00:00Comelec employees, Cage Herman and George Erwin Garcia,
00:07who are now facing allegations related to the 2025 automated elections contract,
00:14are showing their full support.
00:15Luisa Erispe is live in the center of the news.
00:23She showed the whole Commission on Elections today to the public
00:27that the whole Commission is clean and that there is no misunderstanding
00:33regarding their 2025 automated elections contract
00:37through the presence of the whole Comelec to the public.
00:44From the Regional Directors to the whole Comelec and Bank,
00:47came to the public today to show their support to Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia.
00:53The shout of the employees and the Commissioners
00:56is to stop the spreading of fake news against the Commission and the allegations.
01:05Do not go down to the gutter.
01:09Do not cross the borders.
01:13Do not crucify us in the court of public opinion.
01:19Crucify us in the courts of law.
01:23See, we are united.
01:26So we will see to it that those persons who are doing this malicious attack against our institution
01:36will be punished.
01:38I hope to see the hard work of the whole Commission.
01:44It hurts us because
01:48this has been our family.
01:52We are a family that is being attacked.
02:17Metro Bank and Union Bank.
02:19Garcia is just waiting for the other two banks.
02:22But the Comelec will not stop just because of support.
02:25They have already investigated the National Bureau of Investigation
02:29who are the people behind this.
02:31In fact, Garcia has already made a new letter to the NBI
02:35to investigate the copy of bank accounts that were given to him by former Congressman Edgar Erice.
02:42And he is waiting for this to file a case.
02:47I am still weighing a lot.
02:50There is an investigation by the NBI.
02:52Should I go first or whatever?
02:54The investigations might be pre-empted
02:57instead of pinpointing the truth.
03:01And those behind this might focus on one person only.
03:06What is needed is not to save the others.
03:10The Comelec asked if one of the people behind this
03:16is the company Smartmatic,
03:19the former fast-track system provider of the country.
03:22The Comelec replied,
03:24the investigation is now up to the NBI.
03:27We are now waiting for the former Congressman Edgar Erice to comment
03:33on the possible filing of a case against him by the Commission on Elections.
03:38But the Comelec has a call to the public,
03:41especially to those who use social media,
03:43that they should not just believe what they read online
03:47because this is where they usually spread false news about them.
03:53And not to those who call if he will resign or leave
03:58because of issues or allegations.
04:00The funny answer from Garcia is,
04:04his explanation is because he hopes the public will prove
04:10that they can do a good and systematic election in 2025.
04:16That's all.
04:18Thank you very much, Louisa Erice.
