NewsTranscript
00:00Komelec denied that they were connected to the three arrested for the corruption of Sure Win,
00:07to a wealthy candidate worth P90 million.
00:10The victims were not only elected by Lapitan, but also in 2019 and 2022.
00:17Watch Jun Venerasion.
00:23These three men were immediately arrested by the PNP-CIDG.
00:28They were arrested in the Entrapment Operation where they were charged with the corruption of Sure Win,
00:34or the victory of a wealthy candidate for the local opposition worth P90 million.
00:41We are arresting you in the case of Article 293, Robbery with Threat Intimidation or Robbery Extortion.
00:49The IT experts introduced the suspects who have connections to Komelec.
00:53They also denied that they were able to manipulate the election results.
00:57They have offices, we saw that. They have props, we saw that.
01:01But the capacity to hack the Komelec servers, I don't think they can do that.
01:07They introduced the IT experts.
01:09Their job is one is a driver, the other is with the arrested, and the third is a secretary.
01:19They are just scammers.
01:21Komelec denied that the arrested were connected to them.
01:24During these times, many people are using Sure Win against the candidates.
01:29But it's just a waste of money because Komelec can't manipulate the election results.
01:35Our advice to Komelec is why don't you use those funds for campaign instead.
01:40Let's not be fooled.
01:43The Entrapment Operation was conducted after the candidates' suspects were complained to the Mayor of Enrique Cagayan,
01:49Robert Turingan and his son, Candidato Ring.
01:52In 2019, the suspects were the first to complain to Sure Win, in exchange for P90 million.
01:58They did not notice that they both lost.
02:01In 2022, they were again complained by the group.
02:05Turingan's counteroffer was P5 million.
02:08He did not care about the election results in their town.
02:12Even if he gave P5 million, the complainants still lost.
02:15In the election of 2025, they were again approached by the group.
02:20But Turingan did not win the election.
02:23Instead, the group was put in jail.
02:25I was able to give P2 million.
02:32But it doesn't matter because I succeeded in what I wanted.
02:39I won because I caught all of them.
02:41Komelec did not see a legal solution to the candidates who were transacting with Omanoy-Mandaraya.
02:48I understood the side of the candidates.
02:51But as much as we do not have a law penalizing them.
02:55It's not like vote-buying.
02:58It's direct to the voters.
03:01If true, Komelec said, the modus of the suspects did not change.
03:05They will approach the two opponents in the election and claim victory
03:10using their connections and knowledge in information technology.
03:14This is really a doodle.
03:15It's sure that one will lose and the other will win.
03:19If he wins, he will say that he is the reason why he won.
03:22He will say to the other, you see, you lost because you didn't approach me.
03:25The suspects refused to give a statement.
03:27Sir, please comment.
03:30They are facing a robbery extortion complaint.
03:33Five members of the group were approached by the CIDG.
03:37For GMA Integrated News, I'm June Veneracion, your witness.
03:43Mga Kapuso, maging una sa saksi.
