00:00Naomi, one by one, the Senators analyzed the so-called Budget of the Commission on Elections for the fiscal year 2025.

00:09The Commission specifically detailed their contract with the Joint Venture Miro Systems Company Ltd.,

00:15which is the winning provider of automated counting machines in the 2025 elections.

00:19The Senators asked, especially Risa Hontiveros,

00:23if the machines are really just a prototype?

00:25Why didn't they use the warranty of the vote counting machines from Smartmatic,

00:30the former system provider of the Philippines, in the past elections?

00:33And most of all, where are the old machines used in the past elections?

00:39Comelec explained that the machines used in the elections went through a series of technical tests

00:44with the help of Citizens Arm, a partner of the Commission on Elections.

00:48The old machines of Smartmatic will no longer be used in the elections.

00:53Where are the Smartmatic VCMs now?

00:56Are they still stored in the Comelec warehouse in Santa Rosa?

01:00Are we absolutely sure that all of the 97,000 VCMs no longer work?

01:07And would it be possible to schedule an inspection?

01:10At the Santa Rosa warehouse, we brought twice the media for them to inspect the vote counting machines.

01:19All of them are still in the boxes.

01:22But the Comelec and NBank declared these machines as unusable in 2023.

01:28Another issue discussed by the Senators is not the separation of Sulu and BARMM,

01:33which the Supreme Court just recently decided.

01:36The question of the Senators is, will this affect the elections in BARMM?

01:40But Comelec said that the first parliamentary election in 2025 is still ongoing.

01:45Only the parliamentary seats are affected.

01:48Instead of 80 members of the parliament, it will only make 73 because Sulu was already removed from the list.

01:55Comelec also urged the Senate to return their budget of P49.7 billion, which was reduced to P14 billion.

02:05Senator Aimee Marcos, who is the chairperson of Pagdinig, emphasized that P12 billion was added to Comelec's budget in 2024

02:15when there was a bicameral conference last year.

02:19That's already P12 billion, right?

02:22That's why we have a problem in finding money for the elections because next year is the super election year.

02:29We are trying to find a way to pay the workers.

02:33There are dangers and the BARMM is nervous.

02:38You have money, P12 billion. That's what I'm trying to clarify.

02:42Nayomi, Comelec immediately replied that even though they haven't spent all of this fund,

02:48they already have plans for this at the end of 2024.

02:52That's why it will be revealed that they are still short of funds for 2025 to pay for overtime and for additional people to be used on the day of the election.

03:02Nayomi, even though there were many questions on Comelec, it is still in the Senate committee and it is expected to be included in a plenary session.

03:12That is the latest. Let's go back to you Nayomi.
