00:00Meanwhile, in the midst of the long-awaited preparations for the 2025 midterm elections,

00:17Luisa Erispe is in the center of the news.
00:21The Commission on Elections has already set out to teach our countrymen how to vote using the new automated counting machines.
00:38We have 1,800 municipalities and cities in each barangay of the country at this time of the day.
00:46But despite the long-awaited preparations, there is still one machine that has a problem in Mindanao.
00:51The Commission on Elections explained that it is possible for ACMs to travel to Mindanao,
00:56but this was done immediately and a contingency of machines was sent.
01:00In the election itself, the Commission on Elections promised that there will be no such problem
01:05because the entire country has repair hubs in each region.
01:09The rule is that if there is a problem with the machine, it will not wait for the other machine to finish so that our countrymen can vote.
01:18You need to bring a contingency machine as soon as there is a problem with the machine, you will bring it to our repair hubs.
01:26In the demonstration of the machine, the Commission showed that the vote will be read in just one minute and the transmission in just one minute.
01:34Even if the vote is shaded, the machine will read it.
01:38But they told the voters to be careful because it is possible for the machine to reject the vote and their votes will not be counted.
01:47The timing mark on the side is very sensitive because that is the reason why the machine will accept it.
01:55That is one of the things that the machine verifies.
01:58If it is pulled, or if it is wet, or if it is compromised, the machine will reject it.
02:07The roadshow of COMELEC will last until January 2025, and it is expected to reach more than 68 million voters in the country.
02:16Meanwhile, today, former local representative, Congressman Edgar Erice, who was disqualified by the 2nd Division,
02:24submitted his application to COMELEC, but he left a call to the entire COMELEC Unbanked.
02:33If they will be inhibited, the Court of Appeals, the justices, they can appoint justices to determine whether I violated it.
02:43I think they are not qualified to judge me because they are very angry with me.
02:53The answer from COMELEC Chairman Garcia is simple.
02:57He hopes that he will still trust the process of the law.
03:01We are happy that he recognized the jurisdiction of the Commission of Elections, the fact that he filed an M.R.
03:07This means that he knows that the COMELEC acquired jurisdiction.
