00:00 The Special Bids and Awards Committee of the Commission on Elections has not yet seen an issue

00:04 in its ongoing post-qualification evaluation of the joint venture of Miru Systems,

00:10 the South Korea-based company that is one bidder in the procurement of the machine to be used in the 2025 elections.

00:17 The Technical Working Group has not yet reported, they have not reported to SBAC,

00:22 but as of now, we have not seen any failure in the documents that they submitted.

00:29 So far, so good for now.

00:31 We are waiting for the end-to-end testing of the machine.

00:35 To clarify, the post-qualification evaluation process is still long.

00:40 This is the most important and important part of the bidding,

00:44 so it is possible for it to reach a month.

00:47 We will look at if they have negative slippages, if they have delays,

00:51 what is their performance if they have a negative performance rating.

00:54 The system demonstration, where Miru showed its technology,

01:01 is included in the evaluation, including the five automated counting machines with LED screens,

01:05 in accordance with the request of Comelec.

01:07 First, it is still paper-based, so it will still receive a cover.

01:11 Second, the feed, before it was less than 100 mm/s, now it is faster.

01:18 Another demonstration is the big LCD screen.

01:22 Chairman Garcia said that the Audit and Count is transparent.

01:25 Citizens Arm and Poll Watchdog, such as Lente, Namphrel and PPCRV,

01:32 were also present at the demo. They saw the systems, prototype machines and sample ballots.

01:37 I really challenge the machines.

01:39 I put over-voting, under-voting, and I put different kinds of marks.

01:46 The shaded balota was submitted last time, which was read by the machines.

01:51 We can do under-vote. Under-vote is still possible. It's an option.

01:54 We don't want to force the voter to make a selection if they don't want to.

01:58 Over-vote is not a possibility.

02:00 We eliminate that error factor.

02:04 The post-qualification evaluation is expected to be complete next month.

02:09 Even if Miru did not pass and there is a failure of bidding,

02:14 Comelec will be included in the negotiated procurement.

02:17 The Commission will directly discuss the companies.

02:21 Comelec assured that they will not be late in preparing for the 2025 election.
