MANILA—The Commission on Elections on Tuesday rejected "conflict of interest" accusations stemming from a contract awarded to the logistics company linked to a businessman who was a major donor in President Rodrigo Duterte's campaign.
The firm had "proffered the lowest responsive bid", which makes it qualified, Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez said. F2 Logistics will be responsible for transporting election materials, such as vote-counting machines to and from election precincts, according to Jimenez. "One of the things you check is to see if the machines are in working order. Lets speculate is it possible during transport nalagyan yan ng preloaded results . . . On election day itself before the start of voting a zero report is printed out. The minute you find out na walang laman 'yan . . . you know your speculation is baseless."
