00:00 The Commission on Elections also laid down the voting privileges for senior citizens and other members of the vulnerable sector in the country.
00:09 A group also proposed the Vote From Home system for senior citizens.
00:15 This is what Mela Lesmora wrote.
00:17 The Commission on Elections made the voting system easier and more flexible for senior citizens, persons with disabilities,
00:27 and other members of the vulnerable sector for the barangay and the youth elections on Monday.
00:32 According to COMELEC Chair George Erwin Garcia,
00:35 the existence of priority lanes, accessible polling places, and early voting hours from 5am to 7am in some places is one of their voting privileges.
00:47 At a press conference, National Commission of Senior Citizens Chair Franklin Quijano thanked COMELEC for the privileges for senior citizens.
00:57 But he hopes this will be expanded.
01:00 One of them is if there is an absentee voting in OFW abroad, right?
01:07 They can vote, just national officials, not local.
01:12 But then imagine a scenario where we are all digitized and the senior citizen can already vote from home for some other reasons,
01:22 like they can't walk, etc.
01:24 Maybe our efficiency will improve some more.
01:27 In the separate interview with Bagong Pilipinas Ngayon,
01:31 Quijano emphasized the implementation of electronic voting for senior citizens.
01:37 The House Committee on Senior Citizens Chair Rodolfo Ordonez also advises the existence of senior citizens as an addition to the barangay and youth elections
01:48 to better meet the needs of their sector.
01:52 Other members of the vulnerable sector from the camera have no other request but a clean and safe election on Monday.
02:01 To our teachers who will serve as election board in the upcoming elections,
02:08 I am begging you because you have made the work of holding the elections on Monday.
02:19 Keep up your good work.
02:21 I hope we can maintain a clean election and serve with integrity.
02:28 In the election of new leaders of the people on Monday,
02:32 authorities will remind them to choose who is the most deserving for the future of the Philippines.
02:40 Melales Moras for the nation.
