Batangas City COMELEC is prepared whether it will be another “mano-mano” (manual) or automated election.
In a press release from PIO Batangas City, Mendoza (COMELEC Batangas City) stressed that their office is well-equipped and prepared if ever the May elections will be manual, as usual.
Meanwhile, Commission on Election Chair Jose Melo said that they are ready for full automated election nationwide. With P11.3 billion budget, the poll body is going full blast in ensuring that the country will hold the first modernized elections nationwide next year.
On the other hand, the controversies regarding the alleged change of policy on account of the recent stalemate between SmartMatic and Total Information Management continue to threaten the public. With this, the Filipinos fear that the national and local elections in May next year could end up a disaster or there might be no 2010 election at all.
These automated election issues should serve as warning for all local COMELEC offices nationwide. Whether this first ever automation will push through or not, these offices should remain prepared and well-equipped. It is always better to be ready than sorry anyway.
The following is a video from Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism that would further inform us about automated election.
We in WOWBatangas are keeping our hopes high that honest automated election will finally push through and the Comelec, under the chairmanship of former Justice Jose Melo, will make history.
