00:00The Commission on Elections is continuing to blame the candidates who were elected in the election of 2025.
00:14Today, Comelec will start with several independent groups to review the local source code that will improve the instructions of the vote counting machine.
00:25First news, Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:31In any automated election, it is important to correctly count the machine for the votes.
00:37This is related to the so-called source code that is part of the software program that gives a set of instructions on what the machine should do,
00:48how the machine will perform, how it will be counted, and how it will be transmitted.
00:52That is why it is important to review the local source code not only of Comelec but also of other independent groups.
00:59Within more than two months, reviewers can use this room with computers to see and review the source code that Comelec will use in the election of 2025.
01:11This is one way to ensure the integrity of the upcoming election.
01:16The IT experts of NAMFREL or National Citizens Movement for Free Elections and PPCRV or Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting and several government agencies will also review the source code.
01:30It is also open to IT groups, students, political parties, and others.
01:34It will also be reviewed by foreign experts for international certification.
01:40Vulnerability testing, that is what they will do.
01:44They will look at the susceptibilities and vulnerabilities of the system.
01:48Once we have finished all the reviews and the system is okay, that is what we call a certified final trusted build.
01:57Those codes will be deposited in the vault of the Central Bank.
02:02In looking at the upcoming source code review, Mirror Systems, a supplier of machines that will be used in the election, also participated.
02:10Despite this, their local partner, St. Timothy Construction Corporation, withdrew due to the lack of effect on their work.
02:18Comelec took the lead due to the plan of running a company that is owned by this person.
02:23We're really just focusing on what we can do, what we can deliver.
02:26We're confident in our other partners as well.
02:30St. Timothy was not able to provide financial backing.
02:34Its NFCC or credit line that will fund the urgent needs will be paid by ICS or Integrated Computer Systems,
02:44which is also a former local partner.
02:46Mirror Systems promised Comelec that their two remaining local partners will be able to fill the gap in the upcoming election.
02:54As for the possible candidates, the candidates are still being judged.
02:59Among the Senators, Comelec Legal Department has already found 66 candidates who can be included in the ballot.
03:07Comelec is still accepting petitions against those who ran in the election.
