00:00 Meanwhile, we are still here at Pasong Tamo Elementary School.
00:04 This is one of the only schools in the Philippines
00:09 that has automated the process of electing the barangay and the youth.
00:13 It will start this morning at 7am.
00:16 But even though the voting starts at 7am,
00:20 we have already seen a lot of people coming here to vote.
00:24 We have seen PWDs, senior citizens, and pregnant women
00:30 because they are among the first and priority in the line when it comes to voting.
00:36 We have also seen a lot of poll watchers here in this school
00:41 because there are 16,766 registered voters at 143 precincts.
00:47 And because there are a lot of people voting here, there are a lot of poll watchers.
00:54 And of course, the electoral board, the teachers who will facilitate the voting,
00:59 we have already seen that they are already coming here.
01:03 Earlier, they were asking for the use of vote counting machines in their precincts.
01:10 At this point, we will go to one of the precincts.
01:13 We have with us, Ma'am Lalaine Yap.
01:18 She is the chairman of precinct 538.
01:24 558.
01:25 558, sorry.
01:26 Ma'am, good morning to you.
01:29 Thank you for having us.
01:31 Anyway, the elections will start at 7am.
01:35 Can you just walk us through, ma'am,
01:37 how the system will be for the national elections?
01:41 The voters are looking for their precincts outside.
01:45 Can they sit here?
01:48 How will the situation be?
01:49 It's the same, ma'am.
01:50 Outside, we have lists of our voters.
01:54 They will look at their numbers and I will verify it through their government ID.
02:00 And then, I will prepare their ballot box.
02:05 And then, they will give it to the poll clerk.
02:08 They will put their serial number on their name.
02:11 Alright.
02:12 Ma'am, we saw that the vote counting machine is still sealed.
02:17 How will it be later?
02:20 When will it be opened?
02:21 And when will the process start to show to the poll watchers that our DCM is really efficient?
02:30 We are just waiting for the candidates to be completed so that they can witness the opening of our machine.
02:39 They will see that it is really sealed and our tab has no balota inside.
02:45 Alright.
02:46 How do we prepare for the common problems that occur in the vote counting machines,
02:50 the automated ones, the ones that don't read the balota or it's stuck?
02:55 How do we do it?
02:56 Like the ones that don't read, we have a backup SD card.
03:01 So, two of them read the balota votes.
03:08 What about the ones that are written with balota?
03:09 Those are rejected.
03:11 The machines will not accept those.
03:13 And if they don't accept, the voters cannot ask for it again?
03:16 No, not anymore.
03:17 Just once.
03:18 That's why they really need to be careful.
03:20 And they are not allowed to bring water inside the precinct because our balota is very sensitive.
03:28 And of course, we need to be careful with our machines.
03:31 What are the other things that are not allowed to bring inside the precinct?
03:33 Water.
03:34 That's also not allowed.
03:35 Cellphone.
03:36 That's also not allowed because the balota is not allowed to take pictures.
03:40 Alright.
03:41 This is also to avoid the vote buyers.
03:44 Yes.
03:45 What are the other things that we expect to happen during the vote peak?
03:50 Usually, we cater for seniors, PWD, and regular voters.
03:56 So, we expect that the vote will be at the peak at 8 o'clock because the seniors vote early.
04:03 Ma'am, let's talk to the voters, especially those who will go to Pasumpon Elementary School.
04:08 What are the reminders that we should give them so that when they come here,
04:12 they will be very efficient and they won't be afraid to vote?
04:15 For those who will vote today, what we should do is to look for our precinct.
04:23 We can look for it.
04:24 We have a guard outside so that it won't be hard for us to look for our precinct.
04:30 When it comes to our precinct, we should immediately look for our name and number.
04:36 So that when they come here, they can just say the number of their name and it will be easy for us to find them.
04:43 And the vote will be counted directly.
04:46 Alright. Thank you very much. We're wishing you all the best, Ma'am.
04:48 Thank you, Ma'am.
04:49 I hope that there won't be any problems, unlike the past, where we were having a hard time.
04:53 Even the SIM was not being read.
04:55 Yes.
04:56 So, we're all ready.
04:57 Yes. We're ready.
04:58 Again, thank you very much, Ma'am Lalene Yapo.
05:01 She is the chairman of Precinct 558 here in Pasumpon Elementary School.
05:05 Thank you very much.
05:06 She's back in the studio.
05:07 Thank you, Ma'am.
05:08 Good luck.
