00:00Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia claims that their job is clean,
00:06despite the issue with their contract with Mirosystems Company Ltd.
00:11for the 2025 Automated Elections.
00:14Louisa Erizpe is back.
00:19What are they, crazy?
00:20It's like we're saying that I'm honest with Selena.
00:25That's true.
00:25That's why, for me, they're going down to the level of saying that they'll resign and leave.
00:32They're crazy.
00:34This is how high Chairman George Erwin Garcia's answer was.
00:37Those who are now calling on social media to resign from his position.
00:44Because of the allegations,
00:45Mirosystems Company Ltd. filed a suit for their contract with 2025 Automated Elections
00:52for his unmanaged bank accounts.
00:54Garcia said that they'll claim that the whole commission is clean,
00:59especially that 4 out of 6 local banks claim that their accounts are peke or non-existent,
01:06such as Land Bank, Metro Bank, Union Bank, and BPI.
01:10Garcia is not alone because the whole commission is behind him.
01:15I hope to see the hardship of the whole commission.
01:20It hurts us because
01:26this has been our family.
01:29We are an attacking family.
01:31Do not go down to the gutter.
01:36Do not cross the borders.
01:39Do not crucify us in the court of public opinion.
01:45Crucify us in the courts.
01:49Crucify us in the courts of law.
01:52We are united.
01:55So we will see to it that those persons
02:00who are doing this malicious attack against our institution
02:05will be punished.
02:07Even Mirosystems Company Ltd. released a statement
02:11and denied the allegations of the Comelec.
02:14Mirosystems Company Ltd. said that the whole commission is just a professional.
02:19But the Comelec will not sit idly by.
02:22Garcia is also investigating the NBI issue.
02:25He is just waiting for the results
02:27so that he can file a case against the spreaders of misinformation
02:32and possibly against the person who submitted the document,
02:36former Congressman Edgar Erice.
02:39I am still weighing a lot.
02:42If there is an investigation of the NBI,
02:44will I be the leader or whatever?
02:46The investigations might be pre-empted
02:49because instead of pinpointing the truth
02:52and the people behind it,
02:54we might be able to focus on one person only.
02:58What is needed is not to save the others.
03:00When Garcia was asked
03:02if they think Smartmatics is one of the possible people behind this,
03:06Comelec just said
03:08I am the head of the National Bureau of Investigation.
03:11At this point,
03:12let's presume that everybody is innocent.
03:15Whatever the result of the NBI investigation,
03:18we will inform the public immediately
03:21because this is a threat to the integrity of our election.
03:27Erice might have a chance
03:29in Garcia's plan
03:31to file a case against him.
03:33The former congressman said
03:35he will confront Chairman Garcia
03:37but he explained
03:38that he just took the role of Garcia in good faith.
03:42I'm ready to face anything, anyone, anywhere.
03:46I'm willing to confront Chairman Garcia in any forum,
03:51whether in the courts.
03:53I was sent to him to convince him.
03:56I didn't say that he is the Comelec official.
04:00I said, being the chairman of the Comelec.
04:03Now, the account numbers he gave to Garcia are coming out.
04:07Erice changed her mind
04:09and she wants the Congress to be the one to meddle in the issue.
04:13We will pass our certifications to the Congress
04:17so we can see who is telling the truth.
04:19But what's important here is the election in 2025.
04:22If we want our election to be good,
04:24the Congress should act.
04:26Garcia also asked for certifications
04:28from several banks outside the country
04:31to prove that his foreign bank accounts are fake.
