00:00In other news, it has reached social media that the Commission on Elections is monitoring the candidates for the 2025 mid-term elections.

00:09As a matter of fact, the aspirants need to register their accounts.

00:14Until December, Luis Erizpe will be at the center of the news.

00:20Have you seen trolls or unknown social media accounts that are commenting or spreading fake news in the memory?

00:29Don't worry, because the Commission on Elections will start opening here.

00:34Through a consultation with Meta, Google, and Bystander, which is held by Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, and even YouTube,

00:44Comelec said they will limit the misuse of social media during the election.

00:50How? Comelec already has a compass if they will remove or delete a post on social media, especially if it contains something wrong.

00:58As much as possible, when Comelec requests, it should not be monthly. It should be immediate.

01:03It should be taken down immediately.

01:06You have seen their voluntariness and their willingness to help Comelec.

01:12I hope we will not just talk about it. I hope we can put it into practice.

01:16Let's show that we will not allow abuse or misuse of social media.

01:25Aside from the unknown trolls, one of the things Comelec will focus on is the misuse of social media of the candidate in their campaign.

01:34Comelec said they will not care about the post of a candidate.

01:38But if they see that it is a violation of the Commission's policy, it can disqualify a candidate.

01:46In the same manner, we cannot just care about what can be put in the campaign material,

01:51aside from the fact that it is not acceptable to our morality.

01:55Comelec will also look into the spending of the candidates using social media.

02:00If they will use social media influencers, especially during the campaign, Comelec will also know the value of the spending of a candidate.

02:09We can also catch them and we can coordinate with the Bureau of Internal Revenue.

02:16Did this influencer use it? Did he pay taxes? Did he report income?

02:22Because it cannot be said that everything is just a donation.

02:25For Comelec to focus more on the social media accounts of the candidates,

02:29they register the aspirants of their accounts.

02:33There is no limitation and even some can be registered.

02:37If they will not register it, it can be removed by the Commission.

02:41If the candidates have no plan to commit unethical standards or ethical violations,

02:51or just for moral reasons, I hope they will register their social media accounts.

02:56Because it is very important for us to monitor their movements and their posts.

03:02According to Comelec, there are already 62 political aspirants who registered their social media accounts.

03:09The registration will remain open until December 13 and the QR code will be scanned by Comelec.

03:16Meanwhile, yesterday, the camp of KOJC leader Apolo Quibuloy submitted a letter to Comelec.

03:22He is already a candidate for senator as an independent candidate.

03:26Comelec said that this has no effect on the candidacy of Quibuloy.

03:31As far as Comelec is concerned, we made a decision including him as a candidate

03:36regardless as to whether he is an independent candidate or a candidate with political party.

03:42Now, because of our issues, we will have to resolve later.

03:46In November, Comelec assured that they will decide all the petitions and appeals that their office will accept.

03:53In the last row, there are already 270 petitions that Comelec accepted.
