00:00Comelec is now rolling out the placement of the names of the aspirants who were not included in the ballot following the Supreme Court's order.
00:09On Wednesday, the plan was to start printing again, but until now, there was a delay even though there is a need to add more names.
00:18Sandra Aguinaldo was in touch.
00:20Comelec is now rolling out the so-called Trusted Build of the Election Management System, or EMS.
00:30Remember, the TRO in the Supreme Court got a senatorial order and seven local aspirants.
00:38As a result, Comelec had to place their names in the ballot that was not included.
00:43Tomorrow, Comelec plans to show the public the new ballot phase where the names of the eight aspirants are included.
00:50On Wednesday, Comelec hopes that they will be able to start printing ballots again.
00:56If an aspirant's name is included in the ballot that was obtained by the TRO in the Supreme Court, they will take action.
01:04Comelec also added an ad feature in the EMS so that it will be easier for the names to be included in the ballot.
01:11But Comelec reminds that there is a deadline for this.
01:14There are times when Comelec might not be able to comply with our orders.
01:22We will tell you what the right time is later. But in the meantime, again, we will proceed with the printing by Wednesday.
01:29So that this will not happen again in the 2028 presidential elections,
01:34Comelec plans to postpone the filing of the Certificate of Candidacy.
01:40If this was done on October 1 to 8 last year, the COC might file it in July.
01:47In this way, Comelec and the Supreme Court will have enough time and the preparation for the election will not be affected.
01:55However, this is not that easy.
01:58At least, they have September, October, November, and December to go to the Supreme Court.
02:03For the registration of voters, the filing of the application for registration as a voter should be done before July.
