00:00Comelec Chairman George Garcia is ready to file a case against some individuals who are behind his demolition job against him and Comelec.
00:08We will discuss that with an update on the fact-finding investigation in the case of suspended Bamban Mayor Alice Goh.
00:13We will talk to Comelec Chairman George Garcia. Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.
00:17Good morning sir Rafi and good morning to our fellow countrymen.
00:21What are the reasons behind your so-called demolition job against you and Comelec?
00:27As you know, you don't pay attention to all the statements given by the press, media, public and others who always say
00:34that we should use the old machines or why the former provider of Comelec was disqualified
00:40or why it is illegal and null and void the contract that Comelec put in the Miru system.
00:46It's always like that.
00:47First, they always say, sir Rafi, about the so-called alleged bribery.
00:54Yesterday, there were 49 bank accounts, including 6 local bank accounts.
00:57We proved that all of them are spurious.
00:59All of those are included in the demolition of integrity.
01:03Not only me, not only me, but the whole commission of elections.
01:08Because sir Rafi, there is a pending case in the Supreme Court,
01:12where they are saying that the contract that we put in is null and void.
01:18There is no other reason for all of those things,
01:21but to influence the decision of the Supreme Court.
01:25So if this is a demolition job, do you expect more accusations against you and Comelec?
01:30Yes. Next, there are white papers for the individual members of the commission
01:35and then filing an impeachment complaint against all the members of the commission of elections.
01:40As you know, this will not stop.
01:43What we are saying is that we will not allow, sir Rafi,
01:46that our election will be disrespected, especially the name of the commission of elections.
01:51Because we will fight these kinds of attempts to forgive the name of Comelec.
01:58Are you ready for the name of the individuals behind this so-called demolition job?
02:05Sir Rafi, we have already given the documents,
02:07as well as the one we received from our office yesterday, to the National Bureau of Investigation.
02:11At the moment, the NBI is still investigating and we are waiting for their findings.
02:17Because one of the things I requested from them is to find out
02:22who is spreading this malicious information and demolition about the commission of elections.
02:30Let's wait for the results of that investigation.
02:34We will now go to Suspended Mayor Alice Go, who has a standing arrest order.
02:37How will the system of the government in Bamban, Tarlac be?
02:41Is it possible for the acting mayor to remain until the next election?
02:44If there is a suspension, based on our existing law, especially in the local government code,
02:49sir Rafi, the mayor is suspended, the vice mayor is acting,
02:52and as long as the suspension is not lifted,
02:54or for example, if there is another suspension or an extended suspension,
02:57the vice mayor will continue to remain as the acting mayor.
03:02If it will take a long time until the filing of the candidacy,
03:04the vice mayor can remain as the mayor of the area.
03:09Is your fact-finding on the possible maternal misrepresentation in the 2022 COC
03:16of Suspended Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Go?
03:20Sir Rafi, this week, we will finish the technical analysis and examination of the fingerprints that we have
03:26and the fingerprints that the National Bureau of Investigation has forwarded to us.
03:31By next week, we will have a report on that.
03:35If ever there is an outcome of this, we will guarantee,
03:40we will give a due process to the respondent
03:42and we will still answer the outcome of our fact-finding investigation.
03:48Okay. Thank you very much for the time you shared in Balitang Hali.
03:51Thank you very much, sir Rafi.
03:53Comedic Chairman George Garcia.
