Comelec spokesman checks on transparency server

Published May 14, 2019 01:51 am
By Francis Wakefield Commission on Elections (Comelec) Spokesman James Jimenez is at the Pope Pius XIII Catholic Center in Manila to find out the problem with the transparency server, thus delaying the sending of the latest poll result in relation to the 2019 mid-term elections. In an interview by Jessica Soho' as part of GMA-7's special election coverage, he too would like to know firsthand the issue behind it. "The information that we're getting is that nagkakaroon tayo ng technical issue. At this point I really can't give you a better explanation than that kasi nandito naman ako sa PICC the whole time," Jimenez said. "But I'm on my way there now and then I'll find out and then I'll get back to you as soon as possible. I-explain natin 'to ," he added. Jimenez agreed that it is bothering that there is a big gap in the reporting taking place. "But I would like to emphasize also that the main track of the results is not the transparency server. It's a proclamation that goes step-wise, parang municipal canvassing, provincial canvassing, and then national canvassing. So 'yung is, in fact, a transparency measure," Jimenez said. "But again I totally understand na medyo mahirap malunok 'yung ganitong sitwasyon so that's why I'm going over there now, and I'm going to find out exactly what's going on." "For now it seems like the problem is only the reporting of the transparency server. Hindi sya nakakapag-generate ng report. That's something we need to figure out why," he added. Jimenez said he hopes to have an answer before midnight. Based on the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting's (PPCRV's) partial and unofficial list, 11 out of the 12 available seats in for the Senate race were scored by administration bets. The first batch of election returns transmitted to the transparency server was gathered from 330 out of 85,769 were as of 6:05 p.m. Leading the race is reelectionist Senator Cynthia Villar garnering 93,660 votes. Sen. Grace Poe, the lone independent candidate who scored a seat in the Magic 12, garnered 83,258 votes. Former Presidential aide Bong Go sits comfortably at the third spot with 73,786 votes. House of Representatives Deputy Speaker Pia Cayetano landed on the fourth spot with 72,105 votes. Former Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa snagged the fifth spot with 67,102 votes while incumbent Sen. Sonny Angara got 65,916 votes. Ilocos Norte Governor Imee Marcos, the daughter of the late former President Ferdinand Marcos, garnered 65,816 votes. Actor-turned-politician Lito Lapid garnered 65,753 votes while former Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Francis Tolentino got 56,274 votes. Incumbent Sen. Nancy Binay landed in the 10th spot with 55,616 votes. Actor Bong Revilla, who was recently acquitted of plunder charges in the pork barrel scam case, sneaked in at 11th place with 53,528 votes. The 12th spot was snagged by incumbent Sen. JV Ejercito, who got 52,097 votes. Sen. Bam Aquino trails behind at 13th place. Sen.
