00:00Thank you, Mel. At ngayon po, makakasama natin dito sa studio si Atty. Ryan J. Rosset,
00:05ang consultant on elections and social media ng legislation ng Legal Network for Truthful Elections,
00:11o LENTE, isa po sa ating mga election partner.
00:14Atty. Rosset, magandang araw po sa inyo.
00:17Magandang araw din sa inyo.
00:18Good morning, Atty. Thank you for joining us.
00:20So, Atty. Based on your monitoring so far, alas 10.30 na umaga, ano yung mga naging observation ninyo?
00:26Well, thus far, yung sabi sa monitoring namin, more or less smooth naman yung conduct ng elections.
00:36There were incidents of, for example, yung balots, nahihirapan pag finid.
00:41And then there were also incidents na yung, tawag dyan, yung balots, and then,
00:51There were also incidents na sinasabi na yung ibang monitors, hindi pinapayagan dun sa,
00:56Sa loob.
00:58Sa loob, no? Especially dun sa barb area.
01:01And then thirdly, there were, there was, may incidente rin kami na monitor.
01:06Kasi when you belong to the vulnerable sector, the, for example, senior citizens, PWDs, and
01:13Pregnant, you can avail of the PPPs, di ba?
01:19So, if you can avail of the PPP, that's an option sa'yo.
01:23So, you can, pwedeng dun ka, pero pag sa PPP kasi, the system is,
01:30hindi ikaw yung magkikita balot sa ECM, di ba?
01:33So, now, ang ginagawa sa ibang areas is that they, instead of it being an option
01:39on the part of the voter, sinasabi na you can only,
01:45Dun ka lang.
01:46Dun ka lang sa PPP to vote.
01:48So, maganda maklara yun.
01:51Kasi yung, I guess insofar as some of our voters are concerned,
01:55the part of the process, yung bahagi, part nung proseso na feeling ilag,
02:03parang mas mag-incredible insofar as they are concerned,
02:06is sila yung mag-feed ng ballots dun sa ECM.
02:09Para makita nila yung receipt.
02:11Kung tinanggal yun, yung iba, parang, ah.
02:15So, yun, i-remind lang natin yung ating mga electoral board members
02:19na it is actually an option on the part of the voter.
02:21So, kung magawag pilitin.
02:23Yes.
02:23Kung gusto nila na sila yung pupunta dun at sila yung maglalagay ng ballot,
02:27at kung kaya nilang akyatin, haya na sila.
02:29Yes.
02:29Tsaka, attorney, ako personal observation ko rin kanina,
02:32kahit gustuhin man ng vulnerable voter,
02:36na dun lang siya sa priority polling place,
02:41hindi sapat yung bilang ng mga volunteers na kukuha ng balota
02:44at maghahatid ng balota at magsusubo ng balota.
02:48Kahit sabihin nila lang, i-entrust mo na yung balota,
02:50parang kulang pa rin yung volunteers.
02:52Kaya, anong nangyari?
02:54Imbes sa mag-antay, sila na rin, tiniisa lang nila yung akyat sila sa mga upper floors.
02:59Ang ano kasi dun sa PPP,
03:01isa dun sa, I think, sabihin natin, disadvantage,
03:05is that since staff,
03:09yung staff kasi yung kukuha ng balota dun sa presinto, di ba?
03:11So, para naman hindi kawawa yung staff,
03:15kailangan may sufficient number, sabi yating 10...
03:18Hindi isa-isa.
03:19Oo.
03:20E paano kung, halimbawa, marami na, kukunin niya, di ba?
03:25Tapos, pagbalik niya, may mga nakapila, pero it's not sufficient number.
03:30Sabi natin, mga tatlo-apat.
03:31So, kailangan may mag-aantay pa.
03:32So, minsan, matatagalan.
03:34And that's why it's also important to emphasize na dapat nga,
03:37it's an option on the part of the voter.
03:40Na, you know, if you want to avail of the PPP
03:42or dun ka lang sa regular pooling place mo.
03:47Pero linawin din natin, attorney,
03:49hindi kasi pwede na yung kasama nung,
03:51halimbawa, nung senior citizen, yung ka-anak niya,
03:54hindi pwedeng sa kanya papakuha yung balota,
03:56hindi rin pwedeng siya yung mag-aabot ng balota.
03:58Hindi. Ang kukuha talaga nun is the staff ng PPP.
04:03Kasi yung pagkuhan ng balota, dapat staff.
04:06Kasi the ballot is actually an accountable form.
04:09So, dapat from the time na sinabi nung voter doon sa PPP na,
04:15I wish you to avail of the PPP,
04:18tapos mag-execute siya ng waiver,
04:20tapos authorization to get the ballots,
04:23yung staff na nang kukuha,
04:25bago ibalik sa kanya.
04:27I think nagkaroon ng kalituhan
04:29kasi hindi lahat nung pumunta sa polling precinct,
04:32alam nila na ganito yung magiging sistema
04:34doon sa priority polling place.
04:36Hindi nila alam na kailangan may waiver.
04:38So, nagulat sila na hindi sila yung magpapasok
04:40nung kanilang balota doon sa ACM.
04:43Pero yung...
04:44Excuse me.
04:45Go ahead.
04:46Pero yung ba, pag senior citizen ba,
04:49kailangan ganun ang sistema?
04:51Hindi naman.
04:52Hindi po.
04:52It's your choice.
04:55Optional yun na magpapatulong ka and all of that.
04:58And in fact po,
05:00if you go to the regular polling place,
05:03there's actually a...
05:04meron tiyatawag na priority thing.
05:07So, parang ang gagawin doon is
05:09ikuunahin, di ba?
05:11Tapos may mga silya doon,
05:13mga lima na pwede ka umupu doon.
05:16Tapos,
05:16habang pinoprocess siguro yung ibang botante,
05:21pero ikaw,
05:22may senior ka,
05:23ikaw naman yung ipaprioritize.
05:25In those instances,
05:27it might be, you know,
05:29mas convenient din
05:31on the part of the voter
05:32to avail of...
05:35just go to the regular polling place
05:36instead of the PPP.
05:38But again,
05:40ano pa rin yan?
05:41Choice yan ng botante?
05:41Let's make it from there.
05:42Go to the regular polling place.
05:45To begin with,
05:47bakit kailangan na may i-segregate pa yung mga...
05:51mga ano?
05:52Kasi po,
05:53minsan may...
05:56it's an issue of access din.
05:59There are times na,
06:00for example,
06:01the regular polling...
06:02kasi yung PPP
06:03should be located in the ground floor.
06:05Of course.
06:06Minsan kasi,
06:07yung regular polling place,
06:08hindi siya located sa ground floor.
06:11So, halimbawa,
06:11hirap lumakad yung botante.
06:14Mas okay doon sa botante,
06:17nadun siya sa PPP na lang.
06:20Hindi, sir.
06:21Can I, ano...
06:22Eh, bakit hindi ba nga sa lower floor na lang gawin?
06:26Ah.
06:26Yung kanilang polling place?
06:29Ah, sometimes po,
06:30it's an issue din of space eh.
06:32So...
06:33But then,
06:33all the schools have a ground floor.
06:36So...
06:36I mean,
06:36di ba?
06:37All the schools have a ground floor.
06:39Yun ang malawak talaga,
06:41yung ground floor.
06:42Yeah po.
06:42Hindi yung mga aakit na pa sa third floor,
06:44second floor.
06:45Yung nabanggit ni Maris kanina,
06:46yung sa perceived assignment,
06:48halimbawa,
06:48hindi nila ma-segregate yung senior,
06:50yung PWD,
06:51yung regular voter,
06:52yung able-bodied voter.
06:54No, but why would you need to do that?
06:57Why can't they just go together
06:59with the rest of the voters?
07:01Ah...
07:01They can.
07:02It's an option.
07:03Yes, it's an option.
07:04Precisely.
07:04But put the...
07:06Ano tagano yung...
07:07Voting place
07:08in the lower floor.
07:10In the...
07:10In the...
07:10In the ground...
07:11On the ground floor.
07:13Doon kayo.
07:13Ang isa rin po kasi diyan
07:15is that the PPP
07:17doesn't have an ACM.
07:20So...
07:21Then why don't you give them an ACM?
07:23Then ang...
07:24Whereas the regular polling place
07:26has an ACM.
07:27So,
07:28ang mangyayari doon
07:29is that
07:29if you have,
07:30for example,
07:3140-50 voters
07:33doon sa...
07:34Sa regular...
07:36Regular polling place.
07:38And then all...
07:39All other...
07:39Sabihin natin...
07:40In general,
07:42seniors...
07:43Sabihin natin...
07:45Yung mga may kapansanan,
07:47doon din sila.
07:48Then it might be able to...
07:50Mag-add up siya doon sa oras
07:52that the voters will actually spend
07:53doon sa area.
07:54So...
07:54Attorney Rosette,
07:55hold that thought.
07:56Yes.
07:56Dahil magpapatuloy po tayo
07:58sa ating diskusyon,
08:00magpapause lang tayo
08:00for a short break.
08:01Yan.
08:02Mamaya,
08:03pag-usapan natin
08:03yung tungkol sa anong
08:04yung tungkol sa
08:05mga na-disenfranchise.
08:07Ano ba dapat
08:07doon sa mga yan?
08:08Mga...
08:09Malinga yung picture
08:10na doon sa voters list, eh.
08:12Pero yung sa...
08:14Kailangan mo na
08:15i-book yung ito.
08:15Ayan.
08:16Anyway,
08:16babalik po kami.
08:17Ayan.
08:17Ayan.
08:18Ayan.
08:18Ayan.
08:19Ayan.
