:43:43,540 --> 02:43:45,840

3629
02:43:45,840 --> 02:43:48,100
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang nagpaparehistro. Pinupuntahan

3644

3670
02:45:04,340 --> 02:45:05,600

3671
02:45:05,600 --> 02:45:08,100
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: pagdi-discriminate dahil lang sa kasarian.

3672

3683
02:45:30,160 --> 02:45:31,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sapagkat naging aware ang lahat

3684
02:45:31,800 --> 02:45:33,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na tumatakbo ka man, supporter ka lang

3685

3688
02:45:39,740 --> 02:45:42,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sapagkat hindi dapat ginagamit ang entablado

3689
02:45:42,160 --> 02:45:43,580
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: bilang abusuhin

3690

3692
02:45:48,000 --> 02:45:50,040

3693
02:45:50,380 --> 02:45:51,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yan po itutuloy-tuloy po natin. In fact,

3694

COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: mas-strengthen natin yan

3695
02:45:53,460 --> 02:45:56,080
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: at naunawaan po natin, napakahirap

3696
02:45:56,080 --> 02:45:57,340
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng unang bahagi

3697
02:45:57,340 --> 02:45:59,220
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng pagpapatupad sapagkat

3698
02:45:59,220 --> 02:46:01,420
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: parang first time po eh, sinubukan.

3699
02:46:01,820 --> 02:46:03,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pero dahil alam na namin ngayon, pati yung mga

3704
02:46:11,820 --> 02:46:13,680
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: mga kandidato, but yun po'y parte

3705
02:46:13,680 --> 02:46:15,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng constitutional duty of the Comelec

3706
02:46:15,940 --> 02:46:17,440

COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Paano po yung mga ganun? Wala po kaming

3829
02:50:20,300 --> 02:50:22,860

COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: mag-punish criminally.

3831
02:50:24,620 --> 02:50:26,200
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: May prinsipo po sa batas,

3832
02:50:26,320 --> 02:50:28,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: nul yung krimen, nul yung pinasinilig. There is no crime

3833
02:50:28,860 --> 02:50:30,740

3834
02:50:31,120 --> 02:50:33,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So, the COMELEC cannot punish, and therefore

3835
02:50:33,000 --> 02:50:35,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: the COMELEC cannot define a crime.

3836
02:50:35,580 --> 02:50:36,840
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yan po yung predicament namin.

3837

02:50:59,100 --> 02:51:00,600
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Wala po kaming kapangyarihan to do that.

02:56:11,060 --> 02:56:12,580
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sabi ng Korte Suprema, hindi yun ang

4004
02:56:12,580 --> 02:56:14,680
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: tamang dahilan at hindi maging gahilan yun.

4005
02:56:15,280 --> 02:56:16,320
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Binaliwala, diniklarang

4006
02:56:16,320 --> 02:56:18,320
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: unconstitutional po, yung

4007
02:56:18,320 --> 02:56:20,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: pagpapostpone noong 2023 na yun.

4008
02:56:21,140 --> 02:56:22,600
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Sabi po ng Korte Suprema, mali

4009
02:56:22,600 --> 02:56:24,420
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kasi hindi naging peryodik ang halalan,

4010
02:56:24,820 --> 02:56:26,600
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: number two, hindi pwedeng dapat

4011
02:56:26,600 --> 02:56:28,380
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang dahilan ay dahil sa election fatigue.

4012
02:56:29,100 --> 02:56:30,340
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ngayon po, yung 2025

4013
02:56:30,340 --> 02:56:32,760
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: case, dahil ang naging approach

4014
02:56:32,760 --> 02:56:34,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: po noon, Mr. Chair, ay hindi po

4015
02:56:34,880 --> 02:56:36,100
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: postponement.

4016
02:56:36,860 --> 02:56:38,520
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ang naging approach po noong 2025

4017
02:56:38,520 --> 02:56:40,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ay term fixing.

4018
02:56:41,480 --> 02:56:42,720
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Phoenix po, from

4019
02:56:42,720 --> 02:56:44,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 3 years, ginawang 4 years,

4020
02:56:45,020 --> 02:56:46,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: number one, hindi po siya tiniero

4021
02:56:46,620 --> 02:56:48,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng Korte Suprema. Number two,

4022
02:56:48,720 --> 02:56:50,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: dinismiss po ng Korte Suprema ang petition.

4023
02:56:50,620 --> 02:56:52,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ang sinasabi ko po, hindi po sa

4024
02:56:52,740 --> 02:56:54,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: pinipreem ko kung ano man

4025
02:56:54,560 --> 02:56:56,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: mangyayari. Lumalabas po, pagka pala

4026
02:56:56,660 --> 02:56:58,560
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: term fixing, pinapayagan ng

4027
02:56:58,560 --> 02:57:00,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Korte Suprema. Kapag po pala

4028
02:57:00,620 --> 02:57:02,960
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: pure postponement,

4029
02:57:03,320 --> 02:57:04,600
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: mukhang yun ang ititiaarot, yun

4030
02:57:04,600 --> 02:57:06,820
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang binabaliwala. Kasi lumalabas po

4031
02:57:06,820 --> 02:57:08,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang postponement sa isang term

4032
02:57:08,620 --> 02:57:11,200
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: fixing ay merely incidental,

4033
02:57:11,320 --> 02:57:12,380
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sabi po ng Supreme Court.

4034
02:57:12,860 --> 02:57:14,720
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Necessary because you need a transition

4035
02:57:14,720 --> 02:57:16,720
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: period. Kinakalamitan

4036
02:57:16,720 --> 02:57:19,040
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: transition. So kung sakasakali

4037
02:57:19,040 --> 02:57:21,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: po maipapasan ito

4038
02:57:21,000 --> 02:57:22,920
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng Senado at ng Kongreso, doon sa

4039
02:57:22,920 --> 02:57:23,920
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: term fixing, mukhang na-propose.

4040
02:57:23,940 --> 02:57:25,600
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: mukhang maia-apply po yung

4041
02:57:25,600 --> 02:57:27,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 2025 decision. Mukha lang po.

4042
02:57:28,280 --> 02:57:29,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pwede naman po magbago ang Korte Suprema,

4043
02:57:30,320 --> 02:57:31,960
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: pwede po niyang i-abandon yung doktrina

4044
02:57:31,960 --> 02:57:34,140
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na nakailatag niya ng 2025.

4045
02:57:34,960 --> 02:57:36,120
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pero kung ang dahilan po

4046
02:57:36,120 --> 02:57:37,760
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng postponement

4047
02:57:37,760 --> 02:57:39,960
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ay dahil sa ibang kadahilanan,

4048
02:57:40,860 --> 02:57:42,280
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sana po yung pong proponents

4049
02:57:42,280 --> 02:57:44,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: should be prepared and ready

4050
02:57:44,020 --> 02:57:46,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na yung mismong panukala

4051
02:57:46,620 --> 02:57:47,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: at yung magiging batas ay

4052
02:57:47,980 --> 02:57:50,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ibabangga doon sa guidelines

4053
02:57:50,300 --> 02:57:52,140
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na nilagay ng Korte Suprema

4054
02:57:52,140 --> 02:57:53,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: noong 2023.

4055
02:57:53,940 --> 02:57:55,400
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Napakabigat na guidelines po yun.

4056
02:57:55,840 --> 02:57:58,180
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So, yan po. Ngayon po,

4057
02:57:58,320 --> 02:57:59,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa aming pong pagkakaalam sa KOMEL,

4058
02:57:59,840 --> 02:58:01,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: at syempre po, matsidhi namin binabantayan

4059
02:58:01,880 --> 02:58:03,560

4060
02:58:03,560 --> 02:58:05,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: at saka po sa mataas na kapulungan,

4061
02:58:06,080 --> 02:58:08,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: mukha pong nagkakasundo na term fixing

4062
02:58:08,620 --> 02:58:09,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang

4063
02:58:09,900 --> 02:58:12,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: saka-sakali po ang panukalang batas.

4064
02:58:12,740 --> 02:58:14,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So, ang amin lang po talagang pakiusap,

4065
02:58:14,760 --> 02:58:16,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Your Honors, Mr. Chair,

4066
02:58:16,460 --> 02:58:17,960
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: huwag naman pong lalampasan sa September

4067
02:58:17,960 --> 02:58:20,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung kaliwanagan

4068
02:58:20,620 --> 02:58:22,200
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sapagkat filing na po ng

4069

4071
02:58:27,180 --> 02:58:28,400

02:58:31,940 --> 02:58:33,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: nating isipin yung pong nagastos niya

4075
02:58:33,860 --> 02:58:36,220
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sapagkat yung lahat naman po ng amin

4076
02:58:36,220 --> 02:58:38,220
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: pong nabili ay magagamit

4077
02:58:38,220 --> 02:58:39,640
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kung sakaling ma-reset din.

4078
02:58:40,140 --> 02:58:42,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And therefore, wala dapat ipagbahala po yun.

4079
02:58:42,180 --> 02:58:44,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At yung pong 11 billion na natitira,

4080
02:58:44,600 --> 02:58:46,060
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: wala pa po sa kamay ni KOMELIC yun.

4081
02:58:46,500 --> 02:58:48,040
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Nasa DBM pa rin po ito hanggang

4082
02:58:48,040 --> 02:58:48,820
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa kasalukuyan.

4083
02:58:49,720 --> 02:58:52,060
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: Maraming salamat po sa maliwanag niyong

4084
02:58:52,060 --> 02:58:53,380
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: pagpapaliwanag.

4085
02:58:53,940 --> 02:58:56,020
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: Sa isa pong

4086
02:58:56,020 --> 02:58:58,260
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: television interview ni

4087
02:58:58,260 --> 02:58:59,980
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: Secretary John B.

4088
02:59:00,040 --> 02:59:01,440
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: Cremullia ng DILG,

4090
02:59:03,820 --> 02:59:05,760

4091
02:59:05,760 --> 02:59:07,960

4092
02:59:07,960 --> 02:59:10,180
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: to abolish the Sangguniang Kabataan.

4093
02:59:10,580 --> 02:59:11,980
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: Siyempre, that includes the election

4094
02:59:11,980 --> 02:59:14,020
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: of Sangguniang Kabataan. Ano po ang pananaw

4095
02:59:14,020 --> 02:59:15,740
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: niyo dito? At kung sakasakali,

4096
02:59:15,940 --> 02:59:16,840
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: eh, bakit?

4097
02:59:17,380 --> 02:59:18,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Maraming salamat po. And this is without

4098

COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Personal po ito at bilang

4101
02:59:25,700 --> 02:59:27,960
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: part ng komisyon at bilang isang

4102
02:59:27,960 --> 02:59:29,680
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: nagturo din po ng batas. Ang

4103
02:59:29,680 --> 02:59:32,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: karapatan po ng mga kabataan ay guaranteed

4104
02:59:32,000 --> 02:59:33,920
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng saligang batas sa Article 2 on

4105
02:59:33,920 --> 02:59:35,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Declaration of Policies and State

4106
02:59:35,940 --> 02:59:38,260
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Declaration of Principles and State Policy.

4107
02:59:38,720 --> 02:59:40,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Nangangulugan, hindi lang po kababaihan

4108
02:59:40,360 --> 02:59:42,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang ginagaransyang may participation

4109
02:59:42,000 --> 02:59:44,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa nation building kung hindi mismo

4110
02:59:44,020 --> 02:59:46,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang kabataan. Ang SK po

4111
02:59:46,000 --> 02:59:48,420
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ay isang instrumento upang mas mapagtibay

4112
02:59:48,420 --> 02:59:49,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang partisipasyon ng kabataan

4113
02:59:50,460 --> 02:59:52,080
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa paglinang

4114
02:59:52,080 --> 02:59:53,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: at pagbuo ng ating pong

4115
02:59:53,940 --> 02:59:55,420
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: mabuhunan. At dahil po dyan,

4116
02:59:56,180 --> 02:59:57,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kung tatanggalin po natin ang sangguni

4117
02:59:57,700 --> 03:00:00,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang kabataan, paano po ang partisipasyon ng kabataan?

4118
03:00:00,000 --> 03:00:17,080
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Sa bandang huli po, hindi po ba kahit sa Republic Act 7160, yung ating local government code, hindi po ba ang SK naman, hindi pwedeng gumasta ng kahit anong pondo, nang hindi po otorisado at under the control and supervision ng barangay.

4119
03:00:17,080 --> 03:00:29,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So yung sinasabing hindi nagagasos ng tama, ay di dapat din po nabiblaim din pala si barangay chairman sapagkat lahat po ng apaggasos ng SK ay may imprimatur ng barangay chairman at sa kabarangay council.

4120
03:00:29,360 --> 03:00:43,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So meaning to say po, hindi po ito kasalanan lang ng kabataan. Madami po magagawa dahil ang kabataan nagiging parte nung nalalaman po nila kung paano pinapamahalaan ang bayan, paano inaayos ang paggasos ng pondo.

4121
03:00:43,900 --> 03:00:58,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kung meron po ilan na nagiging palpak o nagiging bulok, hindi po dapat mablaim yung karamihan sapagkat nung kabataan barangay pa lang maayos naman po eh. Ito pong sangguni ang kabataan maayos din naman po.

4122
03:00:58,360 --> 03:01:05,220
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And therefore, naniniwala po ang inyong lingkod kahit po ang buong komisyona that SK should never and should not be abolished.

4123
03:01:05,220 --> 03:01:12,220
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: Thanks for the enlightenment. Pagdating naman po sa voters education na plan ng Comelec.

4124
03:01:13,820 --> 03:01:27,220
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: Tayo po ba'y mayroong inovasyon o may pinaplanong o may iniisip na kapamaraanan na hindi na laging tuwing last two days na lang ng registration or last day,

4125
03:01:27,220 --> 03:01:43,060
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: doon na lamang mag-pukuyugin, doon na lang pupunta yung mga would-be registrants sa pagkaparehistro. It's all about voters education and information na plan ng inyong tanggapan.

4126
03:01:43,340 --> 03:01:56,560
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Alam niyo po, Mr. Chair, Your Honor, noong pong August 1 to 9, siyam na araw lang po yun. Kasi kaya po kami nagparehistro noong August 1 to 9 noong nakaraang taon, kasi nga po meron po kasi tayong,

4127
03:01:57,220 --> 03:02:05,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: barangay ng SK election dapat ng December. Kaya August 1 to 9 lang ang aming pong window para magpaparehistro.

4128
03:02:06,000 --> 03:02:19,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Mahigit tatlong milyon po ang pumunta sa registration sites natin. Ibig sabihin, talagang interesado sila magparehistro, magpatransfer ng registration, magpachange ng kung anumang item sa kanilang registration o magparevive ng kanilang registration.

4129
03:02:19,900 --> 03:02:26,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kung kaya nga lang, madami rin po kasing na-deactivate ng mga votante na hindi nakaboto noong 2022 at syempre noong 2023.

4130
03:02:27,220 --> 03:02:30,180
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Barangay ng SK election. So ano pong ibig sabihin natin?

4131
03:02:31,280 --> 03:02:42,540
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung pong mahabang panahon, totoo po talagang binabanggit niyo po. Kahit na anong klaseng kampanya, simbahan, paaralan, civil society, talaga pong hindi kami tumitigil.

4132
03:02:42,620 --> 03:02:53,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ginamit na po namin pati po social media para hindi kayati na magparehistro. For whatever reason, talagang mga last three days, saka sila po pumupunta sa registration.

4133
03:02:53,780 --> 03:02:56,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Nagsasatellite. Meron pa nga po kami, kanina binanggit ko.

4134
03:02:57,220 --> 03:03:03,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Registration anywhere, anytime. Anytime, kahit sa hospital po, gabi, pati mga pasyente, nagbabatay sa pasyente.

4135
03:03:03,940 --> 03:03:08,540
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung pong nasa call centers para yung mga nagtatrabaho, wala nang dahilan na hindi makapagparehistro.

4136
03:03:08,600 --> 03:03:16,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: In fairness po, highly anticipated. Ano po nila yun? Accepted. Tinangga po nila yung aming pong mga bagong innovation po na ganoon.

4137
03:03:16,880 --> 03:03:26,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: In fact, ito po yung isa sa mga nabigyan ng awards. Ergonomy Award. Yung registration anywhere. Ngayon po may anytime pa.

4138
03:03:27,220 --> 03:03:33,340
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Sa mga airports. So, kung kahit po mga katutubo, dinadala po na namin ang registration sa kanila.

4139
03:03:33,740 --> 03:03:40,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi po yung naglalakad sila mula doon sa bundok, papunta sa kapatagan. But just the same, hindi pa rin po sapat.

4140
03:03:41,080 --> 03:03:46,680
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Meron. Kita nyo po, Mr. Chair. Alam nyo po ba na ang ating deactivated? Meaning yung hindi nakabotong botante.

4141
03:03:47,100 --> 03:03:56,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: For the last two elections ay 3 million. So, ibig sabihin, dapat yung 3 million na yun ay magpareactivate para makaboto sila sa 2028 election.

4142
03:03:57,220 --> 03:04:14,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ang iba hindi po nagpareactivate para sa barangay and SK elections. So, yung po ang isang problema natin na dadagdagan pero nababawasan din sapagkat mga hindi po nakakaboto ng dalawang magkasunod na election na yung po ang nakalagay naman sa ating Republic Act 8189.

4143
03:04:14,860 --> 03:04:26,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung continuing registration. But huwag po kayo mag-alala. Sisuguro din po namin lalo ang kabataan. Sila po ay magpaparehistro at boboto. Yung po ang importante. Critical.

4144
03:04:27,220 --> 03:04:30,060
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Magparehistrado. Unang hakbang sa pagboto.

4145
03:04:30,180 --> 03:04:45,440
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: Maraming salamat. Last question na lang po. Sa Philippine Development Plan 2023 to 2028, isa sa mahalagang papel ng COMELEC ay ang pagpapalawig ng inclusivity at accessibility ng mga elections sa bansa.

4146
03:04:45,440 --> 03:05:00,000
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: Paano titiyakin ng COMELEC na ang pagpapalawak ng satellite at special registrations ay magiging inclusive lalo na para sa mga botante yung nasa geographically isolated?

4147
03:05:01,080 --> 03:05:19,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Alam niyo po, yung kauna-unahan naming registration na ginawa para sa 2025, pumunta po kami sa Kalayaan Islands. Maaaring naiparehistro namin ay anim na po lang. Pero yun po ay napaka-symbolic kasi gusto naming ipakita sa lahat na kahit saan, mararating namin, magparehistro lang ng mga botante.

4148
03:05:19,620 --> 03:05:35,560
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Number one, number two, na yung island na yan ay yung piece of property na yan ay sa Pilipinas. Sapagkat ang pinaparehistro namin, mga Pilipino. Pinuntahan po namin ang Camp Darapanan, ang Camp Abu Bakar, pinakamalalaking kampo ng MILF. First time na nagpa-register po diyan. Ibig sabihin, sobra pong init ng pagtanggap.

4149
03:05:35,560 --> 03:05:57,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Dalawang araw po hindi pa natatapos ang registration. Pinuntahan po namin ang bulubundukin ng Bukidnon at saka yung pong tinatawag na Camp Dragon diyan po sa Sulu. Hindi na po bale may threat, may security, whatever. Importante makita ng mga kababayan natin na sila'y nagparehistro.

4150
03:05:57,660 --> 03:06:21,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yun po ay talagang mga kabataan po ang nagparehistro naman. So, yung mga kampanyang yan, tama naman po kayo na dapat mas mapaigting pa natin. At dapat po, Mr. Chair, Your Honor, yung mga nakatatanda, mga may kapansanan, ang mga nagdadalang-tao at lalong-lalo na po katutubo.

4151
03:06:21,660 --> 03:06:42,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung ating persons deprived of liberty, 68,000 po sila more or less, yung mga nakakulong. Sinisigurado po namin na nakakaboto sila kahit sa Bureau of Corrections at saka po sa BJMP ay makakaboto po sila. So para po yang lahat ng yan ay mapatunayan natin na inclusiveness ay pinakaimportante sa lahat. Wala po tayong dapat iiwan.

4152
03:06:42,980 --> 03:07:51,040
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Meron po tayong mga lugar dati, kahit yung kapihan na naging sikat dati sa Surigao, pinuntahan po namin yun. Yung mga lugar po ng mga indigenous peoples natin na apat na oras, limang oras nilalakad, pinupuntahan na rin po namin lahat yan para maiparehistro lang sila. First time, 80 years old, 85 years old, nagpaparehistro po sila. Mula sa Mindoro, sa Bukidnon, sa Tarlac, sa Zambales, kahit po sa Pampanga and such other places and Palawan. So, pero po madami pa rin po tayong mga kababayan na kinakailangang ma-reach ng komisyon. Kung kaya nga po yung pagtanggal sa amin ng budget na katulad na nabanggit ni Congresswoman Elago kanina, malaking bagay po yun sapagkat baka hindi na po namin sila basta marating dahil dito sa pagkaltas ng budget ng Commission on Elections. But ipinapangako po namin sa inyo, we will never leave anybody unregistered because disenfranchisement is never the business of this republic. Disenfranchisement is never the business of the Commission on Elections. Again, maraming salamat po.

4153
03:07:51,080 --> 03:07:57,180
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: And with that, Mr. Chairman, I would like to manifest and support the restoration

4154
03:07:57,200 --> 03:08:09,240
Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: of the proposed budget cut for COMELEC for the year 2027. Again, Mr. Chairman, thanks for your service to the Filipino people. Maraming salamat po. [palakpakan]

4155
03:08:09,240 --> 03:08:25,010
Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan: Thank you, Cong. Kaloy. Thank you, Cong. Kaloy Bolilia. And next to interpolate, with permission from our vice chairs Cong. Zia and Cong. Rufus, would like to call on Representative Egay Erice.

4156
03:08:25,010 --> 03:08:28,720
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Thank you, Mr. Chair.

4157
03:08:28,740 --> 03:08:58,720
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Again, good evening—good evening na po kanina. Good afternoon, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I would be very candid with you because as you know, during the 2025 elections, we had a very heated altercation. Nag-file po ako ng case against you. Na-dismiss naman sa Ombudsman. Dinisqualify niyo ako; sana hindi na maulit.

4158
03:08:58,740 --> 03:09:28,720
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: At ang sabi ng Supreme Court, "You committed a grave abuse of discretion in disqualifying me." Ang pinagmulan po niyan ay yung aking advocacy para sa political and electoral reforms. At sa tingin ko kasi ang pinakamalaking problema ng bansa natin kaya tayo bumabagsak ay political at electoral. At yan po yung aking mga advocacy in many, many proposals before the separation and electoral.

4159
03:09:28,740 --> 03:09:58,720
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Ngayon po, nung nag-petition po ako against Miru nung nakaraan dahil sinabi ko prototype yan, bago yan, nakakatakot yan, at nung namang nag-work sinabi ko, okay, napatunayan ko. I've been a member of the Joint Congressional Committee on Automation for 12 years at marami naman po tayong experience diyan. Ngayon po gusto ko lang pong, ano, I just would like to get the real frame na mindset of the COMELEC and the COMELEC Advisory Council on the use of machines.

4160
03:09:58,740 --> 03:10:30,160
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Kasi po, as you said kanina, ang mindset niyo, brand new. Ang para sa akin, the COMELEC should rather specify, rather than brand new, yung performance standards: accuracy, reliability, security,

4161
03:10:30,180 --> 03:11:00,160
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: auditability and hindi capacity to upgrade. Yun, mas tingin ko po, mas yun ang importante kaysa sa brand new. Second, sa experience ko sa automation, kung gagamitin natin yung nakaraan, palagay ko yung problema niyo na 9 billion na kulang baka konti na lang. At makakatipid yung mga Pilipino,

4162
03:11:00,180 --> 03:11:30,160
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: makakatipid yung ating bansa sa isang sistema na napatunayan na. But I would like to give you the benefit of the doubt. So ganito po, hihingi lang po ako ng kopya nung bago ninyong terms of reference. Hingi po ako ng kopya kung may minutes of the meeting or resolution yung COMELEC Advisory Council para mapag-aralan ko po. And I assure that I will be very objective. Titignan ko kung necessary

4163
03:11:30,180 --> 03:11:46,840
Rep. Edgar R. Erice: yung bago o whimsical, at sasabihin ko po sa inyo sa plenary based on aking pag-aaral. Kaya po hinihiling ko na mabigyan niyo ako ng kopya before the plenary debates on the GAA. Salamat po.

4164
03:11:46,840 --> 03:12:00,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yes po, Mr. Chair. We will definitely comply. Kasama na rin po yung terms of reference ng transmission at terms of reference ng OVCS po natin. Kasi po yung mga yan ay unbundled lahat and therefore, magkakaiba po ang terms of reference ng bawat isa.

4165
03:14:51,580 --> 03:14:59,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: First regular parliamentary elections. Historic siya dahil ang setup po sa BARM is parliamentary.

4166
03:15:00,000 --> 03:15:10,180
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So ito po yung magtataglay doon sa katibayan na naging resulta nung usapang pangkapayapaan.

4167
03:15:10,820 --> 03:15:14,860
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So we'd like to, for the chairman, to update this committee.

4168
03:15:15,300 --> 03:15:27,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: In view, Mr. Chair, of the recent ambush that happened against the sitting interim chief minister,

4169
03:15:27,360 --> 03:15:32,940
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: I would also like to find out from Comelec if the initial report of the police,

4170
03:15:33,320 --> 03:15:48,820
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: those who investigate the incident, has already determined the motive behind this attempt on the life of our sitting interim chief minister.

4171
03:15:48,820 --> 03:15:57,080
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Can we safely assume, for example, that this is a politically motivated,

4172
03:15:57,360 --> 03:16:03,420
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: act, or is it something else?

4173
03:16:04,480 --> 03:16:12,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Kasi we also would like to find out if this will be an isolated case,

4174
03:16:12,240 --> 03:16:22,100
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: meaning we would like to find out if this can be avoided up to the time when BARM holds its first regular election,

4175
03:16:22,580 --> 03:16:24,360
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kasi gusto natin orderly and peaceful.

4176
03:16:24,900 --> 03:16:27,240
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So yun lang po ang ating gustong magkaroon.

4177
03:16:27,360 --> 03:16:34,460
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Marinig na update sa ating napakagaling na chairman ng Commission on Elections.

4178
03:16:35,040 --> 03:16:36,400
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: Maraming salamat, Mr. Chair.

4179
03:16:36,400 --> 03:16:38,560
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Maraming salamat po, Mr. Chair, Your Honors.

4180
03:16:39,280 --> 03:16:42,560
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ang eleksyon sa Bangsamoro sa September 14 ay tuloy na tuloy.

4181
03:16:42,720 --> 03:16:46,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Walang duda at wala na dapat pang ikabahala yung mga kababayan natin.

4182
03:16:47,120 --> 03:16:49,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi na po tayo papayag ng resetting postponement.

4183
03:16:49,900 --> 03:16:54,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At this point, walang restraining order from the Honorable Supreme Court and therefore, tuloy na tuloy po yan.

4184
03:16:54,900 --> 03:16:57,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Walong pupo na seats ng Parliament.

4185
03:16:57,360 --> 03:16:58,440
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: May involved dyan.

4186
03:16:58,940 --> 03:17:01,720
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Dyan po ay may 32 na parliamentary districts.

4187
03:17:01,960 --> 03:17:03,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Meron pong korenta mula sa political parties.

4188
03:17:04,380 --> 03:17:06,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At may walo para sa sectoral organizations.

4189
03:17:06,360 --> 03:17:10,260
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 3.393 million ang botate sa buong Bangsamoro.

4190
03:17:10,380 --> 03:17:14,820
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 5,212 ang kanya pong presinto.

4191
03:17:15,280 --> 03:17:22,220
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At meron po siyang 1,816 na polling places o voting centers sa buong Bangsamoro.

4192
03:17:22,680 --> 03:17:24,760
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ngayon po, sa kasalukuyan,

4193
03:17:25,320 --> 03:17:27,240
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: nag-iisa lang po ang election-related incident.

4194
03:17:27,360 --> 03:17:29,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: First time sa kasaysayan ng Bangsamoro.

4195
03:17:29,680 --> 03:17:32,440
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Of course, hindi naman po dahil sa bilang lamang.

4196
03:17:32,820 --> 03:17:34,600
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pero sa kasaysayan po ng Bangsamoro,

4197
03:17:34,720 --> 03:17:37,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: whether nung ARM pa at ngayon nung ito ay BARM na,

4198
03:17:38,240 --> 03:17:40,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ay isa lang ang election-related incident.

4199
03:17:41,260 --> 03:17:44,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: In fact po, sa buong Bangsamoro, 27,

4200
03:17:45,380 --> 03:17:48,720
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang sinasabi na under red category areas,

4201
03:17:48,800 --> 03:17:50,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 21 po dyan ay nasa Lanao del Sur.

4202
03:17:50,880 --> 03:17:54,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At tigitigisa ang Maguindanao del Norte, Maguindanao Sur,

4203
03:17:54,900 --> 03:17:57,220
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang Basilan, Tawi-Tawi, at Zero.

4204
03:17:57,360 --> 03:17:58,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ang SGA naman.

4205
03:17:59,320 --> 03:18:02,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung pong 21 na red category areas,

4206
03:18:02,900 --> 03:18:04,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: maaaring sa Lanao del Sur yan,

4207
03:18:04,260 --> 03:18:07,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: pero hindi po nangangahulugan na magulo o may recent na violence

4208
03:18:07,660 --> 03:18:08,640
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: doon sa 21.

4209
03:18:09,140 --> 03:18:11,240
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kung hindi binasa lang po sa kasaysayan

4210
03:18:11,240 --> 03:18:13,640
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: nung mga lugar, dahil madami po kasing rido.

4211
03:18:14,220 --> 03:18:17,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Madami po mga pangyayari ng mga nakakarang mga halalan pa before

4212
03:18:17,300 --> 03:18:18,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na nagkaroon ng mga insidente,

4213
03:18:18,980 --> 03:18:20,340
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: pero hindi nangangahulugan na ngayon

4214
03:18:20,340 --> 03:18:22,200
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ay may insidente ng karahasan.

4215
03:18:22,720 --> 03:18:25,220
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Tama po kayo, yung isang election-related incident na yan

4216
03:18:25,220 --> 03:18:28,680
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ay patungkol sa ating interim chief minister.

4217
03:18:29,260 --> 03:18:32,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Lima po ang pinaghihinalaan, napinpoint na po yan kung sino,

4218
03:18:32,600 --> 03:18:35,100
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: at mukhang ang chief minister mismo kilala niya kung sino yan.

4219
03:18:35,100 --> 03:18:37,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Sapagkat during our last command conference,

4220
03:18:38,040 --> 03:18:39,760
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sinabi niya on record,

4221
03:18:40,300 --> 03:18:42,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ibig sabihin po niya, pinapanumpaan niya,

4222
03:18:42,980 --> 03:18:48,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: walang pagganti, walang retaliation,

4223
03:18:48,660 --> 03:18:50,060
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: at asahan nila ngayon,

4224
03:18:50,360 --> 03:18:51,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: at kahit matapos ang election,

4225
03:18:52,020 --> 03:18:54,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: hindi gaganti siya o yung kanyang mga tauhan.

4226
03:18:54,500 --> 03:18:57,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So yan po yung isang magandang statement

4227
03:18:57,980 --> 03:19:00,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: mula sa interim chief minister

4228
03:19:00,300 --> 03:19:02,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sapagkat at least po kahit paano

4229
03:19:02,460 --> 03:19:06,760
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ay naging mapayapa at naging nawala yung nabagabag yung mga kalooban

4230
03:19:06,760 --> 03:19:08,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng lahat po na naandun.

4231
03:19:08,920 --> 03:19:10,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Sa kasalukuyan din po,

4232
03:19:10,280 --> 03:19:12,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung mga guro natin ay ongoing,

4233
03:19:12,320 --> 03:19:14,420
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: matatapos na ang training nila,

4234
03:19:14,820 --> 03:19:16,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung ating mga technical people ay nagtitraining,

4235
03:19:17,060 --> 03:19:19,260
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: at lahat po ng kagamitan ay nakadeploy na

4236
03:19:19,260 --> 03:19:21,000
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa lahat ng mga probinsya,

4237
03:19:21,420 --> 03:19:23,680
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa mga tinatawag natin na provincial hubs

4238
03:19:23,680 --> 03:19:24,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng komisyon.

4239
03:19:24,500 --> 03:19:25,380
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Asahan nyo po,

4240
03:19:25,760 --> 03:19:27,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa unang linggo pa lamang na September,

4241
03:19:28,180 --> 03:19:29,600
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: lahat pong ito, itong linggong ito,

4242
03:19:29,680 --> 03:19:31,200
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: lahat pong yan ay madideliver na

4243
03:19:31,200 --> 03:19:33,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung mga gamit sa lahat ng munisipyo.

4244
03:19:34,380 --> 03:19:36,540
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ang mga balota po kasi ay sa treasurer's offices.

4245
03:19:37,060 --> 03:19:38,560
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung pong mga election para pernalya,

4246
03:19:38,660 --> 03:19:40,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: tulad ng makina, bateriya,

03:30:01,760 --> 03:30:03,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: doon sa special provision.

4573
03:30:03,820 --> 03:30:06,200
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At the same time po, kahit paano,

4574
03:30:06,580 --> 03:30:07,920
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: hindi na po kami

4575
03:30:07,920 --> 03:30:09,760
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: makikipag-talo pa doon sa

4576
03:30:09,760 --> 03:30:11,920
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 16% na available na fiscal

4577
03:30:11,920 --> 03:30:14,040
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: space na lang ng ating pamahalat.

4578
03:30:14,160 --> 03:30:15,080
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At saka naman po,

4579
03:30:15,640 --> 03:30:17,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Mr. Chair, nasa Constitution,

4580
03:30:17,640 --> 03:30:19,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: under Article 6, Section 28,

4581
03:30:19,920 --> 03:30:21,880
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: that the appropriation already given

4582
03:30:21,880 --> 03:30:23,260
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: to Comelec cannot be used

4583
03:30:23,260 --> 03:30:25,840
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa ibang departamento.

4584
03:30:26,500 --> 03:30:28,340
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: It stays with Comelec and therefore

4585
03:30:28,340 --> 03:30:30,040
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: it should be the subject lang

4586
03:30:30,040 --> 03:30:31,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: of a continuing appropriation

4587
03:30:31,800 --> 03:30:33,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kung sakasakali.

4588
03:30:33,440 --> 03:30:35,460
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Thank you. And also, I heard you

4589
03:30:35,460 --> 03:30:38,340
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: during the Committee on Suffrage hearing

4590
03:30:38,340 --> 03:30:40,020
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: stating that

4591
03:30:40,020 --> 03:30:41,780
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: postponing an election will go,

4592
03:30:42,100 --> 03:30:44,220
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: will run counter to the Macalindal case.

4593
03:30:44,800 --> 03:30:46,200
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: And you made a very good suggestion

4594
03:30:46,200 --> 03:30:48,080
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: that is, the law

4595
03:30:48,080 --> 03:30:50,100
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: should be to extend

4596
03:30:50,100 --> 03:30:52,020
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: the term. And then,

4597
03:30:52,160 --> 03:30:53,480
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: ah, we follow your suggestion.

4598
03:30:55,080 --> 03:30:56,600
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Yeah, because I heard it

4599
03:30:56,600 --> 03:30:57,660
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: very clearly.

4600
03:30:57,660 --> 03:30:59,660
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: That it should be

4601
03:30:59,660 --> 03:31:00,600
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: if there's any

4602
03:31:00,600 --> 03:31:03,500
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: postponement, we will not call it

4603
03:31:03,500 --> 03:31:05,260
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: a law of postponement, but

4604
03:31:05,260 --> 03:31:06,920
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: since you suggested

4605
03:31:06,920 --> 03:31:09,680
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: that it will be extension

4606
03:31:09,680 --> 03:31:11,960
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: of the term, fixing the term

4607

Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: from four to five years

4608
03:31:13,920 --> 03:31:15,540
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: and concomitantly

03:31:15,540 --> 03:31:17,480
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: there will be a

4610
03:31:17,480 --> 03:31:18,960
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: resetting of the election.

4611
03:31:19,580 --> 03:31:21,760
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Do you still suggest that

4612
03:31:21,760 --> 03:31:23,900
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: mode to our

4613
03:31:23,900 --> 03:31:25,480
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: distinguished colleagues who are here?

4614
03:31:25,480 --> 03:31:27,560
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Because we are now going to have

4615
03:31:27,660 --> 03:31:29,760
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: in the plenary, the report,

4616

4617
03:31:31,500 --> 03:31:33,180
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Committee on Local Government.

4618
03:31:33,860 --> 03:31:35,700
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Fixing the term to five years

4619
03:31:35,700 --> 03:31:37,540
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: and then having the election

03:31:37,540 --> 03:31:39,800
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: in 20, together

4622
03:31:40,960 --> 03:31:42,820
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: in November.

4623
03:31:43,400 --> 03:31:44,180
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Mr. Chairman.

4624
03:31:44,460 --> 03:31:46,080
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Ang maliwanag na maliwanag lang po.

4625
03:31:46,500 --> 03:31:48,860
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: And this should be coming from the head of the Commission on Election.

4626
03:31:49,600 --> 03:31:51,460
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: That the Congress shall have the

4627
03:31:51,460 --> 03:31:53,520
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: sole authority to fix

4628
03:31:53,520 --> 03:31:55,540
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: the term of barangay officials.

4629
03:31:55,540 --> 03:31:57,320
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: That's very clear under the Constitution,

4630
03:31:57,660 --> 03:31:58,660
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: under Article 6,

4631
03:31:59,140 --> 03:32:01,180
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Article 6, Section 8 of the Constitution.

4632
03:32:01,240 --> 03:32:03,560
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Article 10, Section 8 of the Constitution.

4633
03:32:04,060 --> 03:32:04,900
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Very clear po yun.

4634
03:32:05,060 --> 03:32:06,980
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Sole means to the exclusion

4635
03:32:06,980 --> 03:32:08,680
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: of any other body.

4636
03:32:10,060 --> 03:32:11,280
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Thank you. And therefore,

4637
03:32:12,000 --> 03:32:13,180
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: if the Supreme Court

4638
03:32:13,180 --> 03:32:15,100
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: will strike down

4639
03:32:15,100 --> 03:32:17,440
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: a fixing of the term, they are

4640
03:32:17,440 --> 03:32:19,260
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: judicially legislating,

4641
03:32:19,860 --> 03:32:21,220
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: which we are not going to follow.

4642
03:32:21,860 --> 03:32:22,540
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Do you agree with that?

4643
03:32:22,860 --> 03:32:24,380
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Tutal naman po, Mr. Chairman,

4644
03:32:24,520 --> 03:32:26,440
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 2025. Pasensya na kung di ko po

4645
03:32:26,440 --> 03:32:27,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: masasagot ng director.

4646
03:32:27,660 --> 03:32:27,920
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Thank you.

4647
03:32:28,360 --> 03:32:30,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Noong 2025, hindi po siya nire-restrain

4648
03:32:30,700 --> 03:32:31,420
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng Supreme Court.

4649
03:32:32,100 --> 03:32:34,320
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi rin po siya nire-reverse

4650
03:32:34,320 --> 03:32:36,180
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng Supreme Court. Although the voting was

4651
03:32:36,180 --> 03:32:38,680
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 8-5-2, but the majority says

4652
03:32:38,680 --> 03:32:40,560
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: it's a term-fixing legislation

4653
03:32:40,560 --> 03:32:42,220
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: and it is not

4654
03:32:42,220 --> 03:32:44,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: a postponement

4655
03:32:44,860 --> 03:32:46,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: legislation, and therefore

4656
03:32:46,700 --> 03:32:48,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: that is in accordance with the

4657
03:32:48,500 --> 03:32:50,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: provision of Article 10, Section 8 of the Constitution.

4658
03:32:51,500 --> 03:32:52,640
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Hence, we will prevent

4659
03:32:52,640 --> 03:32:54,300
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: a constitutional crisis.

4660
03:32:55,180 --> 03:32:56,780
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Because if the Supreme Court

4661
03:32:56,780 --> 03:33:00,220
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: will issue a TRO

4662
03:33:00,220 --> 03:33:02,280
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: on this, I'll be the first

4663
03:33:02,280 --> 03:33:04,180
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: one to tell them that

4664
03:33:04,180 --> 03:33:05,920
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: they are judicially legislating.

4665
03:33:06,440 --> 03:33:07,600
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Because as you have said,

4666
03:33:08,040 --> 03:33:09,540
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: the power of fixing elections,

4667
03:33:09,880 --> 03:33:11,640
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: amendment to the local government code,

4668
03:33:11,980 --> 03:33:13,660
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: solely belongs to the

4669
03:33:13,660 --> 03:33:14,940
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Congress, correct?

4670
03:33:16,480 --> 03:33:18,140
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yes, po. The exact wording is

4671
03:33:18,140 --> 03:33:19,680
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: if I may be able to repeat,

4672
03:33:20,300 --> 03:33:22,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: the term of office of local officials

4673
03:33:22,020 --> 03:33:23,920
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: shall be three years, except

4674
03:33:23,920 --> 03:33:26,260
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: barangay officials which may be

4675
03:33:26,260 --> 03:33:27,060
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: fixed by law.

4676
03:33:27,420 --> 03:33:29,900
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: Constitutional. So with that answer,

4677
03:33:30,080 --> 03:33:31,720
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: I am going to move now, Mr. Chairman.

4678
03:33:32,520 --> 03:33:34,280
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: I move that we approve the budget

4679
03:33:34,280 --> 03:33:36,140
Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez: of the

4680
03:33:36,140 --> 03:33:37,840

4686
03:33:51,680 --> 03:33:53,600
Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: We would definitely

4687
03:33:53,600 --> 03:33:55,540

4689
03:33:57,440 --> 03:33:59,680

4772
03:36:46,740 --> 03:36:48,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: session with a guidance counselor.

4773
03:36:48,740 --> 03:36:50,740

03:36:56,740 --> 03:36:58,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: And so far po, sa lahat na naatendan ko

4778
03:36:58,740 --> 03:37:00,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: na budget briefing,

4779
03:37:00,740 --> 03:37:02,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ang pinakamasamaang loob ay ang

4780
03:37:02,740 --> 03:37:04,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Comelect.

4781
03:37:04,740 --> 03:37:06,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: And to some of us,

4782
03:37:06,740 --> 03:37:08,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: that may be funny, but also

4783
03:37:08,740 --> 03:37:10,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: it's quite outrageous

4784
03:37:10,740 --> 03:37:12,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: that for

4785
03:37:12,740 --> 03:37:14,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: a constitutional body mandated

4786
03:37:14,740 --> 03:37:16,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: to conduct one of the, if not

4787
03:37:16,740 --> 03:37:18,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: the most important democratic process

4788
03:37:18,740 --> 03:37:20,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: in the country, ay

4789
03:37:20,740 --> 03:37:22,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ganyan-ganyan na lamang tatapyasan

4790
03:37:22,740 --> 03:37:24,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: ng budget. So,

4791
03:37:24,740 --> 03:37:26,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: I hope that as

4792
03:37:26,740 --> 03:37:28,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: a house

4793
03:37:28,740 --> 03:37:30,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: and as a committee,

4794
03:37:30,740 --> 03:37:32,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: baka po mayroon tayong pwedeng gawin

4795
03:37:32,740 --> 03:37:34,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: na papapahayag ng collective sentiment

4796
03:37:34,740 --> 03:37:36,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: of the House of Representatives

4797
03:37:36,740 --> 03:37:38,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: that this should not

4798
03:37:38,740 --> 03:37:40,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: be done to the Comelect.

4799
03:37:40,740 --> 03:37:42,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Hindi dapat tinatapyasan

4800
03:37:42,740 --> 03:37:44,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: na ganito ang Comelect habang

4801
03:37:44,740 --> 03:37:46,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: sila ay naghahanda para sa

4802
03:37:46,740 --> 03:37:48,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: isang eleksyon. So moving

4803
03:37:48,740 --> 03:37:50,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: forward, this cannot happen

4804
03:37:50,740 --> 03:37:52,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: again. And I don't

4805
03:37:52,740 --> 03:37:54,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: know if the Comelect has looked into the

4806
03:37:54,740 --> 03:37:56,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: possibility of this not

4807
03:37:56,740 --> 03:37:58,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: happening again through specific

4808
03:37:58,740 --> 03:38:00,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: mechanisms and processes.

4809
03:38:00,740 --> 03:38:02,740
Rep. Percival "Perci" Cendaña: Napag-isipan na po ba ito ng Comelect?

4810
03:38:02,740 --> 03:38:04,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Meron pong ginawa,

4811
03:38:04,740 --> 03:38:06,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Judiciary Independence Act.

4812
03:38:06,740 --> 03:38:08,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pinasaponin nyo, naging batas po

4813
03:38:08,740 --> 03:38:10,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yun. Hindi po dumadaan sa

4815
03:38:12,740 --> 03:38:14,740

03:38:14,740 --> 03:38:16,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: doon sa pinuno, noong nabigyan ng

4817
03:38:16,740 --> 03:38:18,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kapangyarihan yun, bakit

4818
03:38:18,740 --> 03:38:20,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kayo, pwede dapat

4819
03:38:20,740 --> 03:38:22,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: pati ibang kami na constitutional body,

4820
03:38:22,740 --> 03:38:24,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ganun din. Direct na sa

4821
03:38:24,740 --> 03:38:26,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Congress, yung proposal namin.

4822
03:38:26,740 --> 03:38:28,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kasi po humahara po kami ng ganito na

4823
03:38:28,740 --> 03:38:30,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kahaba doon sa nagtanggal ng

4824
03:38:30,740 --> 03:38:32,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: budget sa amin. Dinidefend po namin,

4825
03:38:32,740 --> 03:38:34,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: iniisa-isa po namin,

4826
03:38:34,740 --> 03:38:36,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: pinangako po sa amin na walag mag-alala,

4827
03:38:36,740 --> 03:38:38,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: hindi naman po matatanggalan,

4828
03:38:38,740 --> 03:38:40,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: only to find out na ganun kalaki.

4829
03:38:40,740 --> 03:38:42,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Napakahira po kasi, ang

4830
03:38:42,740 --> 03:38:44,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: hirap pong planuhin ng isang eleksyon

4831
03:38:44,740 --> 03:38:46,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na napaka-critical

4832
03:38:46,740 --> 03:38:48,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa kasaysayan ng ating bansa.

4833
03:38:48,740 --> 03:38:50,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pagkatapos eh,

4834
03:38:50,740 --> 03:38:52,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang budget lang ay kulang na

4835
03:38:52,740 --> 03:38:54,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kulang. So hindi po ito

4836
03:38:54,740 --> 03:38:56,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: exaggeration. Ang sabi nga po

4837
03:38:56,740 --> 03:38:58,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: namin, sasamantalahin namin yung pagharap

4838
03:38:58,740 --> 03:39:00,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: dito. Baka sakali mapapakinggan kami.

4839
03:39:00,740 --> 03:39:02,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Sapagkat, yung kung

4840

COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: nag-iisip sila na may masay-save or

4841
03:39:04,740 --> 03:39:06,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: savings or whatever, mali po sila lahat

4842
03:39:06,740 --> 03:39:08,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: doon. Kasi po sa isang halalan,

4843
03:39:10,740 --> 03:39:12,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yan na lang po yung natitirang weapon

4844
03:39:12,740 --> 03:39:14,740
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng mga mamamayan.

4845

Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And he will be your partner in defending the budget of Comelec from here to the plenary up until the GAE is passed.

5244
04:33:05,220 --> 04:33:07,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So I just have a few comments.

5245
04:33:07,640 --> 04:33:15,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: One thing that I wanted to maybe discuss and align on was something that was brought up earlier.

5246
04:33:15,460 --> 04:33:25,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: This is with regard to any unutilized funds borne out of any potential postponement of the BSKE elections.

5247
04:33:25,700 --> 04:33:36,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And there was a conversation, as manifested by Chair George, that there could be a special provision that can be put into the 2026 GAE.

5248
04:33:36,800 --> 04:33:45,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: That would allow for the utilization of such funds to be used for something else for the following year.

5249
04:33:45,360 --> 04:33:53,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So I just wanted, there was a long conversation about it during the deliberations.

5250
04:33:53,700 --> 04:34:01,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: And I wanted to bring in DBM to weigh in the conversation so that we are aligned.

5251
04:34:01,680 --> 04:34:06,640
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Because several members have manifested support for the inclusion of such.

5252
04:34:07,020 --> 04:34:13,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: special provision during the deliberation of the Budget

5253
04:34:13,780 --> 04:34:14,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Amendments Review Subcommittee. So just

5254
04:34:14,360 --> 04:34:16,300
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to align here, Chair George, just so we're all on the same page,

5255
04:34:16,500 --> 04:34:19,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: may I recognize from the Department of Budget

5256
04:34:19,520 --> 04:34:21,500
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and Management Director Elena Regina Brillantes

5257
04:34:21,500 --> 04:34:31,060
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: if you could please enlighten us

5258
04:34:31,280 --> 04:34:34,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Perhaps one thing I wanted to check on, Director,

5259
04:34:34,080 --> 04:34:36,100
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because we're putting in a 2027—

5260
04:34:36,520 --> 04:34:37,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we're putting in a special

5261
04:34:38,080 --> 04:34:49,820
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: We're putting in a special provision in the 2027 GAA pertaining to a budgetary item that is reflected in the 2026 GAA.

5262
04:34:49,980 --> 04:35:01,340
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So I just wanted to make sure from a technical standpoint that we are okay before we move forward with putting this into the HGAP version of the budget.

5263
04:35:01,340 --> 04:35:09,080
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, Chair George, I would just like to recognize Director Brillantes to enlighten us on the matter.

5264
04:35:10,560 --> 04:35:13,580
DBM Director Elena Regina S. Brillantes: Thank you, Chair. Good evening to all of you.

5265
04:35:14,580 --> 04:35:24,680
DBM Director Elena Regina S. Brillantes: First of all, we would also at DBM, we would like to emphasize that COMELEC is a constitutionally fiscal autonomy agency,

5266
04:35:24,680 --> 04:35:30,060
DBM Director Elena Regina S. Brillantes: which means that in all the budget that they received,

5267
04:35:31,220 --> 04:35:31,320
DBM Director Elena Regina S. Brillantes: and as

5268
04:35:31,340 --> 04:35:39,840
DBM Director Elena Regina S. Brillantes: And as reflected not only in the general provisions, but also in the budget circulars that we issue on the release of funds,

5269
04:35:40,400 --> 04:35:44,360
DBM Director Elena Regina S. Brillantes: other funds are valid until fully spent.

5270
04:35:45,120 --> 04:35:49,820
DBM Director Elena Regina S. Brillantes: But having said that, we pose no objection, Madam Chair,

5271
04:35:50,580 --> 04:35:57,680
DBM Director Elena Regina S. Brillantes: if a special provision is included in the 2027 budget of the COMELEC,

5272
04:35:57,680 --> 04:36:01,320
DBM Director Elena Regina S. Brillantes: just so I believe, as Chair,

5273
04:36:01,320 --> 04:36:08,980
DBM Director Elena Regina S. Brillantes: Chair George said, for transparency, so that even while they are a SIFAG agency,

5274
04:36:09,840 --> 04:36:15,340
DBM Director Elena Regina S. Brillantes: they would like to state in their budget,

5275
04:36:15,600 --> 04:36:25,900
DBM Director Elena Regina S. Brillantes: they would like it stated in their budget that they are being allowed to use the unexpended or unused balances for the BSKE.

5276
04:36:26,240 --> 04:36:27,140
DBM Director Elena Regina S. Brillantes: Thank you, Madam Chair.

5277
04:36:27,140 --> 04:36:30,200
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you, Director Brillantes.

5278
04:36:30,400 --> 04:36:30,900
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chair George?

5279
04:36:31,320 --> 04:36:36,320
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Thank you very much, Madam Chair, and to the DBM Director,

5280
04:36:37,080 --> 04:36:38,240
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: I'm brilliant.

5281
04:36:38,240 --> 04:36:42,460
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: We'd like to appreciate the efforts being extended

5282
04:36:42,460 --> 04:36:45,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: by the Honorable Committee on Appropriation.

5283
04:36:47,520 --> 04:36:50,180
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: The Chairman of the Commission

5284
04:36:50,180 --> 04:36:52,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: under the special provisions,

5285
04:36:52,020 --> 04:36:55,640
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: or we always included in the GAHA,

5286
04:36:55,640 --> 04:36:59,200
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: has the power to realign budget of the Commission.

5287
04:36:59,200 --> 04:37:01,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: That's a constitutionally guaranteed power.

5288
04:37:03,500 --> 04:37:06,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At least two presumptuous at this point,

5289
04:37:06,480 --> 04:37:10,440
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: but we do not want to be a problem

5290
04:37:10,440 --> 04:37:11,640
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: on the part of Congress,

5291
04:37:11,640 --> 04:37:20,520
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: especially sa 16% na natitirang fiscal space po natin. Hindi ayaw po namin makigulo pa doon. Ang sa amin po,

5292
04:37:20,520 --> 04:37:24,560
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: But just in case the SK,

5293
04:37:24,560 --> 04:37:27,420
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Sangguniang Kabataan and Barangay election will not push through,

5294
04:37:27,420 --> 04:37:29,180
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: may unutilized balance po kasi kami na

5295
04:37:29,180 --> 04:37:30,220
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: more or less 10.9 billion and kanina po

5296
04:37:30,220 --> 04:37:52,440
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: dine-defend namin yung natanggal po sa amin more or less is 15 billion pero napaka-critical po sa amin, Madam Chair, yung pong budget more or less 10 billion naman para sa amin pong preparatory national and local election because we wanted everything to happen

5297
04:37:52,440 --> 04:37:53,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: but I want to see it.

5298
04:37:53,480 --> 04:37:54,760
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And it's not just on the request of the Commission,

5299
04:37:54,760 --> 04:37:55,560
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: it's not on the request of the Web.

5300
04:37:55,560 --> 04:37:56,860
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: We have a lot of work left.

5301
04:37:56,860 --> 04:37:57,580
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: I have a number.

5302
04:37:57,580 --> 04:37:58,260
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: It's another concern.

5303
04:37:58,260 --> 04:37:58,720
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: CONGRESSMAN DEAN BARANGAY- It's not just to all of us, because we're so critical.

5304
04:37:58,720 --> 04:38:05,260
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: presidential and vice presidential election. That's why, Madam Chair, subject to formal

5305
04:38:05,260 --> 04:38:11,540
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: communication that will be addressed to the Honourable Chairperson and through the Vice

5306
04:38:11,540 --> 04:38:18,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Chairperson of the Committee, we will be proposing, for record purposes only, the following wordings

5307
04:38:18,800 --> 04:38:26,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: of the special provision. Just in case, Madam Chair, any unexpended balances of the appropriations

5308
04:38:26,500 --> 04:38:30,520
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: authorized for the conduct of the Barangay and Sangguniangkabataan elections shall be

5309
04:38:30,520 --> 04:38:35,620
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: deemed continuing appropriations of the Commission elections and shall remain available as funding

5310
04:38:35,620 --> 04:38:41,520
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: source to cover the preparatory activities for the national and local elections of 2028

5311
04:38:41,520 --> 04:38:47,340
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: and such other lawful expenditures and purposes as may be determined by the Commission.

5312
04:38:47,340 --> 04:38:53,260
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Subject to style and final recommendation of the Committee that will recommend for the

5313
04:38:53,260 --> 04:38:56,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: proper amendment and the proper time where such a motion will be made.

5314
04:38:56,480 --> 04:39:02,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much, Chair George. Actually, that was also what we were thinking.

5315
04:39:02,760 --> 04:39:10,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: But actually, we would like to commend Chairman George because this is something that actually

5316
04:39:10,520 --> 04:39:16,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: promotes transparency as to how the unutilized budget that's supposed to be spent for the

5317
04:39:16,860 --> 04:39:25,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: BSKE would be utilized next year. So, DBM, I believe, just wanted to, before we close

5318
04:39:25,940 --> 04:39:26,320
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: out,

5319
04:39:26,480 --> 04:39:32,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: again, as Chairman George said, this would be subject to final refinement during the

5320
04:39:32,280 --> 04:39:36,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Budget Amendments Review Subcommittee. But may I solicit your thoughts on the initial

5321
04:39:36,680 --> 04:39:39,600
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: wording as put forth by Chairman George?

5322
04:39:39,600 --> 04:39:48,300
DBM Director Elena Regina S. Brillantes: Madam Chair, we have no objection to the wordings and we leave it up to Congress to

5323
04:39:48,300 --> 04:39:55,940
DBM Director Elena Regina S. Brillantes: decide on whether it will still be there included in the budget of the Commelect. Thank you.

5324
04:39:55,940 --> 04:40:00,620
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Thank you very much, Director. Thank you very much, Chairman George, because actually,

5325
04:40:00,620 --> 04:40:06,940
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that also helps us a lot in terms of, because it's going to be, as you mentioned, given

5326
04:40:06,940 --> 04:40:11,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the limited fiscal space, it may be a little bit challenging for us to be able to bridge

5327
04:40:11,740 --> 04:40:21,400
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: the 15 million, sorry, 15 billion deficit that was excluded from the NEP. So, by pretty

5328
04:40:21,400 --> 04:40:25,120
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: pretty much reallocating or just allowing for the continuation of the

5329
04:40:25,120 --> 04:40:28,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: utilization of the 10.9 billion in funds

5330
04:40:28,160 --> 04:40:32,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that would be unutilized should the BSKE

5331
04:40:32,160 --> 04:40:34,800
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: elections be postponed. That would really

5332
04:40:34,800 --> 04:40:36,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: help us a lot also from a fiscal

5333
04:40:36,520 --> 04:40:39,560
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: management standpoint. And again,

5334
04:40:39,560 --> 04:40:41,360
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chair George, I would like to commend the COMELEC

5335
04:40:41,360 --> 04:40:43,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: family. That is actually something

5336
04:40:43,520 --> 04:40:45,960
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: that you did not even have to put in as a

5337
04:40:45,960 --> 04:40:47,680
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: special provision, but in the spirit of

5338
04:40:47,680 --> 04:40:50,040
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: transparency and accountability to our

5339
04:40:50,040 --> 04:40:52,760
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: countrymen. That is actually a special

5340
04:40:52,760 --> 04:40:53,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: provision that would promote

5341
04:40:53,920 --> 04:40:56,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: transparency on how the unutilized funds

5342
04:40:56,280 --> 04:40:58,520
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: would be spent next year. So thank

5343
04:40:58,520 --> 04:40:59,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: you po.

5344
04:40:59,920 --> 04:41:01,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: That is it on my end po.

5345
04:41:01,280 --> 04:41:14,220
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, Chair George will just request for a formal request.

5346
04:41:19,480 --> 04:41:21,740
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: As we mentioned, one of the important reforms

5347
04:41:21,740 --> 04:41:23,780
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we've done in the Committee on Appropriations

5348
04:41:23,780 --> 04:41:27,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: is to subject all requests for institutional amendments

5349
04:41:27,140 --> 04:41:29,480
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: to be deliberated on openly

5350
04:41:29,480 --> 04:41:31,440
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: by the Budget Amendments Review Subcommittee.

5351
04:41:31,440 --> 04:41:33,880
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, we'll wait for that letter po,

5352
04:41:33,880 --> 04:41:37,700
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Chair George, from you and the Comelec family.

5353
04:41:37,700 --> 04:41:40,720
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: If possible po, Chair, tomorrow.

5354
04:41:40,720 --> 04:41:43,280
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Okay, sige po, because we plan on convening

5355
04:41:43,280 --> 04:41:46,140
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Bar C in a week or so.

5356
04:41:46,140 --> 04:41:47,920
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: So, thank you very much, Chair George.

5357
04:41:47,920 --> 04:41:52,860
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Before we terminate, I would like to recognize,

5358
04:41:52,860 --> 04:41:56,160
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: sorry, I would like to recognize

5359
04:41:56,160 --> 04:41:58,660
Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Senior Deputy Speaker Dinand.

5360
04:41:59,820 --> 04:42:00,920
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Thank you, Madam Chair.

5361
04:42:01,440 --> 04:42:02,440
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Quick question lang.

5362
04:42:02,440 --> 04:42:07,440
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: What is the position of Comelec regarding the proposed

5363
04:42:09,920 --> 04:42:14,640
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: and being presented in the plenary right now,

5364
04:42:14,640 --> 04:42:19,000
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: the fixing of the term of Barangay election

5365
04:42:19,000 --> 04:42:20,840
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: and of course, the S-K election?

5366
04:42:21,780 --> 04:42:23,500
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Maraming salamat po, Madam Chair,

5367
04:42:23,500 --> 04:42:27,260
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: at your honors, our SDS.

5368
04:42:27,260 --> 04:42:28,980
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: As far as the Comelec is concerned,

5369
04:42:28,980 --> 04:42:30,600
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: again, we would like to reiterate,

5370
04:42:30,600 --> 04:42:31,420
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: it is an absolute, absolutely, absolute, absolute, absolute,

5371
04:42:31,440 --> 04:42:32,200
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: absolute authority of Congress,

5372
04:42:32,200 --> 04:42:36,520
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: the sole authority of Congress to fix the term

5373
04:42:36,520 --> 04:42:38,760
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: of Barangay and S-K officials.

5374
04:42:38,760 --> 04:42:40,840
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Which means to say, according to the Supreme Court,

5375
04:42:40,840 --> 04:42:45,060
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: in one case, sole means to the exclusion of any other body.

5376
04:42:45,060 --> 04:42:47,180
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And that's the reason why in 2025,

5377
04:42:47,180 --> 04:42:50,700
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: during the time that the Congress was debating

5378
04:42:50,700 --> 04:42:54,160
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: and had passed a term fixing legislation,

5379
04:42:54,160 --> 04:42:56,560
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: it was never restrained by the Supreme Court.

5380
04:42:56,560 --> 04:42:59,600
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: It was even affirmed by the honorable Supreme Court.

5381
04:42:59,600 --> 04:42:59,920
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And so, if that is the case, go ahead.

5382
04:42:59,920 --> 04:43:00,640
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: I'd like to be the speaker.

5383
04:43:00,640 --> 04:43:07,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: If that is the case, then we will definitely respect the exercise of authority of Congress of that power to fix the term.

5384
04:43:07,800 --> 04:43:17,020
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Whether it be five years, whether it be two consecutive terms, as far as the common law is concerned, we will implement whatever is the wisdom of Congress.

5385
04:43:17,700 --> 04:43:22,240
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Were you invited in the deliberation in the Senate?

5386
04:43:23,320 --> 04:43:24,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yes, Mr. Chair.

5387
04:43:24,740 --> 04:43:25,940
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: You gave the same position.

5388
04:43:26,080 --> 04:43:29,480
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yes, the same position that only Congress has the sole authority.

5389
04:43:29,480 --> 04:43:38,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: In fact, Mr. Chair, the Supreme Court mentioned that when it comes to the fixing of the term, it is the sole authority of Congress.

5390
04:43:39,800 --> 04:43:46,400
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Yes, the reason why I'm asking this is because, of course, it's important in the budget.

5391
04:43:46,400 --> 04:43:58,520
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Remember, I asked you about postponement as against fixing of term during the deliberation of your budget, budget deliberation.

5392
04:43:58,820 --> 04:43:58,840
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Is that right?

5393
04:43:58,840 --> 04:44:06,940
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: No, no, during the suffrage, you know, and it is quite clear the difference between fixing and postponement.

5394
04:44:06,940 --> 04:44:28,100
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: And finally, from postponement, now it's being presented in the plenary, and I think it will pass on second reading tonight while we deliberate here.

5395
04:44:28,840 --> 04:44:34,120
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: And probably it will take, maybe next week, no?

5396
04:44:34,280 --> 04:44:36,400
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Maybe it will be approved on third reading.

5397
04:44:37,060 --> 04:44:50,040
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Then there will be bicam, and what do you think will be the, your preparation, let's say it was approved here, it was also approved in the Senate, then of course it will be bicam.

5398
04:44:50,040 --> 04:44:53,220
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: There might be difference in the term, no?

5399
04:44:53,680 --> 04:44:59,860
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: I think the proposal of Senate is three terms, three consecutive.

5400
04:45:00,000 --> 04:45:01,960
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: terms. Right now, it's three

5401
04:45:01,960 --> 04:45:03,520
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: but however, I think

5402
04:45:03,520 --> 04:45:05,840
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: somebody will propose an

5403
04:45:05,840 --> 04:45:07,260
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: amendment for two terms.

5404
04:45:08,640 --> 04:45:09,880
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: And magbabay kami yan.

5405
04:45:10,720 --> 04:45:11,480
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Ano yung

5406
04:45:11,480 --> 04:45:14,220
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: timeline na kailangan ninyo?

5407
04:45:15,680 --> 04:45:16,020
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Kasi

5408
04:45:16,020 --> 04:45:18,280

5439
04:46:19,660 --> 04:46:21,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: on the part of the Commission. At least po,

5440
04:46:22,020 --> 04:46:23,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: hanggat hindi kami nag-notice to proceed,

5441

COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung notice to proceed

5449
04:46:39,600 --> 04:46:41,940
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: para hindi naman mag-deliver kaagad. At least po,

5450
04:46:42,280 --> 04:46:43,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa kasalukuyan, sila ang may

5451

5454
04:46:49,880 --> 04:46:51,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: mang pumangyari sa quality,

5455
04:46:51,980 --> 04:46:53,840
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: cargo pa po nila yun, hindi po kay Comelec.

5456
04:46:53,920 --> 04:46:54,600
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Wala pong nasayang.

5457
04:46:56,000 --> 04:46:58,040
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: You're still bound by the contract

5458
04:46:58,040 --> 04:46:59,800
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: even if election will

5459
04:46:59,800 --> 04:47:01,860
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: be in November of

5460
04:47:01,860 --> 04:47:03,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 2028. Yes, I guess

5461
04:47:03,780 --> 04:47:05,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: that should be the proper interpretation

5462
04:47:05,800 --> 04:47:07,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: because nag-underwent naman po

5463
04:47:07,360 --> 04:47:09,080
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng procurement process.

5464
04:47:09,500 --> 04:47:11,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung mismong nanalo at even the commission

5465
04:47:11,780 --> 04:47:12,300
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng elections.

5466
04:47:13,620 --> 04:47:16,020
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Let's say, let's just assume for the sake

5467
04:47:16,020 --> 04:47:17,960
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: of argument that

5468
04:47:17,960 --> 04:47:19,800
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: postponed na nga

5469
04:47:19,800 --> 04:47:21,700
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: and then you did not

5470
04:47:21,700 --> 04:47:23,340
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: issue notice of award.

5471
04:47:24,040 --> 04:47:26,080
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Hindi ba yan magiging part

5472
04:47:26,080 --> 04:47:27,660
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: ng savings ninyo

5473
04:47:27,660 --> 04:47:29,480
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: that you will be allowed?

5474
04:47:29,800 --> 04:47:31,340
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: If may fiscal autonomy kayo,

5475
04:47:31,840 --> 04:47:33,720
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: na kung ano man yung kakulangan ninyo,

5476
04:47:34,560 --> 04:47:35,860
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: gagamitin nyo muna dito

5477
04:47:35,860 --> 04:47:37,700
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: and then later on,

5478
04:47:37,860 --> 04:47:39,360
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: sa kanyo,

5479
04:47:39,360 --> 04:47:40,220
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: sa kanyo na

5480
04:47:40,220 --> 04:47:43,380
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: hihingin yung budget to cover

5481
04:47:43,380 --> 04:47:44,580
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: for that contract.

5482
04:47:44,940 --> 04:47:47,520
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Mukha pong na-issue na po namin ang lahat ng notice of award.

5483
04:47:47,640 --> 04:47:49,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Wala na lang po notice to proceed.

5484
04:47:50,280 --> 04:47:51,060
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And therefore,

5485
04:47:51,520 --> 04:47:52,660
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: mas makakatipid pa nga po,

5486
04:47:52,760 --> 04:47:56,080
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Madam Chair. Kasi kung sakali po,

5487
04:47:56,180 --> 04:47:57,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kung kailan man nyo po marireset

5488
04:47:57,800 --> 04:47:59,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: halimbawa ang election, as a result,

5489
04:47:59,800 --> 04:48:00,760
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: of the term fixing,

5490
04:48:01,740 --> 04:48:03,900
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: then, mas mura po di hamak yung ngayon

5491
04:48:03,900 --> 04:48:04,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kesa po yung later.

5492
04:48:06,000 --> 04:48:07,620
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Okay. So, di masasayang?

5493
04:48:07,740 --> 04:48:08,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Di po masasayang.

5494
04:48:09,380 --> 04:48:11,620
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: So, well, I'm asking

5495
04:48:11,620 --> 04:48:13,800
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: kasi nga, we're talking about fiscal autonomy

5496
04:48:13,800 --> 04:48:15,300
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: and you will be given

5497
04:48:15,300 --> 04:48:17,480
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: a wide latitude

5498
04:48:17,480 --> 04:48:19,160
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: considering that

5499
04:48:19,160 --> 04:48:21,580
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Chair already mentioned that

5500
04:48:21,580 --> 04:48:23,840
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: you only need a special provision.

5501
04:48:24,520 --> 04:48:25,860
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Sa laki nung nabawa sa inyo,

5502
04:48:26,560 --> 04:48:26,940
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: so,

5503
04:48:26,940 --> 04:48:28,940
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: mas malaki yung

5504
04:48:29,800 --> 04:48:31,840
Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: pagkukunan ninyo in the event

5505

5508
04:48:38,960 --> 04:48:40,080
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kahit po paano,

5509
04:48:40,680 --> 04:48:42,800
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: again, makakatulong na kami

5510
04:48:42,800 --> 04:48:45,360
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: doon sa Committee on Appropriation,

5511

5512
04:48:47,780 --> 04:48:48,380
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: at least po,

5513
04:48:48,940 --> 04:48:50,640
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: walang bibitawan, walang kukuhanin,

5514
04:48:50,860 --> 04:48:51,240
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: walang,

5515
04:48:51,980 --> 04:48:54,780
COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: wala kaming kukuhanan ng budget from other departments

5516
04:48:54,780 --> 04:48:56,440
