NewsTranscript
00:00Let's talk to the Commonwealth Spokesperson, Attorney John Rex Laudianco. Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.
00:20Good morning sir Rocky, ma'am Connie and to all the listeners of Balitang Hali.
00:24How will the new temporary restraining orders of the Supreme Court affect the printing of balota?
00:30It will not affect Rafi because since the first 5 TROs, we have added an add function to our election management system.
00:40So what we did is we changed the candidates database, added the two names that are ordered by the Supreme Court,
00:47and we generated again a new 1,667 different types of balota.
00:53Maybe you will ask, why do we need to repeat the balot phases?
00:57Because a senator candidate was added and because of that, all balotas are affected.
01:03We are serializing at this time because all of our balotas have a balot ID or serial number.
01:10And every balota also has a barcode that contains a serial number so that our machines can detect if it was repeated, doubled, read or not.
01:21Komalek plans to start printing balotas if not on Friday, then on Saturday, sir Rocky.
01:27We know that there is a courtesy in every government agency, but is it possible for you to contact the Supreme Court on when the TROs will be released?
01:37We are in contact with the Supreme Court.
01:40We wrote in August to inform our activities, in August last year.
01:45We repeated our writing in December.
01:48Chairman Garcia wrote again to our Chief Justice to inform that we will start printing on January 6.
01:55Now, Chairman Garcia will write again to say that we plan to start printing if not on Friday and Saturday.
02:03Although the intention of this writing is to inform the calendar and activities of Komalek,
02:09but not to influence, pressure or dictate our Supreme Court.
02:14Our Supreme Court is independent and there is no order from our Supreme Court.
02:20Did the essay in the writing of Komalek have any effect?
02:23It does not need to have an effect because this is the usual way of informing Komalek of our schedules.
02:30We should also remember that there are cases of high treason.
02:36So, the writing of Komalek does not need to affect our Supreme Court, but it will be part of the records of those alleged cases.
02:44How is the fund of Komalek, especially the millions of pesos that were wasted in the bags that need to be destroyed?
02:50Based on the latest investigation by our finance department, it is coming out in the realignment of our funds.
02:57If we use the savings from our procurement, we will be able to compensate for all those expenses.
03:05And now, we can print the 6 million bags again.
03:11Let's wait for the next episodes. Thank you very much for your time this afternoon.
03:17Thank you very much.
03:18This is Komalek Spokesperson, Attorney John Rex Laudianco.
