Idineklara nang panalo ng Comelec ang nag-iisang bidder na MIRU Systems para sa 2025 midterm elections. Bukod sa nasagot na raw ang mga agam-agam sa kumpanya, naka-tipid daw ang gobyerno sa halaga ng bid ng MIRU at nasunod din ang ilang request ng Comelec.

00:00 The winner of the Comelec was declared the sole bidder of Miru Systems for the 2025 midterm elections.
00:08 Aside from the answers, the company's agents said that the government was able to save on the cost of the Miru bid and the Comelec's requests were also followed.
00:19 Find out more in the interview with Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:24 If not for the help of the government, this is the automated counting machine that the Philippines will use for the upcoming 2025 national and local elections.
00:33 In a resolution, the Comelec declared the winning bidder the joint venture that is owned by Miru Systems of South Korea.
00:41 In exchange for the government's almost Php 18 billion, they will sell more than 100,000 automated counting machines.
00:51 The project includes a full automation system with transparency audit count or FastTrack, ballot box, consolidation and canvassing system server, laptop and printer, ballot printing, ballot paper, and ballot verification.
01:07 We are unanimous. We adopted the recommendation of our Special Bids and Awards Committee.
01:13 According to the Comelec chairman, before the project was given to Miru Systems, it was resolved to question the performance of these machines in the elections in Congo and Iraq.
01:25 The Democracy Watch group said that they are responsible for controlling the exchange of Miru Technology to 70% of voting stations in Iraq.
01:37 There was also a breakdown and technical error in 45% of the machines in Congo that were damaged by the earthquake in Butuhan.
01:46 Miru was forced to cancel their electoral system because it was beyond international standards.
01:54 The Comelec said that it was discussed in the recommendation of the Special Bids and Awards Committee.
02:00 They received certification from the election entities of the mentioned countries and the leaders of the election management bodies said that their election was good, contrary to what was reported.
02:15 The Comelec saved Php 800 million in the bid of Miru Systems, which was also given by Miru to Customize the machines.
02:26 This includes the fast entry of the ballot into the machine, the display of the summary of the votes on the screen,
02:33 and the cover on the side of the screen so that other people cannot see it, and the separation of the ballot receipt.
02:42 Miru Systems also has a machine that is a touchscreen if necessary.
02:47 The most important feature of this is that the machine will transmit to all the different entities.
02:55 We no longer have a transparency server.
02:59 From the machine in the precinct, it is immediately transmitted to the KBP, Majority Party, Minority Party, Citizens' Arm, Amprela, and PPC-RB.
03:09 It is sent to all.
03:11 Next, the Miru Systems will choose the negotiation of their contract.
03:15 Once it is signed, the production of automated counting machines in South Korea will begin.
03:22 But because the election management is not only based on machines,
03:26 Comelec will also focus on other issues such as vote buying, voting fraud, and other irregularities.
03:34 Miru Systems is grateful to Comelec and the Special Bids and Awards Committee for their support.
03:42 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, for Tutok 24 Horas.
