00:00Comelec does not consider the possible release of the Supreme Court of the TRO
00:05in favor of the newly declared Nuisance candidates.
00:08Comelec explained that the ballot printing must be started
00:11so that the election will not be affected.

00:19On the website of the Commission on Elections,
00:22you can see the ballot phases that will be used for the 2025 midterm elections.
00:27That is why Comelec continues to print 72 million ballots
00:33after the next release of the TRO by the Supreme Court.
00:39And to reach the deadline of printing the ballots,
00:42Comelec machines have added more to the National Printing Office
00:47where 1.5 million are the target to be printed every day.
00:51Our timeline is still the same, we will still be ambitious on April 14
00:56to finish all the printed ballots.
00:59Even if we are delayed for three weeks,
01:02we will still do our best to print the ballots even at night.
01:08Even though the SC Commission is insisting,
01:10Comelec did not consider the possible release of the TRO by the Supreme Court
01:16in favor of Paul Baris in the ballot printing
01:19so that our fellow countrymen can avoid confusion in the upcoming election.
01:24Meanwhile, Comelec warned the candidates
01:27who are using songs or jingles
01:29that the composers do not have permission for their campaigns.
01:33They should either pay or be punished for this kind of irregularity.
01:39That is why we contacted the agency
01:42so that we can monitor and at the same time
01:46ask for the compensation of our artists
01:51to the candidates or political parties.
01:53In the end, when Comelec announces,
01:55they will do everything to make the election in the upcoming May.
