00:00 Comilec and its group tried the Miru Systems machine that can be used in the election of 2025.
00:09 This Sunday, we will know if the Miru Systems will pass the poll, which is the only bidder for the vote counting machines.
00:18 This is Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:23 In front of the chairman and commissioners of Comilec, the ability of the machine that can be used in the 2025 national and local elections was tested.
00:33 It is from the Miru Systems of South Korea that is the only bidder.
00:38 Some commissioners, election watchdogs, and some members of the media tried using the machine.
00:45 Some tried voting by hand, some tried to hide the ballot or put other marks to test what the machine will do.
00:56 Miru Systems also demoed the direct recording electronic voting machine or the touchscreen machine that does not use a physical ballot.
01:06 According to Comilec, the Special Bids and Awards Committee has a recommendation if the Miru Systems passed the poll.
01:14 You will know within this week if we will give the award to this one bidder based on the technical evaluation, post-qualification, and such other issues pertaining to this company.
01:28 If it passes, 110,000 automated counting machines will be supplied by Miru Systems to Comilec.
01:35 These will be done in South Korea, but the machines will be leased or rented by Comilec.
01:41 However, we cannot be compliant because only when mass production is done will there be glitches.
01:50 So, what Comilec will do is, in the event that they get the award, we will target them from the production level, from the customization.
01:58 Bids for the online voting and counting system that will be used in overseas absentee voting were also opened.
02:06 But the two bidders did not pass the Indra Soluciones TecnologĂas de la InformaciĂłn and We Are IT Philippines, Inc. due to various reasons.
02:17 So, Comilec will release an invitation to bid again where the two bidders can join again.
02:24 If we see that the problem is in the documents, we think they can cure it. They can still do it.
02:30 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo is your witness.
02:36 Kapuso, let's be witnesses together!
