00:00This weekend, the complete list of candidates will be released before the printing of balotas on Monday.
00:10The disqualified candidates will not be included in the balotas until the court has no TRO.
00:16Sandra Aguinaldo has the floor.
00:19Comelec Chairman, George Erwin Garcia, helped the officials and employees of Comelec as part of preparing for the election.
00:31Especially since Monday, they will be printing balotas.
00:35According to our timelines, all of this should be followed.
00:39This is also a wake-up call.
00:41Our election will start in a few days or months.
00:46Therefore, extra and double efforts are needed to give everything.
00:51Even on the weekend, Comelec Commissioners have a special en banc to resolve the remaining disqualification cases.
01:00This weekend, the complete list of candidates for national and local elections will be released.
01:06The candidates who were disqualified in the Supreme Court will not be included in the balotas.
01:13Comelec said that they need to get a temporary restraining order from the court.
01:20They also wrote to the Supreme Court to inform them that they will print balotas on Monday.
01:26Until we get a temporary restraining order from the Supreme Court, we will have to proceed with the printing of the balotas.
01:34Our time is very limited. We only have 77 days to print the balotas.
01:39Before January 6, Comelec will release the so-called balot face or the appearance of the balota we will use.
01:46It is said to be two rulers or 24 inches long.
01:50Now it is complete. Even the list of our candidates has been finalized.
01:55Although, there are still some where there is a decision that we are removing the names of some candidates
02:04because their candidacies are disqualified or cancelled.
02:08Garcia also promised that there will be a registration for local absentee voting that Comelec will expand.
02:16Absentee voters are the people who are on duty every election.
02:20That's why they are allowed to vote earlier, like soldiers, police and media.
02:26We want to expand.
02:27It means that there are more employees of the government who should be able to avail local absentee voting, especially in the health sector.
