00:00The Commission on Elections officials prioritized the inspection and verification of the printed balotas that will be used in the election of 2025.
00:14Let's follow Sandra Aguinaldo's on-the-spot report.
00:18Sandra.
00:22Rafi, Comelec showed the extension of their verification area here in the Amoranto Sports Complex.
00:30According to Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia, 27 million balotas are being printed but only 3 to 4 million balotas are verified.
00:42This means that even if the printing is fast, the speed of verification is not the same.
00:48Manual and machine verification is done.
00:51The balota is tested manually by a verifier and then it is passed to the machine several times.
00:58Sometimes, it is passed to the machine but not to the eyes of the verifier.
01:04Even if it is a piece of dirt or a smudge of ink on the balota, it is not passed to the manual verification.
01:11Comelec added more than 200 verifiers and they are the ones in Amoranto.
01:17There are also verifiers in the National Printing Office and they are there day and night shift.
01:23Comelec said that they can still reach their April 14 deadline.
01:27Rafi, regarding the syndicates that are allocating sure wins to politicians who are willing to pay millions,
01:35Comelec said that they are already negotiating with the NBI regarding this.
01:40There is also a former Comelec employee who has not been in Comelec for 17 years and is being investigated now.
01:48As of now, Rafi, here in Amoranto, as you can see behind me, the verification is ongoing.
01:53This is just a day shift but Comelec plans to have a night shift and their target is the same here in Amoranto
02:01or in the NPO to have a total of 2 million balotas verified every day.
02:07That is the last question from here in Amoranto. Rafi?
02:10Thank you very much, Sandra Aguinaldo.
