MANILA, Philippines — One of the local companies tapped by the Commission on Elections in a joint venture for the 2025 midterm polls withdrew on Thursday after the Comelec learned that some of its owners were themselves candidates.'It is not acceptable that a partner of our provider will run in the elections because it would compromise the integrity of the elections,' said Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia in a press conference, referring to St. Timothy Construction Corp.
The poll chief assured, however, that the withdrawal of St. Timothy would not affect the production of the ACMs because Miru Systems, the South Korean-based service provider, has two other partners.St. Timothy, as Commissioner Rey Bulay's estimate, has some 2 percent contribution to the funding for the production of the machines.Garcia assured that the production of the ACMs, which was now at 60 percent, would continue and would be delivered as agreed.
