The Commission on Elections should stay committed to conducting automated polls despite questions raised against South Korean firm Miru Systems, which bagged the P18-billion vote counting machines contract for the 2025 elections, lawmakers said Wednesday."These are mere allegations . It is for the court to decide. These allegations cannot stop Comelec from delivering what is prescribed under the automated election law. Allegations are not enough reason to revert back to manual elections.
"In a manual election, there's fraud, violence, sudden power outage. Believe me, we don't want to revert back to that kind of practice. I hope the Comelec will not see that as an option because we already have automated election law, and that would be a violation of that law," Adiong said."Reverting back to manual counting would be more costly than the automation," Adiong said.
