00:00Communic Chair George Garcia visited the United States Department of Justice

00:05to investigate the allegation that he has an offshore account.

00:09This is where the Umanoy-Suhol,

00:12the replacement of the contract for the machine that will be used in the election,

00:15is coming in.

00:20The Commission on Elections Chairman George Erwin Garcia

00:24is expected to visit the Justice Department of the United States

00:27to stop the allegations that he is using Umanoy-Suhol offshore bank accounts

00:35in exchange for the contract for the automated counting machines in the 2025 elections.

00:40Garcia said that he will investigate the U.S. DOJ

00:43for cases of possibility of identity theft and bank fraud.

00:48We will ask for help from them

00:51to investigate this because this is connected.

00:55If it's connected, they can investigate some things.

01:00As for identity theft and bank fraud,

01:03the U.S. is very strict in this matter.

01:05Even if you're in a part of the world,

01:07they will chase you if you have violated their system

01:11and made a way to show that this is true, even if it's not.

01:17Comelec used this initiative

01:19to the gift party's representative, Rodante Marco Leta,

01:23of the Umanoy-Garcia accounts in Cayman Islands.

01:27He wants to investigate the Jaleo Consulting LLC

01:30of the Umanoy, a volunteer from New York,

01:33who sent money to his so-called bank accounts.

01:36Who is this and where is this connected?

01:40Yes Jaleo Consulting.

01:41We want to know who is the owner of the two accounts mentioned.

01:46Maybe the two accounts exist or are just open

01:50or have been there for a long time under the name of another person.

01:52Then suddenly, I deposited $100

01:56and then my name was reflected

01:58that there's an after of Makati City, KY, Kentucky, USA.

02:03Then I released it.

02:05Since the two account numbers are mentioned,

02:08it's easy to see if it's true.

02:12I hope that through the help of USDO,

02:14USDOJ and other government agencies,

02:19and even here in our country,

02:20we will know who is the owner of those two accounts.

02:23It is expected that COMELEC will approach the Foreign Affairs Department

02:27for a formal conversation with the USDOJ.

02:31But now, they will give an indirect request

02:34for the investigation to begin,

02:36especially since they have connections with the USDOJ.

02:39During the investigation,

02:41to former COMELEC Chairman Andy Bautista

02:44under the leadership of the former FASTRAC system provider of the Philippines in 2016.

02:50Aside from the USDOJ,

02:51Garcia will submit to the National Bureau of Investigation

02:55the documents that prove Pamemeque's identity.

02:59We will repeat to the National Bureau of Investigation,

03:03all the events, all the documents that we discovered,

03:06all of Pamemeque's bank records were tampered.

03:09Whatever we spell out,

03:12here in our country,

03:13that is a criminal case.
