00:28.9
yung mga yon goods SP
00:39.0
um the Commission hesitates
00:43.1
um and must refrain from giving comment
00:46.2
on What is sub judice given that there
00:48.8
is a petition filed by former
00:50.9
Congressman Egay erice with the Supreme
00:53.4
Court already doc and nevertheless Uh
00:57.6
they have volunteered that Uh in fact
01:01.0
they are present testing and they have
01:03.3
adopted a very rigid technical
01:05.5
evaluation mechanism in compliance with
01:08.4
the aas and Uh part of that testing
01:11.8
Actually occurred after the Uh Uh Senate
01:15.6
committee's Hearing um regarding the
01:18.6
same topic of a prototype as opposed to
01:26.8
system and have there been any Uh
01:31.2
reassuring findings emerging from the
01:36.9
prototype prototype lamang ba itong
01:39.3
system na ito has it been tested in
01:42.2
anywhere else in the Philippines or
01:43.8
anywhere else in the world in any other
01:48.2
sponsor Yes we were all very impressed
01:51.2
by the brand new machines Uh even though
01:54.7
we were told that while the machines
01:57.0
that were brought to the Senate were
01:58.7
brand new It was an old system that had
02:01.6
been used many times in Korea which is
02:05.5
the nationality of course of miru at
02:08.7
na-impress naman kami kasi lahat touch
02:10.8
screen ang bilis-bilis Parang ang ang
02:13.5
dali-dali bumoto kaya't Natuwa naman
02:16.6
kami kasi parang lalabas yung resulta
02:20.9
alin pong system yung nagamit na sa
02:24.1
Korea good sponsor
02:47.5
yes so we are combining um the touch
02:51.4
screen omr system that's used in South
02:55.2
Korea and the shading system the Dre
02:58.2
that we're familiar with here in the
03:00.2
philippines so we are hopeful that Uh we
03:03.6
Actually have double the security
03:06.8
provided so good sponsor Ah yung omr
03:10.5
system nagamit na nga sa Korea Yes
03:14.2
paulit-ulit na poos din yung shading na
03:17.0
Dre ng pilipinas yes ah na Nasubukan na
03:21.0
natin ang Dre dito sa Pilipinas Pero
03:23.8
yung kombinasyon ng omr at Dre nagamit
03:28.1
na rin po ba ito sa or nagamit na po ba
03:31.3
ito sa kahit alin pang ibang bansa good
03:39.0
sponsor Actually we're going to be
03:41.5
utilizing only one system at the time
03:44.6
locally in the Philippines will be using
03:46.6
the Dre which is a Familiar Sy I'm sorry
03:51.2
we're going to be using within the
03:53.0
Philippines the omr the touch screen
03:55.9
system locally here in the Philippines
03:59.1
which is the shading and Uh overseas 17
04:03.4
post in the 17 different posts that will
04:07.0
be allowing internet voting we not be
04:10.1
allowing We will not be using omr or the
04:15.0
internet voting Dre po sa overseas good
04:18.6
sponsor Yes that's correct so
04:22.8
ah Hindi ibig sabihin
04:26.7
kombinasyon yung yung system
04:30.5
omr at Dre pero yung omr lamang ang
04:34.0
gagamitin locally samantala yung Dre ang
04:38.7
overseas Yes Tama po yun kasi ang ah ang
04:42.8
ah pinag-usapan eh Dapat isang sistema
04:46.2
lang that's been well tested precisely
04:48.5
as you mentioned that it's not it should
04:51.8
not be a brand new untested system So
04:54.8
we're going to be using the long
04:57.7
standing system of the omr
05:00.2
and only overseas Where There is no
05:03.6
internet voting will the Dre Be
05:07.5
utilized So yung kombinasyon Kahit yung
05:11.9
kalahati lang ng system ay gagamitin
05:13.9
dito at yung isang kalahati ay gagamitin
05:16.4
overseas yyung kombinasyon ng omr at
05:20.5
Dre never before in the world used hindi
05:24.4
paghahalo yung omr at Dre naka-off yung
05:28.6
Dre dito sa p hindian gagamitin at solid
05:33.2
omr as us pero d sa ibang bansa yung Dre
05:37.7
naman ang gagamitin yung omr nakapatay
05:40.5
naman para isa lang na sistema hindi
05:43.1
yung halo-halo at Ah hindi yung sabihin
05:46.7
natin na bagong kombinasyon na hindi pa
05:48.7
nagagamit noon gayon pa man good sponsor
05:53.2
yung system as such yung subject ng JV
05:57.6
ay sistema na combined OM Mr at Dre
06:01.2
kahit na Parang sa switch May dalawang
06:03.8
switch dito sa session hall isang switch
06:06.6
lang ang bubuksan natin para sa isang
06:08.5
klaseng ilaw sa mga opisina natin yung
06:11.4
pangalawang switch ang gagamitin para sa
06:14.0
ibang klaseng ilaw pero yung sistema pa
06:17.0
rin ay kombinasyon ng dalawang klaseng
06:20.2
sistema omr at saka Dre good sponsor Uh
06:25.1
I think it would be more accurate to say
06:27.4
that they are not actually combined both
06:29.7
options are just available in the
06:32.0
machines individually each has been
06:34.9
tested kumbaga sa ilaw
06:37.4
eh regular electric supply Pero kapag
06:41.5
na- brown out Tsaka lang gagamitin yyung
06:45.0
genset so ' ba kung ganon good sponsor
06:48.4
Bakit hindi na lang omr machines ang
06:51.9
pinr cure or Il lease para dito sa
06:54.9
Pilipinas Dre machines para sa ibang
06:58.5
bansa Dahil kung sa iisang kaha May
07:02.3
dalawang para may dalawang sistema pero
07:29.8
O kasi ang nangyari na yung mga machines
07:32.8
both have all each of the machines have
07:36.4
both systems but they will not be turned
07:38.6
on jointly and combined in some
07:41.5
confusing or Sinister way instead ang
07:44.9
nangyari na pareho kasi ang presyo ng
07:48.0
Dre at omr sa totoo lang yung Dre
07:50.7
nagamit na rin sa magindanao nung 2008
07:53.6
mas advance sana yung Dre kasi maganda
07:55.8
nga yung touch screen kaso nga lang
07:58.4
abala yung comel sa dinami-dami ng ating
08:01.0
botante baka ah magbug down o mahirapan
08:05.6
kaya yung omr na pareho sana ang presyo
08:09.1
eh mas low tech yun na lang ang
08:11.9
gagamitin sa lokal pagka't napakarami ng
08:20.0
natin Mr President good sponsor Hindi pa
08:23.8
rin ako ma-settle na hindi talaga ito
08:26.1
kuto if I may explain further the Dre
08:30.8
ideal for overseas voting because it
08:34.0
would eliminate the
08:36.0
deployment of more personnel and the
08:38.7
printing cost for these 17 posts abroad
08:42.3
so the Dre was seen to be the more
08:44.8
practical option doon lang sa 17 post
08:48.6
Otherwise lahat ay babagsak sa omr para
08:52.4
makasigurado tayo so Sana pala good
08:56.2
sponsor nagle na lang tayo ng 7 Dre
09:00.3
machines at ah the rest kung ilang libo
09:03.5
ille natin na omr baka lumabas pang mas
09:07.7
mura kesa may karamihan tayo ng mga ah
09:11.8
combined omr d e machines na hindi naman
09:15.4
gagamitin ah dito sa local precincts
09:19.8
natin Syempre kung bumili tayo ng ref
09:22.8
mas mura ion kesa bumili tayo ng ref
09:25.8
combined with freezer Uh good sponsor to
09:28.6
use a very low te Uh parallel or example
09:34.6
Uh question never arose because all the
09:38.5
machines contained both Dr e and omr
09:42.8
there was no additional cost for having
09:45.0
two options parang dual sim sa ating
09:47.7
cellphone pag bumili ka ng cellphone
09:49.8
ngayon Talagang dual sim kahit gagamitin
09:52.3
mo iisang sim card
09:54.3
lang well now how how can we know na
09:57.8
good sponsor na hindi naging mas mas
09:59.6
mura kung mas maraming omr ang Il lease
10:03.1
then 17 ang Dre na Il lease in fact ah I
10:07.6
don't think it's been adequately
10:09.0
explained Why This contract is so
10:11.4
expensive considering po ille lang po
10:14.2
natin iyung mga makina h naman natin
10:16.4
sila bibilihin outright at yung least ay
10:19.2
para sa isang election cycle lamang good
10:22.8
sponsor Uh if truth be told the prices
10:26.2
have been brought down the individual
10:28.8
machine costing 14 49,000 at ah kung ah
10:34.4
tutuusin nakatipid ang ah Comelec ng
10:38.9
malaking halaga ang halaga ng 800
10:41.9
million malaking tipid to kahit dalawa
10:45.0
ang option ng Dre at
10:47.2
omr gayun pa man good sponsor ah sa
10:51.0
iisang eleksyon lamang leas lamang ito
10:54.4
18 19 bilon ang gagastusin natin kumpara
10:58.0
sa ano ba yun yung kombinasyon ng lahat
11:00.7
ng mga election in the past 1 and a half
11:03.2
decades around 21 or 22 billiones so
11:08.4
proportionately talagang ang laki nito
11:11.4
ah at yung mga iyon ay mga biniling ah
11:15.5
mga makina and yet proportionately
11:18.8
Palagay ko kailangan Tignan ng ah
11:21.1
isa-isa at himayin yung kontrata kasi
11:24.4
naka-bun po pati yung printing ng balota
11:27.5
naka-bun siya sa makina
11:30.1
nak bot lahatan dinala sa senado
11:33.9
pinakita nila at iisang kontrata Kaya
11:36.7
nga mukhang malaking malaki pero
11:38.8
napakaraming sangkap
11:45.3
niyan Just for ano
11:48.3
ah kung pwedeng i- indulge ako ng good
11:52.3
sponsor Just in case sa halip na L
11:55.7
Magkano kung ibinili natin iyon Mr
12:02.5
pag binili 155,000 ang binayaran natin
12:06.6
nasa 15 billion so malaking tinipid isa
12:10.9
ikalawa nagbabago kasi ang teknolohiya
12:13.8
Kaya nakita natin sa experience natin sa
12:16.4
smartmatic kada elecon nalalaos
12:19.0
nabubulok yung dating makina kaya hindi
12:21.9
magandang bibili mas maganda yung
12:24.0
naa-update at ah nagde-deliver ng bago
12:27.8
yung supplier so mahal talaga itong mga
12:30.4
makina good sponsor kasi kung ka kung sa
12:33.8
halip ay binili natin magkakahalaga 15
12:39.3
or Uh a little less than 60% Nung
12:44.2
kabuoang 22 billion na ginastos natin sa
12:47.3
pagbili rin sa nakaraang Isa't
12:49.4
kalahating Dekada so more or less 60% ah
12:53.6
for one election uh what we had spent
12:56.5
for the past 1 and 1/2 decades of
12:59.2
elections here in the philippines so
13:00.6
mahal talaga yung makina nililis man
13:03.3
natin ngayon or kung sakaling ah ibinili
13:06.4
natin yun ang atin dating pagiisip ano
13:09.9
na Bakit uupa samantalang pwede ng
13:12.7
bilhin atin na yon hindi na problema
13:15.3
pero nakita natin sa ating karanasan sa
13:17.4
Smart matic at sa mga dating makina
13:19.7
meron pang warehousing meron pang ref
13:22.7
repair and refurbishment pagkatapos ang
13:25.5
bilis mabulok e dahil Ah alam naman
13:28.0
natin kada tatlong taon napabago na
13:30.6
naman ng teknolohiya nagbago na sa anim
13:32.9
na buwan so Bulok na talaga at hindi na
13:35.7
magamit yung mga nabili natin kaya ang
13:39.6
pakiwari ng ating comission imbes na
13:42.2
bibili eh mupa na lang tapos wala ka
13:45.1
pang gastos sa warehousing sa bodega sa
13:48.4
refurbishing sa repair sa tao tapos
13:52.0
updated pa yung teknolohiya ninyo hindi
13:54.3
kayo na-stock up doun sa
13:57.0
luma Ayun good sponsor Uh speaking of
14:00.7
one of the points you mentioned the
14:03.9
during the Comelec budget briefing we
14:06.6
requested documents related to the
14:09.0
current status and alleged unserviceable
14:11.3
of the vote counting machines used in
14:14.1
the previous elections na provide na po
14:16.5
ba ng COMELEC ang comite Anong mga
14:18.9
dokumentong iyon yes I think All That
14:22.7
was provided and Uh a report was Uh
14:27.6
Actually Uh given as well regarding the
14:30.8
old vcms that are still under
14:33.8
warranty so under warranty pa pala sila
14:36.4
good sponsor Bakit hindi natin in-
14:38.6
exhaust yung warranty ah pinrepare o
14:42.0
refurbish ang mga ito posibleng alin
14:45.3
sunod din sa mga kaa guidelines na
14:47.5
itinanong ko rin nung nakaraang budget
14:49.9
hearing tungkol sa paano talagang
14:52.2
idispose of yung mga previously procured
14:55.2
government equipment good sponsor
14:59.6
um as a matter of fact the allegation
15:01.9
that they were still under warranty was
15:04.0
Uh wrong um firstly the warranty was a
15:08.1
very limited warranty to parts and
15:10.5
service only Uh for three subsequent
15:13.6
elections Uh nag-expire na yyung waranty
15:16.7
in effect 2024 samantalang eleksyon
15:20.6
2025 So yun ang problema at ah dineklara
15:25.6
ng unserviceable yung ah ating mga vcm
15:30.2
kaya't ah sinabi na ng komisyon sa
15:33.1
kanilang Ah isa pang minute resolution
15:36.6
na yung mga machines have already fully
15:40.1
reached their economic useful life and
15:42.1
are thus unserviceable
15:46.1
perhaps finally good sponsor the
15:49.6
electorate might not be familiar with
15:51.9
the way these new machines operate
15:54.5
nakapag allocate na ba tayo ng sapat na
15:56.7
pondo para sa voter education
16:03.4
yes I think a nationwide and
16:06.4
comprehensive Road show is going to be
16:08.5
conducted by the Comelec for voters
16:11.2
Education Beginning in a few days Uh
16:14.6
December 2 until January 30 to make
16:18.2
certain that Uh voters are familiar with
16:24.2
system and may may sapat na pondo pa na
16:28.0
para sa road show na good sponsor
16:30.8
naka-get naman po
