00:00Some residents of Buhangin, Davao City, were surprised to see a house that was loaded with items that seemed to be for the election of 2025.
00:19Comelec confirmed that these were indeed election paraphernalia and explained why it was temporarily placed on a private property.
00:29Arjel Relator of GMA Regional TV reports.
00:36A concerned citizen sent these images to GMA Regional TV 1 Mindanao.
00:42Black boxes with the logo of the Commission on Elections inside a house in Santo Streets, Purok, Santo Nino, Dumanlas, Barangay Buhangin, Davao City.
00:53They were puzzled as to why it was placed on a private property.
00:57When the news team went to the area, there were boxes that were just covered with tarpaulin.
01:02The owner of the house did not show up.
01:05According to a resident of the area, they saw that the boxes were unloaded on Saturday night, March 29, and finished early on Sunday, March 30.
01:16The items were unloaded, like these boxes.
01:20It was not sealed.
01:22But it was just an ordinary person who did the job.
01:25There were no policemen, no police.
01:28It was like a 10-killer, like a wingman.
01:31I saw that they unloaded just one box at a time.
01:34So it was a wingman?
01:35Yes, it was a wingman.
01:37It was on April 4 when it was reported to the Davao City Police.
01:41According to the son of the winner of the bidder,
01:44they requested assistance from the person or group they did not mention
01:49to put the boxes in their compound.
01:52It was being verified by the police.
01:54There were no witnesses in the barangay.
01:57Our story, through video call,
02:01is that one of the winners of the bidder,
02:05who won the election for the penalty,
02:10went to A1 Logistics.
02:14He went to Manila, Laguna.
02:17He was caught by tracking.
02:19He was caught because we, in the barangay,
02:22did not report anything.
02:24FND, PNP.
02:26According to Davao City Mayor Sebastian Bastet-Duterte,
02:38Comelec needs to answer
02:40why the election paraphernalia is in one house.
02:44They have to justify.
02:45They have to show why they did it.
02:51That's what's important.
02:53What could be their purpose?
02:55Why did they do it?
02:56Their answer should be acceptable to the public,
03:04to those who are asking.
03:05Comelec Central Office confirmed
03:08when they released the statement
03:10that Comelec paraphernalia
03:12were the winners of the ballot
03:13in one house in Davao City.
03:15These are Starlink equipment
03:17and solar panels
03:18that will be used to transmit
03:20election returns and certificates of canvas.
03:23They will not be affected
03:25by counting or reading balota.
03:28A temporary staging hub was built
03:30by their official service provider
03:32I-1 Resources Joint Venture
03:34or I-1JV with Ardent Networks Inc.
03:37in one house
03:39before the final delivery
03:41to the election officers in Davao Region.
03:44They do not see any irregularities
03:46in the placement of election paraphernalia
03:48in the so-called house.
03:50On Sunday morning,
03:52the so-called election paraphernalia
03:54were delivered to the wing van trucks.
03:56Comelec Davao del Norte was the first to be located.
03:59On Monday morning,
04:00the trucks returned to Davao City
04:02to unload the 37 Starlink kits
04:05and 37 solar panels
04:07for Davao City
04:09that were placed in Davao City Police Office.
04:12They contacted me
04:13asking if they could place them here
04:15for security reasons.
04:16So I said yes.
04:17This is a government facility.
04:18Why not?
