00:00 It is expected that the hearing on the cases related to vote buying will be easier as the barangay and SK elections are approaching.
00:09 After the agreement, the Comelec and Public Attorney's Office will be there to complain.
00:16 Here is the story of Louisa Erispe.
00:18 There is no need to be afraid or to have second thoughts.
00:24 Anyone who will complain about candidates involved in vote buying is a partner of the Public Attorney's Office and the Commission on Elections
00:34 so that the services of the lawyer will be free for those who will complain to Comelec.
00:39 Because of this, the hearing on the cases related to vote buying will be easier and there will be no one to back up those who will complain.
00:47 Those who bought or paid for the affidavit will be helped in the process of affidavit.
00:58 If someone is caught, the Public Attorney's Office will be alerted to help if there is a need to file a complaint or to do an inquest.
01:07 There are many cases here.
01:09 The Public Attorney's Office is open on the 30th of October.
01:16 Duty lawyers will be there to answer questions.
01:18 The Public Attorney's Office will be there at 6pm to vote and staff.
01:24 Or we will have a day off. We will divide the time so that there will be people in our office.
01:30 This is a multi-agency, whole of nation approach.
01:34 We will be with the Central Bank of the Philippines and the Anti-Money Laundering Council
01:40 to send people to the new Gcash, Paymay, and others.
01:44 From 23, there are 40 cases of vote buying studied by the ContraBigay Committee.
01:53 Comelec is aware that vote buying is an election offense and criminal case.
01:58 Aside from disqualification, it will be difficult for the candidate to run in the next elections.
02:04 Meanwhile, Comelec and PAO signed another MOA today together with the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology
02:12 for the voting of more than 50,000 PDLs in the whole country in the barangay and SK elections.
02:19 They will be brought to the respective voting precincts in the respective barangay.
02:25 We will give the whole process to the local government guards.
02:29 They will be accompanied.
02:31 Inside the precinct of our precinct, there are guards there along with school teachers and representatives coming from Comelec.
02:42 Comelec said that there are six PDL candidates. Two of them are barangay chairmen.
02:48 They will not be given a chance to leave the precinct and campaign.
02:53 But they will be allowed to campaign inside the precinct.
02:57 In the issue of former Comelec chairman Andres Bautista, who accepted bribe money for a procurement of Comelec,
03:05 in 2016, Comelec formed a task force to investigate the incident, especially the bidding and procurement process.
03:13 We immediately created a task force, a chairman's task force to investigate whatever had happened in the year that was discussed and said.
03:23 Whatever the excuse, we will ensure an honest, a very orderly, a transparent, and accountable and inclusive procurement of our new systems and machines.
03:37 and machines.
03:38 Luisa Erispe, for the nation.
