00:00Haasig City candidate for a lower house seat, Ian Sia, says his controversial remarks on single mothers was not intended to discriminate against them.
00:09But the single mothers who either saw or heard him feel otherwise and feel slighted by his rather grossly insensitive, even misogynistic remarks.
00:18Now the poll body's task force, SAFE, has filed a pleading seeking to nullify his candidacy, as our Rod Lagosad sums up the details in this report.
00:27The Commission on Elections, through its task force on safeguarding against fear and exclusion in elections, or task force SAFE, has filed a petition to disqualify PASIC congressional candidate Ian Sia.
00:39This follows Sia's controversial remarks, including those involving single mothers.
00:43According to the poll body, this is the first time the Comlec has filed a disqualification case on the grounds of a discriminatory remark.
00:49Task force SAFE head Sonia Bea Wilosad explained that this is motoproprio petition, meaning the task force initiated its own investigation without waiting for a formal complaint.
00:58In case the petition has remained undecided or unresolved, by the time election goes in, because we are less than a month away,
01:08we also requested for the suspension of his proclamation, if ever he wins.
01:15Both the SHOCOS orders and both answers are considered in this petition.
01:20There are still pending SHOCOS orders and more may follow, but for now she said that the commission is awaiting and reviewing the responses.
01:27According to Comlec Spokesperson Attorney Jan Rex Laudjanko, the case will be raffled to a division who will issue summons or directive to SIA to formally answer the disqualification petition.
01:36Ang nakita po ng task force may nakitang paglabag, hindi lamang doon sa resolution 11.1.16, pati na rin doon sa 11.127, kundi mismo doon sa batas, yung sinasight po nila kanina, section 261E ng Omnibus Election Code.
01:50Specifically, yung pong batas na yan, yung provision na yan, nagsasabing pinagbabawal yung mga threats, intimidation at discrimination dito po sa kampanya.
01:58If the decision does not favor the candidate, it may be elevated to the Supreme Court.
02:11In such case, the Comlec must receive a temporary restraining order within five days.
02:16Otherwise, the disqualification will take effect and all votes cast for the candidate will be considered as three votes.
02:22Should the candidate still receive the highest number of votes, Comlec may suspend his proclamation.
02:26Meanwhile, a separate complaint for the election offense has also been filed before the Comlec Law Department, which will conduct a preliminary investigation to determine probable cause.
02:34If the commission and bank concurs with the findings, a criminal case will be filed directly with the regional trial court.
02:40And as Holloway approaches, it reminded the public that campaigning is strictly prohibited on Monday, Thursday, and Good Friday.
02:45Huwag nating lahukan at samahan po ng pangangampanya.
02:49Yan po ay nasa batas.
02:50Hindi lamang po customs yan, hindi lang traditions.
02:53Batas po, taplong batas.
02:55Omnibus election code, yung synchronized national and local elections, pati na rin ang fair election sack.
03:00Lahat ng uri po ng pangangampanya kung titignan po natin yung definition ng campaigning or partisan political activity sa omnibus election code.
03:07At sa fair election sack, lahat po ng pagpapakilala.
03:10So it encompasses kahit yung postings po sa social media.
03:14Meanwhile, as per ongoing overseas online voting,
03:16the Komalik assures that the encryption seen after casting a vote is a machine-readable
03:20and served as a confirmation that a vote has been counted and is now a permanent record.
03:25Rod Lagosad, from the National TV Network, for a new and better Philippines.
