Garcia: More or less yung po yung filing natin. asr-000146 00:11:04.170 --> 00:11:05.750 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Mas maaga ng ilang araw lang. asr-000147 00:11:06.330 --> 00:11:06.830 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Bakit po? asr-000148 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. asr-000149 00:11:12.270 --> 00:11:16.270 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung pong pinopropose sa amin, and I will explain later, asr-000150 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. asr-000151 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, asr-000152 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. asr-000153 00:11:41.290 --> 00:11:43.150 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Dapat po nakapag-cleansing na kami. asr-000154 00:11:43.290 --> 00:11:45.490 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Dapat po pumasok na yung mga petisyon for exclusivity. asr-000155 00:11:46.270 --> 00:11:48.230 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Inclusion sa mga courts. asr-000156 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. asr-000157 00:11:52.730 --> 00:11:52.930 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Why? asr-000158 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. asr-000159 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. asr-000160 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. asr-000161 00:12:14.990 --> 00:12:16.030 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Especially yung mga disqualify. asr-000162 00:12:16.270 --> 00:12:18.110 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Diniclare namin NUISAN's candidates. asr-000163 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. asr-000164 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. asr-000165 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. asr-000166 00:12:42.870 --> 00:12:46.050 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pag po automated election, we have to print the names. asr-000167 00:12:46.270 --> 00:12:48.850 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Of the candidates sa balota natin. asr-000168 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. asr-000169 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. asr-000170 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. asr-000171 00:13:08.730 --> 00:13:10.550 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Wala po sanong problema kung local. asr-000172 00:13:10.550 --> 00:13:12.590 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kasi hindi pa naman po kami nagsisimula. asr-000173 00:13:13.150 --> 00:13:15.550 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Doon sa mga local positions na... asr-000174 00:13:16.270 --> 00:13:17.710 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Na nakakuha ng restraining order. asr-000175 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. asr-000176 00:13:21.970 --> 00:13:23.410 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Then, we have to comply. asr-000177 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. asr-000178 00:13:29.730 --> 00:13:30.590 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Doon sa list. asr-000179 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. asr-000180 00:13:34.010 --> 00:13:37.350 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Para maaga po namin makumpleto ang list of candidates. asr-000181 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. asr-000182 00:13:40.750 --> 00:13:45.670 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So therefore, critical po ang 2027 sa preparation natin. asr-000183 00:13:46.270 --> 00:13:49.890 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi po dapat pinagkakasya ang lahat sa 2028. asr-000184 00:13:50.390 --> 00:13:53.070 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kasi po sa 2028, kung ang election natin is May, asr-000185 00:13:53.990 --> 00:13:58.470 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: napakahira po na January, February, March, magpuprint ka ng balota. asr-000186 00:13:58.550 --> 00:14:00.150 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pag may nagka-problema, you have to repeat. asr-000187 00:14:00.530 --> 00:14:03.290 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And magkakakompromise yung printing natin ng balota. asr-000188 00:14:03.690 --> 00:14:06.270 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So dito po sa makina namin, ang projection po namin, asr-000189 00:14:06.270 --> 00:14:09.870 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa 1.51 billion, asr-000190 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. asr-000191 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, asr-000192 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. asr-000193 00:14:29.590 --> 00:14:31.690 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pagka po hindi po naibalik sa amin yun, asr-000194 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. asr-000195 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. asr-000196 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. asr-000197 00:14:44.870 --> 00:14:45.990 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: But if not, asr-000198 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. asr-000199 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, asr-000200 00:14:54.190 --> 00:14:56.390 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kahit yung mga nakatatanda may kapansanan, asr-000201 00:14:56.390 --> 00:15:00.190 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: simply because what was given to us only was asr-000202 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.920 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 21.66 billion, less than 1.51 billion. asr-000203 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 asr-000204 00:15:15.500 --> 00:15:19.380 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sapagkat yung 10,000 po dyan ay contingency machines. asr-000205 00:15:19.560 --> 00:15:21.260 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: We need contingency machines. asr-000206 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. asr-000207 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. asr-000208 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. asr-000209 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. asr-000210 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. asr-000211 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. asr-000212 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. asr-000213 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. asr-000214 00:16:19.140 --> 00:16:20.260 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Na tinanggal po sa amin. asr-000215 00:16:20.380 --> 00:16:22.400 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: E yung pong printing of ballots. asr-000216 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. asr-000217 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. asr-000218 00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:34.000 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 1.7 to 1.8. asr-000219 00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:38.240 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At 800 million po ang ating voters information sheet. asr-000220 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. asr-000221 00:16:42.220 --> 00:16:43.980 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: That's 888 million pesos. asr-000222 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. asr-000223 00:16:48.580 --> 00:16:50.180 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At yung mismo nasa loob. asr-000224 00:16:50.380 --> 00:16:53.000 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Na list kung saan pumipirma yung mga botante natin. asr-000225 00:16:53.280 --> 00:16:55.300 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: That's why we asked for 3.2 billion. asr-000226 00:16:55.900 --> 00:16:59.540 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Binigyan lang po kami, your honors, ng 348. asr-000227 00:17:01.180 --> 00:17:01.740 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 348. asr-000228 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. asr-000229 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. asr-000230 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, asr-000231 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. asr-000232 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. asr-000233 00:17:29.340 --> 00:17:32.380 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Meaning, no printing can be done by Comelec. asr-000234 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? asr-000235 00:17:37.320 --> 00:17:39.800 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Siguro po mapiprint namin doon, list of voters. asr-000236 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:43.300 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yun lang po mapiprint namin, but not the ballots. asr-000237 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, asr-000238 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. asr-000239 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. asr-000240 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, asr-000241 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 asr-000242 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. asr-000243 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. asr-000244 00:18:17.340 --> 00:18:20.340 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: We wanted to start again by December of 2020. asr-000245 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. asr-000246 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, asr-000247 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. asr-000248 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. asr-000249 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. asr-000250 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. asr-000251 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, asr-000252 00:19:14.580 --> 00:19:16.480 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: including yung mga mock elections. asr-000253 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. asr-000254 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. asr-000255 00:19:28.080 --> 00:19:30.620 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And meron pa po tayong demo ballots. asr-000256 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. asr-000257 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. asr-000258 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, asr-000259 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. asr-000260 00:19:49.800 --> 00:19:51.620 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Masakit na yung mismong agency budget. asr-000261 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. asr-000262 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. asr-000263 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. asr-000264 00:20:12.980 --> 00:20:15.960 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ibang klase po kasi yung packaging natin. asr-000265 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. asr-000266 00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:26.440 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M.

Garcia: Although, malaking bagay yun. asr-001222 01:04:00.560 --> 01:04:06.040 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M.

Erice: Ngayon po, kung magkailangan nyo na napakalaking pondo, asr-001240 01:05:18.160 --> 01:05:22.880 Rep. Edgar R. Erice: i-restore yung 9 billion, tingin ko napakaliit ng fiscal space natin. asr-001241 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. asr-001242 01:05:32.880 --> 01:05:34.680 Rep. Edgar R.

Simply asr-001442 01:14:04.900 --> 01:14:06.980 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M.

Wala na po kaming 2019. asr-001461 01:14:43.360 --> 01:14:44.460 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M.

Flores: 62.47 case disposition. asr-001466 01:14:53.100 --> 01:14:53.620 Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Tama po ba? asr-001467 01:14:54.920 --> 01:14:56.740 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Hindi lang po sa aming asr-001468 01:14:56.740 --> 01:14:59.060 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: clerk of the commission, kung hindi asr-001469 01:14:59.060 --> 01:14:59.840 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: po sa election. asr-001470 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. asr-001471 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, asr-001472 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. asr-001473 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. asr-001474 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. asr-001475 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. asr-001476 01:15:35.080 --> 01:15:37.700 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Meron po kasi mga nag-motion for reconsideration. asr-001477 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. asr-001478 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. asr-001479 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? asr-001480 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. asr-001481 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. asr-001482 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? asr-001483 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? asr-001484 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. asr-001485 01:16:19.460 --> 01:16:22.760 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Especially yung mga donations. Especially yung mga overspending. asr-001486 01:16:23.680 --> 01:16:25.700 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Madami po silang finile dyan. asr-001487 01:16:25.880 --> 01:16:28.740 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung iba po, Mr. Chair, yung naabutan namin dati, asr-001488 01:16:29.240 --> 01:16:29.980 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung mga cases, asr-001489 01:16:30.000 --> 01:16:31.160 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: yung mga cases ng SK. asr-001490 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, asr-001491 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. asr-001492 01:16:42.020 --> 01:16:43.200 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Magaling po yung mga iba eh. asr-001493 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, asr-001494 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. asr-001495 01:16:51.060 --> 01:16:52.380 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ngayon po, may solusyon kami. asr-001496 01:16:52.860 --> 01:16:55.200 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kaya po noong 2023, kumunti po ang nag-file. asr-001497 01:16:55.540 --> 01:16:55.980 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Bakit po? asr-001498 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. asr-001499 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, asr-001500 01:17:05.820 --> 01:17:06.880 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: we will not accept anymore. asr-001501 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. asr-001502 01:17:10.780 --> 01:17:13.000 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Para lang po, hindi na 7,000 ang bilang. asr-001503 01:17:13.480 --> 01:17:16.000 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yung po mga kandidato for barangay candidates, asr-001504 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. asr-001505 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, asr-001506 01:17:26.800 --> 01:17:29.720 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: we will also not accept their certificates of candidacy. asr-001512 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. asr-001513 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 asr-001514 01:17:39.260 --> 01:17:42.020 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: basta may pag-observe ng due process. asr-001515 01:17:42.780 --> 01:17:43.220 Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Ito po. asr-001516 01:17:43.320 --> 01:17:49.160 Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: But what happens if, example, 2022 pa, may overspending sa SOSE, asr-001517 01:17:49.280 --> 01:17:51.540 Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: hindi pa na-actionan ng law department ninyo, asr-001518 01:17:51.820 --> 01:17:54.220 Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: ay mag-pre-prescribe na iyan sa 2027, tama ba? asr-001519 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, asr-001520 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. asr-001521 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. asr-001522 01:18:11.140 --> 01:18:14.700 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kung walang kilos si Comelec, wala man lang pong initiation, asr-001523 01:18:15.160 --> 01:18:17.540 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: wala namang election, wala pong preliminary investigation, asr-001524 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 asr-001525 01:18:23.440 --> 01:18:26.300 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: on the speedy disposition of cases. asr-001526 01:18:26.300 --> 01:18:27.780 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: But once nagsimula na po kami, asr-001527 01:18:28.240 --> 01:18:28.940 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: hindi na po mai-invoke sa asr-001528 01:18:28.960 --> 01:18:30.240 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: amin yung five years. asr-001529 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? asr-001530 01:18:36.060 --> 01:18:38.240 Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: Kasi it's stated in the SOSE, di ba? asr-001531 01:18:38.300 --> 01:18:39.880 Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: It's under oath, it's submitted to you. asr-001532 01:18:40.380 --> 01:18:42.560 Rep. Jonathan Keith T.

Garcia: nag-report, so kaya po namin makompare yun. asr-001544 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, asr-001545 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. asr-001546 01:19:31.200 --> 01:19:33.660 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Wala po kaming regular office na yun. asr-001547 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. asr-001548 01:19:38.120 --> 01:19:42.200 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M.

Flores: for the restoration because of the dangers that we will be facing asr-001552 01:19:53.040 --> 01:19:55.980 Rep. Jonathan Keith T.

Flores: of the budget that they are asking for. asr-001554 01:19:58.160 --> 01:20:03.100 Rep. Jonathan Keith T.

Flores: Kasi the thing I hate the most is when a case is filed, tapos muntik na mag-election, asr-001556 01:20:09.100 --> 01:20:11.640 Rep. Jonathan Keith T. Flores: tsaka pa mag-de-decide si Comelec. asr-001557 01:20:11.780 --> 01:20:17.640 Rep. Jonathan Keith T.

Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Meron lang po ilang mga paglilinaw na nais makuhang kinatawang ito. asr-001568 01:20:48.640 --> 01:20:50.920 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Regarding po ito sa BARM elections, asr-001569 01:20:51.900 --> 01:20:55.760 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: just recently po, meron pong kinansila ng candidacy ang Comelec. asr-001570 01:20:56.060 --> 01:20:57.760 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Ito po yung... asr-001571 01:20:58.620 --> 01:21:01.840 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Candidacy ni Anwar Alamada. asr-001572 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? asr-001573 01:21:09.660 --> 01:21:10.800 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M.

Garcia: Without violating, because this is a hearing, without violating the rule on subjudice, asr-001575 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, asr-001576 01:21:23.020 --> 01:21:25.960 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: the reason is because of the lack of residency. asr-001577 01:21:26.580 --> 01:21:28.600 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Doon po kasi ay nagkaroon ng certification. asr-001578 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. asr-001579 01:21:34.260 --> 01:21:37.120 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: May decision po tayo, three cases by the Supreme Court, asr-001580 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, asr-001581 01:21:44.900 --> 01:21:46.980 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: being the one in charge of the place. asr-001582 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, asr-001583 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, asr-001584 01:21:55.680 --> 01:21:58.300 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: he was not able to establish domicile in that place. asr-001585 01:21:58.620 --> 01:22:01.440 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: Thank you, Chair Garcia, doon po sa sagot niyo. asr-001586 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. asr-001587 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. asr-001588 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, asr-001589 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. asr-001590 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, asr-001591 01:22:28.620 --> 01:22:29.560 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: yung pangkapayapaan. asr-001592 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, asr-001593 01:22:39.340 --> 01:22:43.980 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: siya po ay isang senior MILF official, freedom fighter. asr-001594 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, asr-001595 01:22:49.900 --> 01:22:57.040 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: talagang wala siyang mapagtitirmisan na lugar kung saan siya nakatira. asr-001596 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 asr-001597 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. asr-001598 01:23:12.020 --> 01:23:13.440 Rep. Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: At yun po yung sinusunod ng Comelec. asr-001599 01:23:13.920 --> 01:23:16.940 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Salamat po, Mr. Chair. Tama po ang inyong napuntos. asr-001600 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 asr-001601 01:23:23.340 --> 01:23:25.320 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na desisyonan ang kaso na ito. asr-001602 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, asr-001603 01:23:28.620 --> 01:23:31.560 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: we did not remove his name sa balota. asr-001604 01:23:31.960 --> 01:23:34.000 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pinrint po namin yung kanyang pangalan sa balota. asr-001605 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. asr-001606 01:23:39.960 --> 01:23:41.120 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Pwede po sana namin gawin yun. asr-001607 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 asr-001608 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. asr-001609 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, asr-001610 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, asr-001611 01:23:54.720 --> 01:23:56.360 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: then at least po, Mr. Chair, asr-001612 01:23:56.860 --> 01:23:58.600 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: lahat po ng voto niya will be considered, asr-001613 01:23:58.620 --> 01:24:02.480 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: valid at hindi po siya makukonsider na stray votes. asr-001614 01:24:02.600 --> 01:24:05.000 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At least binigyan po namin ng panahon siya. asr-001615 01:24:05.340 --> 01:24:07.400 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: At least po, yung more than two weeks na yan, asr-001616 01:24:07.820 --> 01:24:09.820 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: hopefully po makapunta siya sa Korte Suprema. asr-001617 01:24:09.960 --> 01:24:13.240 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Number three, talaga pong sana because of this case, asr-001618 01:24:13.900 --> 01:24:17.900 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: maging opportunity po ito sa ating kataas-taasang hukuman asr-001619 01:24:17.900 --> 01:24:20.480 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: upang malinaw yung mga ganyang bagay. asr-001620 01:24:20.580 --> 01:24:22.420 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: For example, tama po yung binabanggit ng inyong, asr-001621 01:24:22.600 --> 01:24:25.780 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: your honor, ng inyo po. asr-001622 01:24:26.160 --> 01:24:28.580 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Paano yung halimbawa po yung ating mga kababayan, asr-001623 01:24:28.620 --> 01:24:31.620 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na peripatetic, yung bang meron siyang, asr-001624 01:24:31.620 --> 01:24:34.620 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: meron po siya ay nangangalaka lang, asr-001625 01:24:34.620 --> 01:24:37.620 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: pagkatapos ay napupunta sa bawat bayan, asr-001626 01:24:37.620 --> 01:24:40.620 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: saan mo siya kukonsider na domicile? asr-001627 01:24:40.620 --> 01:24:43.620 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Tama po kayo, walang domicile yung technically eh, asr-001628 01:24:43.620 --> 01:24:45.620 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: but we have to understand that situation. asr-001629 01:24:45.620 --> 01:24:47.620 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Our problem po talaga lang, Mr. Chair, asr-001630 01:24:47.620 --> 01:24:51.620 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: is because of the requirements of the Local Government Code, asr-001631 01:24:51.620 --> 01:24:54.620 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: of the requirements of the Bangsamoro Electoral Code, asr-001632 01:24:54.620 --> 01:24:56.620 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: and of the consistent decision of the Supreme Court asr-001633 01:24:56.620 --> 01:24:57.620 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: na it comes to domicile. asr-001634 01:24:57.620 --> 01:24:58.620 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Thank you. asr-001635 01:24:58.620 --> 01:25:01.620 Rep.

Elijah Rumbaoa San Fernando: and the Bangsamoro people. asr-001647 01:25:35.620 --> 01:25:39.620 Rep.

Tinio: ang pangunahing concern natin asr-002254 01:51:22.900 --> 01:51:25.140 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ngayon ay yung asr-002255 01:51:25.140 --> 01:51:27.140 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: honorarium asr-002256 01:51:27.140 --> 01:51:28.780 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ng mga teachers. asr-002257 01:51:30.000 --> 01:51:31.280 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Of course, asr-002258 01:51:31.520 --> 01:51:32.320 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: as of now, asr-002259 01:51:33.040 --> 01:51:33.280 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay, asr-002260 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. asr-002261 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. asr-002262 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. asr-002263 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? asr-002264 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. asr-002265 01:52:19.100 --> 01:52:27.660 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Meaning to say, ngayon po ang chairman of the board ay 12,000, ang member vice chair ay 11,000 at yung third member ay 10,000 pesos. asr-002266 01:52:27.660 --> 01:52:32.320 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Iba pa po yung honoraria ng ating deso at yung mga support staff. asr-002267 01:52:32.340 --> 01:52:35.880 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ninagdagan din po natin yun ng additional 2,000 pesos. asr-002268 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. asr-002269 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. asr-002270 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. asr-002271 01:52:55.640 --> 01:52:58.020 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: That's also, that's very reasonable kung tutuusin po. asr-002272 01:52:58.020 --> 01:52:59.900 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Mabigyan lang po tayo ng budget. asr-002273 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. asr-002274 01:53:03.760 --> 01:53:07.100 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Bakit po mas mahirap? Binibilang po manually ang balota. asr-002275 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, asr-002276 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. asr-002277 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. asr-002278 01:53:27.280 --> 01:53:29.280 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So abutin po eh na hanggang... asr-002279 01:53:29.900 --> 01:53:31.900 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Tapos iba pa po yung pag-deliver. asr-002280 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... asr-002281 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. asr-002282 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. asr-002283 01:53:46.900 --> 01:53:48.900 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Ginawa po natin 10 araw yan. asr-002284 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. asr-002285 01:53:52.900 --> 01:53:54.900 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Wala pong expiry date. asr-002286 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. asr-002287 01:53:59.660 --> 01:54:02.660 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Kung saan po na-entitled yung mga guru natin. asr-002288 01:54:02.660 --> 01:54:04.660 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay. Ngayon, so... asr-002289 01:54:04.660 --> 01:54:05.660 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Again, Chair. asr-002290 01:54:05.660 --> 01:54:12.660 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Kung matuloy yung eleksyon, magkano ang budget para sa onorarium? asr-002291 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, asr-002292 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. asr-002293 01:54:26.660 --> 01:54:28.660 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So more or less po kung hanggang 15,000 niya. asr-002294 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. asr-002295 01:54:34.660 --> 01:54:37.660 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay. So kailangan natin ng... asr-002296 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, asr-002297 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. asr-002298 01:54:54.660 --> 01:54:55.660 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Nagdagdag? asr-002299 01:54:55.660 --> 01:54:57.660 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yes po. Yes po, Mr. Chair. asr-002300 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. asr-002301 01:55:01.660 --> 01:55:06.660 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Okay. For increase, kailangan ng 2 to 2.5 billion. asr-002302 01:55:06.660 --> 01:55:11.660 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Pwede po bang mas i-formalize natin yung amount? asr-002303 01:55:11.660 --> 01:55:18.660 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Baka pwedeng makahingi tayo ng data and position paper. asr-002304 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, asr-002305 01:55:27.660 --> 01:55:31.660 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: ay haharapin pa rin itong usapin ng onorarium ng mga teachers. asr-002306 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. asr-002307 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. asr-002308 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. asr-002309 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, asr-002310 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. asr-002311 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. asr-002312 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. asr-002313 01:56:26.660 --> 01:56:28.660 Rep. Antonio L. Tinio: Tama po ba, Vice Chair? asr-002314 01:56:28.660 --> 01:56:29.660 Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan: Yes po. asr-002315 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. asr-002316 01:56:35.660 --> 01:56:37.660 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Maraming salamat po. asr-002317 01:56:37.660 --> 01:56:39.660 Rep. Keith Micah "Atty. Mike" D.L. Tan: ... asr-002318 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. asr-002319 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. asr-002320 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. asr-002321 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. asr-002322 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. asr-002323 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. asr-002325 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. asr-002326 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, asr-002327 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, asr-002328 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. asr-002329 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. asr-002330 01:58:50.860 --> 01:58:52.860 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: So sure po yan, na yan ay import, mag-iimport. asr-002332 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. asr-002333 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. asr-002334 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? asr-002335 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. asr-002336 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. asr-002337 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. asr-002338 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. asr-002339 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... asr-002340 02:00:00.000 --> 02:00:00.920 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Korte Suprema asr-002341 02:00:00.920 --> 02:00:03.720 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: upang questionin ang aksyon asr-002342 02:00:03.720 --> 02:00:05.900 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ni Comelec. Kung kami po asr-002343 02:00:05.900 --> 02:00:07.680 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ay magpapaimprinta ng January asr-002344 02:00:07.680 --> 02:00:09.460 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: dahil doon lang po yung budget natin sa asr-002345 02:00:09.460 --> 02:00:12.000 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: 2028, biglang may nag-issue asr-002346 02:00:12.000 --> 02:00:13.060 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng TRO ngayon asr-002347 02:00:13.060 --> 02:00:16.080 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: for national candidate. Remember po, asr-002348 02:00:16.120 --> 02:00:17.360 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M.

Garcia: wala pa po sa kamay ni KOMELIC yun. asr-004102 02:58:46.500 --> 02:58:48.040 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Nasa DBM pa rin po ito hanggang asr-004103 02:58:48.040 --> 02:58:48.820 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa kasalukuyan. asr-004104 02:58:49.720 --> 02:58:52.060 Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: Maraming salamat po sa maliwanag niyong asr-004105 02:58:52.060 --> 02:58:53.380 Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: pagpapaliwanag. asr-004106 02:58:53.940 --> 02:58:56.020 Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: Sa isa pong asr-004107 02:58:56.020 --> 02:58:58.260 Rep. Amado Carlos A.

Bolilia IV: siya, ay he wants asr-004113 02:59:07.960 --> 02:59:10.180 Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: to abolish the Sangguniang Kabataan. asr-004114 02:59:10.580 --> 02:59:11.980 Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: Siyempre, that includes the election asr-004115 02:59:11.980 --> 02:59:14.020 Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: of Sangguniang Kabataan. Ano po ang pananaw asr-004116 02:59:14.020 --> 02:59:15.740 Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: niyo dito? At kung sakasakali, asr-004117 02:59:15.940 --> 02:59:16.840 Rep. Amado Carlos A. Bolilia IV: eh, bakit? asr-004118 02:59:17.380 --> 02:59:18.940 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Maraming salamat po. And this is without asr-004119 02:59:18.940 --> 02:59:21.820 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: reference to the statement po of the asr-004120 02:59:21.820 --> 02:59:23.820 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Honorable Secretary of the DILG. asr-004121 02:59:23.940 --> 02:59:25.700 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Personal po ito at bilang asr-004122 02:59:25.700 --> 02:59:27.960 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: part ng komisyon at bilang isang asr-004123 02:59:27.960 --> 02:59:29.680 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: nagturo din po ng batas. Ang asr-004124 02:59:29.680 --> 02:59:32.000 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: karapatan po ng mga kabataan ay guaranteed asr-004125 02:59:32.000 --> 02:59:33.920 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ng saligang batas sa Article 2 on asr-004126 02:59:33.920 --> 02:59:35.940 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Declaration of Policies and State asr-004127 02:59:35.940 --> 02:59:38.260 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Declaration of Principles and State Policy. asr-004128 02:59:38.720 --> 02:59:40.360 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Nangangulugan, hindi lang po kababaihan asr-004129 02:59:40.360 --> 02:59:42.000 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang ginagaransyang may participation asr-004130 02:59:42.000 --> 02:59:44.020 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa nation building kung hindi mismo asr-004131 02:59:44.020 --> 02:59:46.000 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang kabataan. Ang SK po asr-004132 02:59:46.000 --> 02:59:48.420 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ay isang instrumento upang mas mapagtibay asr-004133 02:59:48.420 --> 02:59:49.940 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang partisipasyon ng kabataan asr-004134 02:59:50.460 --> 02:59:52.080 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: sa paglinang asr-004135 02:59:52.080 --> 02:59:53.460 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: at pagbuo ng ating pong asr-004136 02:59:53.940 --> 02:59:55.420 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: mabuhunan. At dahil po dyan, asr-004137 02:59:56.180 --> 02:59:57.700 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: kung tatanggalin po natin ang sangguni asr-004138 02:59:57.700 --> 03:00:00.000 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: ang kabataan, paano po ang partisipasyon ng kabataan? asr-004139 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. asr-004140 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. asr-004141 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. asr-004142 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. asr-004143 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. asr-004144 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. asr-004145 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, asr-004146 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. asr-004147 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, asr-004148 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. asr-004149 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. asr-004150 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. asr-004151 03:02:27.220 --> 03:02:30.180 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Barangay ng SK election. So ano pong ibig sabihin natin? asr-004152 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. asr-004153 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. asr-004154 03:02:53.780 --> 03:02:56.500 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Nagsasatellite. Meron pa nga po kami, kanina binanggit ko. asr-004155 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. asr-004156 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. asr-004157 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. asr-004158 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. asr-004159 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. asr-004160 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. asr-004161 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. asr-004162 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. asr-004163 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. asr-004164 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. asr-004165 03:04:27.220 --> 03:04:30.060 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Magparehistrado. Unang hakbang sa pagboto. asr-004166 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. asr-004167 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? asr-004168 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. asr-004169 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. asr-004170 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. asr-004171 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. asr-004172 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. asr-004173 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. asr-004173-split-2 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 asr-004174 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] asr-004174-split-2 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. asr-004174-split-3 03:08:25.010 --> 03:08:28.720 Rep. Edgar R. Erice: Thank you, Mr. Chair. asr-004175 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. asr-004176 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. asr-004177 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. asr-004178 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, asr-004179 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, asr-004180 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 asr-004181 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. asr-004181-split-2 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. asr-004187 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. asr-004188 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. asr-004189 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. asr-004190 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, asr-004191 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, asr-004192 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. asr-004193 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, asr-004194 03:15:57.360 --> 03:16:03.420 Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: act, or is it something else? asr-004195 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, asr-004196 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, asr-004197 03:16:22.580 --> 03:16:24.360 Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: kasi gusto natin orderly and peaceful. asr-004198 03:16:24.900 --> 03:16:27.240 Rep. Ziaur-Rahman "Zia" Alonto Adiong: So yun lang po ang ating gustong magkaroon. asr-004199 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. asr-004200 03:16:35.040 --> 03:16:36.400 Rep.

Suansing: So I just have a few comments. asr-005270 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. asr-005271 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. asr-005272 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. asr-005273 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. asr-005274 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. asr-005275 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. asr-005276 04:34:01.680 --> 04:34:06.640 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Because several members have manifested support for the inclusion of such. asr-005277 04:34:07.020 --> 04:34:13.780 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: special provision during the deliberation of the Budget asr-005278 04:34:13.780 --> 04:34:14.360 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Amendments Review Subcommittee. So just asr-005279 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, asr-005280 04:34:16.500 --> 04:34:19.400 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: may I recognize from the Department of Budget asr-005281 04:34:19.520 --> 04:34:21.500 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: and Management Director Elena Regina Brillantes asr-005282 04:34:21.500 --> 04:34:31.060 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: if you could please enlighten us asr-005283 04:34:31.280 --> 04:34:34.080 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: Perhaps one thing I wanted to check on, Director, asr-005284 04:34:34.080 --> 04:34:36.100 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: because we're putting in a 2027— asr-005285 04:34:36.520 --> 04:34:37.720 Rep. Mikaela Angela B. Suansing: we're putting in a special asr-005286 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. asr-005287 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. asr-005288 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. asr-005289 04:35:10.560 --> 04:35:13.580 DBM Director Elena Regina S. Brillantes: Thank you, Chair. Good evening to all of you. asr-005290 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, asr-005291 04:35:24.680 --> 04:35:30.060 DBM Director Elena Regina S. Brillantes: which means that in all the budget that they received, asr-005292 04:35:31.220 --> 04:35:31.320 DBM Director Elena Regina S. Brillantes: and as asr-005294 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, asr-005295 04:35:40.400 --> 04:35:44.360 DBM Director Elena Regina S. Brillantes: other funds are valid until fully spent. asr-005296 04:35:45.120 --> 04:35:49.820 DBM Director Elena Regina S. Brillantes: But having said that, we pose no objection, Madam Chair, asr-005297 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, asr-005298 04:35:57.680 --> 04:36:01.320 DBM Director Elena Regina S. Brillantes: just so I believe, as Chair, asr-005299 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, asr-005300 04:36:09.840 --> 04:36:15.340 DBM Director Elena Regina S. Brillantes: they would like to state in their budget, asr-005301 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. asr-005302 04:36:26.240 --> 04:36:27.140 DBM Director Elena Regina S.

Hernandez: What is the position of Comelec regarding the proposed asr-005389 04:42:09.920 --> 04:42:14.640 Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: and being presented in the plenary right now, asr-005390 04:42:14.640 --> 04:42:19.000 Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: the fixing of the term of Barangay election asr-005391 04:42:19.000 --> 04:42:20.840 Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: and of course, the S-K election? asr-005392 04:42:21.780 --> 04:42:23.500 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Maraming salamat po, Madam Chair, asr-005393 04:42:23.500 --> 04:42:27.260 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: at your honors, our SDS. asr-005394 04:42:27.260 --> 04:42:28.980 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: As far as the Comelec is concerned, asr-005395 04:42:28.980 --> 04:42:30.600 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: again, we would like to reiterate, asr-005396 04:42:30.600 --> 04:42:31.420 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: it is an absolute, absolutely, absolute, absolute, absolute, asr-005397 04:42:31.440 --> 04:42:32.200 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: absolute authority of Congress, asr-005398 04:42:32.200 --> 04:42:36.520 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: the sole authority of Congress to fix the term asr-005399 04:42:36.520 --> 04:42:38.760 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: of Barangay and S-K officials. asr-005400 04:42:38.760 --> 04:42:40.840 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Which means to say, according to the Supreme Court, asr-005401 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. asr-005402 04:42:45.060 --> 04:42:47.180 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And that's the reason why in 2025, asr-005403 04:42:47.180 --> 04:42:50.700 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: during the time that the Congress was debating asr-005404 04:42:50.700 --> 04:42:54.160 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: and had passed a term fixing legislation, asr-005405 04:42:54.160 --> 04:42:56.560 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: it was never restrained by the Supreme Court. asr-005406 04:42:56.560 --> 04:42:59.600 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: It was even affirmed by the honorable Supreme Court. asr-005407 04:42:59.600 --> 04:42:59.920 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: And so, if that is the case, go ahead. asr-005408 04:42:59.920 --> 04:43:00.640 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: I'd like to be the speaker. asr-005409 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. asr-005410 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. asr-005411 04:43:17.700 --> 04:43:22.240 Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Were you invited in the deliberation in the Senate? asr-005412 04:43:23.320 --> 04:43:24.360 COMELEC Chairperson George Erwin M. Garcia: Yes, Mr. Chair. asr-005413 04:43:24.740 --> 04:43:25.940 Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: You gave the same position. asr-005414 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. asr-005415 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. asr-005416 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. asr-005417 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. asr-005418 04:43:58.820 --> 04:43:58.840 Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Is that right? asr-005419 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. asr-005420 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. asr-005421 04:44:28.840 --> 04:44:34.120 Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: And probably it will take, maybe next week, no? asr-005422 04:44:34.280 --> 04:44:36.400 Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: Maybe it will be approved on third reading. asr-005423 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. asr-005424 04:44:50.040 --> 04:44:53.220 Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: There might be difference in the term, no? asr-005425 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. asr-005426 04:45:00.000 --> 04:45:01.960 Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: terms. Right now, it's three asr-005427 04:45:01.960 --> 04:45:03.520 Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: but however, I think asr-005428 04:45:03.520 --> 04:45:05.840 Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: somebody will propose an asr-005429 04:45:05.840 --> 04:45:07.260 Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L. Hernandez: amendment for two terms. asr-005430 04:45:08.640 --> 04:45:09.880 Senior Deputy Speaker Ferdinand L.
