00:00Erginesto Ferdinand P. Maceda, Jr., Executive Director, Tepistong E.L. Nas.

00:04In our area, we have Director Albert Rodriguez, Director John Rex,

00:10and for the duration of the speech, we would like to invite Chairman George Erwin M. Garcia.

00:15Thank you very much, Mr. Erginesto Ferdinand Maceda,

00:19to our Executive Director, Director John Rex, and Director Albert.

00:22Thank you all for your patience from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

00:29We have 17 candidates for the Senate, 15 party-list organizations,

00:34and political parties that you have witnessed this afternoon,

00:37who attended our Commitment Wall.

00:40And again, as I told you, just like our commitment,

00:44we will accept all of their Certificates of Candidacies,

00:47even though some of them came earlier without a certificate of candidacy.

00:53What they want is just the same, their name.

00:55We did not allow that.

00:57At the same time, some of them came earlier with just 3 copies of the Certificate of Candidacy,

01:05while there should be 5 to be filed here.

01:09The copies are not included.

01:11So, we did not allow them to enter immediately to complete their Certificate of Candidacy.

01:17So far, in my entire country, for your information,

01:21in the monitoring of our Operations Center, which is located in the main office of the public,

01:25there was not a single untoward incident that disturbed our filing of the Certificate of Candidacy.

01:31In Batanes, our Regional Director will inform us that they extended the registration for this day,

01:41and at the same time, the filing of the Certificates of Candidacy was done simultaneously.

01:46So, they did 2 activities on this day,

01:50instead of giving an additional day after the filing of the Certificate of Candidacy.

01:56So, based on our initial assessment,

01:59the first day of the filing of the Certificate of Candidacy was very successful.

02:04For those who did not witness everything earlier,

02:07there were also many supporters who filed their aspirants outside

02:16and they were able to maintain their confidence in filing the Certificate of Candidacy.

02:20There were also no headaches or problems with our supporters outside.

02:27So, again, we are very thankful, especially to the Philippine National Police,

02:32to our Bureau of Fire Protection,

02:35to all of us, to all of you,

02:37to the members of the Commission of Election, especially to our Law Department,

02:42and to Pamunuan Manila Hotel,

02:44because on this first day, we are showing that if we work together,

02:49we can do everything well, clean, and successful.

02:53I hope that the next 7 days will be the same.
