00:00 The Commission of Elections for the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections is now in the last phase of preparation.
00:05 This includes the printing of additional envelopes
00:08 where the state of some places has been replaced as the 10 Embobarangays
00:14 that were transferred to Taguig City.
00:17 Mel Alasmoras has the story.
00:25 The last phase of printing envelopes of the Commission on Elections
00:32 with the help of the National Printing Office for the 2023 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections has now begun.
00:39 The printing of more than 1.7 million envelopes, called reprinting,
00:46 for places with a plebiscite and state replacement,
00:49 like the 10 Embobarangays from Makati City,
00:52 which is now part of Taguig City, will take place in 3 to 4 days.
00:56 The process was temporarily suspended earlier due to a power supply issue,
01:00 but the printing will continue tomorrow.
01:04 If you remember, we have already announced that our envelopes are now complete.
01:10 But we have already printed some that are still in the municipality.
01:16 These are not cities, so the names of the cities and towns are not in the list.
01:22 Still in the hands of the SU in Makati and Taguig, a memorandum was also issued by the Comelec for their participation
01:28 as a follow-up to the Supreme Court's order regarding this.
01:32 Although we are not officially giving copies,
01:36 it cannot be denied that the Supreme Court has decided in our country.
01:40 It is a notice to the whole world and the Comelec was also notified.
01:44 So we need to move quickly.
01:47 The memorandum is being signed. All the official work of the different offices of the Comelec is being separated.
01:54 On August 28, the election period in the country will start,
01:57 which is the right day to start the issuance of the Certificate of Candidacy.
02:02 But the Comelec reminds us that there is no campaign yet
02:05 because the campaign period will start on October 19.
02:08 It will last until October 28 and on October 30, the same day of the election.
02:14 The Comelec said that whoever will run for the election will be answered early or after the scheduled deadline.
02:21 It is not only the disqualification that they can face here, but also the election events.
02:29 We know that because there are laws that are violating.
02:33 The Comelec reminds the public that we hold the future of the country.
02:39 So on the day of the election, we should be observant and smart voters.
02:43 Mela Lez Moraz para Sabayan.
