The Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) stated that their data is available for those who might eventually require it, as they began comparing physical election returns to the electronically-transmitted ones.
In a press briefing on Thursday, May 12, PPCRV spokesperson Atty. Vann Dela Cruz said that if ever there will be people who will see or observe inconsistency with their findings, their data is available.
"Ang aming datos ay andito. Yung mga taong interesado, yung mga taong maaring maapektuhan, ay maaring makipag-ugnayan sa amin at willing kami to share the data (Our data is here. If there are those who are interested, those who may be affected, they can coordinate with us and we are willing to share the data)," he said.
So far, as of 11:20 a.m., the poll watchdog stated that it has fully encoded a total of 16,820 election returns (ERs) so far which resulted in a 100 percent match.
When asked if the match means that there's no discrepancy found, Dela Cruz said that what the data shows, and that they are just sharing it with the public.
He later mentioned that the goal is to see that the electronically-transmitted results correlate with the printed ones.
"Kung sinasabi po ng datos na 100 yun po yung iuulat namin, kung sinabing 90 percent, yun po yung iuulat namin, kung lumabas 50 percent yung ang iuulat namin (If the data says that its 100 then that's what we report, if it's 90, that's what we report, if it's 50 that's what we report)," he added.
The poll watchdog has so far received 24,640 ERs.
