00:00 A bidder for the 2025 midterm election was appointed by Miru Systems, which follows the international standards of their electoral system.

00:10 This is followed by a group of experts on the performance of Miru in their elections abroad.

00:17 Mark Salazar is a witness.

00:22 It's been more than a year since the election, and it's already 2025. That's why Comelec is now considering the system they will use for automated elections.

00:31 But only one bidder submitted to Comelec.

00:35 It's a joint venture led by the South Korean firm Miru Systems.

00:40 Based on their website, Miru Systems was established in 1999.

00:45 It also states that their technology was used for automated elections in South Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Ecuador, Iraq, and Congo.

00:55 But some observers, like the Democracy Watch group, question the fact that they read an article

01:03 that showed the performance of Miru Systems in their election abroad.

01:08 The news reports we read are not good, where more than 30% of the people said that their machines broke down or had a problem,

01:20 which led to these countries having manual elections or a new election for them.

01:28 What are the sources of news reports from other countries where their machines broke down in Iraq and Congo?

01:40 Comelec cannot be a dead man.

01:43 If we need to get official records, we will ask our Republic of Congo.

01:50 They showed us that one of the contracts is in Argentina and one is in Iraq.

01:55 We said that if we need to get official records, we will do it.

02:02 In a statement, Miru Systems said that the allegation of failure of elections due to Miru's technology is not true.

02:10 They say their electoral systems follow international standards.

02:15 They say that their technology has been used by Congo and Iraq since 2018.

02:21 They were given a certificate of satisfaction by Congo even though the United Nations itself said that the elections in Iraq were fair and successful.

02:32 The Prime Minister of Iraq also praised the success of their election last year.

02:39 Miru also praised their track record since the 2005 election in their own country, South Korea.

02:48 This is also what Integrated Computer Systems, which joined Miru for the election in 2025, is saying.

02:57 They have some track record. They've been around for almost 20 years and they have handled some of these similar projects abroad.

03:07 Of course, from our end, what we know is from what we read and also from what we heard from them.

03:18 We also did a bit of background checking because it's a publicly listed company.

03:25 Comilec assures that they will take care of everything because in the end, the Commission will still ensure the integrity of the election.

03:33 But Comilec needs to take action immediately because the award of the contract, production, field testing and certification should be completed by this year.

03:43 Almost a perfect machine for the election should be ready as early as November.

03:50 That's the most perfect thing that we can do.

03:54 If the one bidder doesn't pass, Comilec will force them to do negotiated procurement.

04:01 That means we can choose those who are already existing.

04:05 They may not be able to complete the document, for example, but they have qualified or they are good and can provide us with a good service.

04:16 For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar is your witness.

04:23 Kapuso, let's be witnesses together!
