00:00 The printing of ballot papers will be used in the upcoming Barangay-esque election.
00:06 Comalec has a report. Melaness Moras Mela has the story.
00:10 Yes Aljo, I am here at the National Printing Office in Quezon City where the printing of ballot papers and other forms for the election in October has already started.
00:24 Even though the election is on holiday, the preparation of the "Colosion On" election is ongoing for the upcoming 2023 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan election that will take place in October.
00:34 Comalec started this with the help of the National Printing Office.
00:38 These are additional ballot papers and other accountable forms.
00:42 Aljo, this is the last stretch of printing of ballot papers.
00:48 According to Comalec spokesperson Ron Westlao-Diangco, last year, they started the process for ballot printing and what they're doing now is just finishing the additional printing that needs to be done.
01:00 Even though the non-working holiday is on August, it has no effect on their service because their office is continuously busy, especially when the election period started.
01:11 It started on August 28, the same day that the certification of candidacy for the candidates for the election started.
01:21 But after that, they cannot campaign because the campaign period will start on October 19.
01:28 The election will be held on October 30 and the election period will last until November 29, which is the last day of the passage of the Statement of Contributions and Extensions or SOSE.
01:40 That is the latest news from Quezon City, Aljo.
01:44 Thank you very much Mel Lales-Moras.
