00:00 Aside from the gun, the other is smuggling. The Common League plans to ban the barangay and to postpone the election

00:05 by bringing money that exceeds half a million pesos.

00:09 We don't know what the former members of Makati City should do

00:14 when they are now under the influence of the Taguig.

00:16 In our interview with Common League Chairman George Garcia. Good morning Chairman.

00:21 Good morning Egan. Good morning to our fellow countrymen.

00:25 I will start with this issue of 10 MBO barangays that are now under Taguig.

00:31 What are their preparations? Do they need to file a new voter for the election?

00:37 Egan, our countrymen no longer need to register for the 10 MBO barangays in Makati, which is now Taguig.

00:46 Automatically, we will transfer the database of the list of voters, their voter registration records from Makati to Taguig.

00:55 We are doing that ongoing. Before the weekend ends, we will complete the formal transfer of our voter registration to the 10 barangays.

01:06 How many voters are we talking about Chairman?

01:09 Egan, 228,000 are the regular voters in the barangay and almost 62,000 for our SK.

01:20 So more or less 300,000 voters are the ones we're talking about.

01:24 How about those who will run for the barangay and SK elections? Should they change or do something?

01:30 There's nothing to worry about Egan. Automatically, they are voters there, they are registered voters there, they are residents.

01:39 Therefore, they will file a candidacy. The filing of the candidacy will be done on August 28 to September 2 in Taguig Convention Center.

01:49 Are we on schedule because the printing of balota has been stopped? We had power outage?

01:56 No. Egan, we have completed printing the 92 million. The other day, we added 1.8 million balota because Egan, those who became cities from Baliwag,

02:09 Bulacan, Kalaka, and Carmona, and the two provinces of Maguindanao, which was Maguindanao before, now it's North and South.

02:18 It also includes almost 300,000 balota for the 10 Embo barangays of Taguig.

02:25 So we're 100 percent ready Chairman?

02:29 We're almost 100 percent. Yesterday, we had a command conference with AFP and PNP.

02:34 The next thing we're left with is the training of our electoral board members who will serve in each precinct.

02:42 If this money ban, the one that brought more than half a million, is now prohibited, how can we monitor this?

02:49 Egan, that's just one of the things that the commissioners are considering. Now, we will talk about all of that,

02:55 including the other things that we will presume to be engaged in vote buying. For example, if you brought indelible ink one day before the election,

03:03 we will presume that you're engaged in vote buying. If you're a candidate in front of your house or in your headquarters,

03:11 we will presume that you're engaged in vote buying. If you sent 20 people money five days before the election through GCash, Paymay,

03:19 and other means, we will presume that you're engaged in vote buying. That's another thing.

03:24 If you're in a checkpoint and you see that someone brought half a million or more, and you cannot justify what the reason is,

03:33 we will presume that you're engaged in vote buying. We need to do this Egan, even if they have questions,

03:41 because our countrymen are doing it to get votes.

03:46 Are there places that you will declare that you will increase security?

03:51 Yesterday, the PNP handed us a list of 27 areas that they are saying are areas of concern. We are waiting for the complete list of those 27 areas.

04:02 Therefore, if that's the case, those are the areas that we will increase our forces.

04:07 I will just follow this Chairman. The vacant position of Congressman Arnold Potebes Jr., how about his district?

04:13 We are waiting for a letter from the House of Representatives to, number one, declare the position vacant.

04:19 Number two, we are waiting for the special election of the Congress. If that's the case, we cannot pursue the barangay and SK elections,

04:27 and if there's a special election, it might be after the barangay and SK elections.

04:33 Thank you very much Comrade Chairman George Garcia. Be careful.

04:36 You too. Thank you very much.

04:40 Igan, you are the first in the news. Subscribe to GMA Integrated News on YouTube.
