00:00Tomorrow, the Commission on Elections released a list of national and local candidates for the election of 2025.
00:17The Commission was disappointed because before the election period, the promotional materials of their chosen candidates were already out.
00:24Darlene Cai was chosen.
00:30There is no campaign period yet, but wherever you look, the faces and names of the aspirants or candidates for the upcoming election are spreading.
00:38The Commission on Elections is not happy about that.
00:42The Comelec is saddened. I would like to express that.
00:45Because we know that we will be affected by the law and the decision of the Supreme Court.
00:51It is very heavy for our situation and our citizens will be blamed because their faces are spreading.
00:58But the Comelec's hands are tied regarding this.
01:01They are not yet considered candidates, so the Comelec has no power to sue the aspirants or to remove any of their promotional materials.
01:10The official election period will start on January 12.
01:13Meanwhile, the campaign period of senatorial candidates and party list groups will start on February 11.
01:20They are only candidates on the first day of the campaign period.
01:23It means that everything they are doing now, there is still no election law that will govern them.
01:28There is still no prohibition, no violation.
01:30For now, the Comelec has to talk to those who want to run for the election.
01:35Slowly, slowly. You know, let's not underestimate the intelligence of our countrymen.
01:42The Comelec also mentioned how the government will prohibit the issuance of funds to projects related to public works and social services
01:5045 days before the election, in accordance with the Omnibus Election Code.
01:54But if they clarify...
01:56The Comelec is allowing those exemptions, which in our opinion is not a political issue,
02:02if it's not a project that is already in our budget and has been planned for a long time.
02:08The most difficult project is the one that is only thought of by the politician because he is running.
02:14It was said in a statement of Camarines Sur Rep. Elrey Villafuerte
02:18that residents living in places where calamities have occurred may be put in danger
02:23if some infrastructure projects are stopped, including roads and other infrastructure that was damaged by the previous typhoons.
02:31But according to the Omnibus Election Code,
02:33automatically exempted from emergency work due to calamities.
02:38The Comelec will not prohibit the issuance of funds, but there should be no politician in the distribution itself.
02:44The Comelec will not be a bulwark in providing assistance to our poor countrymen,
02:50in the study of poor people, in the scholarship,
02:52in the family benefits, in the food benefits, in the burial services.
02:59We will not stop them.
03:03It should be clear what we are asking for,
03:07an exemption on how this will be done,
03:11who will be the beneficiary, how much will be used,
03:14and the politician in the distribution should not be present.
03:18Tomorrow, the Comelec released the final list of candidates for the midterm elections.
03:23On Monday, January 6, the printing of balotas will start.
03:28For GMA Integrated News, Darlene Cai, for Tutok 24 Horas.
