Nais ng isang dating kongresista na ipawalang bisa ng Korte Suprema ang kontratang inaward ng COMELEC sa Miru Systems para sa 2025 elections. Sabi naman ng Miru, hinihintay pa nito ang kopya ng petisyon at maglalabas ng pahayag, pag nakuha na ito.

00:00 A former congressman wanted the Supreme Court to remove the visa from the contract awarded by Comelect to Miru Systems for the 2025 elections.
00:09 Miru said that it is still waiting for a copy of the petition and that it will be released when it is obtained.
00:15 Sandra Aguinaldo and Salima Refran were on the spot.
00:22 A former congressman wanted the Supreme Court to remove the visa from the 18 billion contract of the South Korean firm Miru Systems Company Ltd.
00:34 for the 2025 elections.
00:37 In her 50-page petition for certiorari, she also asked for a temporary restraining order and a writ of preliminary injunction to stop its implementation.
00:47 Under the contract, Comelect will rent the vote counting machines to Miru.
00:53 Miru will also supply other necessities for the automated elections.
00:58 We will be turned into a guinea pig in 2025 because the machines we will use are prototype, which is against the automation law.
01:07 Secondly, there are certain procedures that were not followed by the commission on elections.
01:11 In addition, the government will spend only 18 billion pesos for the elections.
01:17 I think this is a robbery in progress.
01:20 So the one who will be in the grave is not the election but the robbery.
01:24 Easily, we will be robbed of 10 billion pesos.
01:28 Comelect's spokesman, George Erwin Garcia, said that according to the law, the award of the contract to Miru Systems
01:36 and that the process in the law was followed.
01:39 He also has a problem with the TRO requested by Erice.
01:43 We may not be able to continue the automated elections if we are stopped in our work.
01:51 Garcia added to what Erice said about the prototype.
01:54 Miru's machines have new features that were added to the vote counting machine, but the voting process is still the same.
02:03 Comelect prescribed our wish lists and those who participated in the procurement, especially Miru, provided us with a sample.
02:12 We can do what you're saying, the wish lists, everything is there.
02:16 Erice compared the old election contracts with the contract that was overpriced and not correct.
02:25 It was said that the election was postponed for years because there are old machines that were used.
02:31 Now, the Supreme Court's decision came out that says Comelect disqualified Smartmatic from the bidding for the vote counting machine and other necessary things in the election.
02:45 Garcia said that they will file a motion for reconsideration in the Supreme Court.
02:51 Comelect and Smartmatic declared disqualified in 2023 because of the allegation that it was included in the Omanoy bribery against the former Comelect chairman Juan Andres Bautista in America.
03:03 Smartmatic denied it and said that it should not be the basis of disqualification.
03:09 Garcia said that the investigation of America is leading in the Omanoy bribery.
03:15 Last three weeks, the US Homeland Security and the US DOJ came here.
03:22 They mentioned things and information.
03:25 They asked for additional documents.
03:27 They talked to our three people here in Comelect.
03:31 We were guaranteed that something big will happen this year.
03:36 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo and Salima Refran, we have learned 24 hours.
