00:00All of the automated counting machines in the Philippines will be used for the election of 2025.
00:05But they were tested one by one to find out if they will be able to receive balotas again and again.
00:11And if the results of Sandra Aguinaldo's vote will be counted correctly.
00:21The warehouse of Comilex in Binan, Laguna was unboxed.
00:26One by one, the automated counting machine or ACM will be taken out to be inspected
00:31to see if all the parts are working.
00:33This is what is called a hardware acceptance test.
00:37These are the machines that we will be using in the election of 2025.
00:41They are now undergoing the so-called stress test.
00:44This was also done in the plant of Miru in South Korea.
00:48But according to Comilex, they are doing it again here in their Binan warehouse
00:52so that it can be used continuously and without fail in the upcoming election.
00:58Within three hours, 1,000 balotas are being passed through the machine
01:03to be tested to see if it is being read by the ACM.
01:07Together with Comilex, the PPCRV or Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting
01:13in observing the machines.
01:15There is a stress test because you will receive 5% of each batch.
01:19Because our clustered precinct has a maximum of 1,000 balotas per clustered precinct,
01:25we will be receiving 1,000 balotas.
01:27If there is a little jamming, it will take a little longer because it will be fixed.
01:31In a separate room, the machine is being tested to see if the results are being transmitted properly.
01:38It is also being checked to see if it is being read by the machine
01:41even if the circle is not filled with ink in front of the candidate's name.
01:47It should be accepted if the circle is less than 15% shaded.
01:52And earlier, Comilex Chairman tried this.
01:55When you use the pen, it is almost more than 15% shaded.
02:00Meanwhile, the machine is only 15% shaded.
02:03That is the instruction to it, which he read.
02:06But I hope it is still shaded.
02:08Yes, the whole thing is still shaded.
02:10Because it is just a small piece.
02:14According to Comilex, the last delivery of ACM has arrived in the country.
02:18That is why the 110,000 machines for the election are now complete.
02:23All the preparations are also on schedule.
02:27Almost all of the remaining 110,000 are already in the customs.
02:32So anytime, the total of 110,000 will be delivered to us.
02:37Comilex is all set. We are also all set for the 2025 elections.
