00:45We explained a lot here.
00:47The power of Komelec, the issues in the party-list, the issue of substitution.
00:51It became clear that Komelec is right in what we did, the no-substitution of candidates.
00:56For the new guidelines to start, Komelec will form a group to study the provisions and how it will be reviewed.
01:06We will create a team to give us the provisions of our guidelines in the party-list that needs to be changed
01:16because it should be consistent with the decision of the Supreme Court.
01:20Some of the first things they are looking to change are the substitution and hearing of the appeals they are receiving,
01:27as well as the nomination of Komelec Unbank.
01:32Meanwhile, aside from the study of the guidelines, the investigation of Komelec continues,
01:37as well as the release of many barangay certificates for the mass transfer of some voters.
01:44The Komelec barangay official has a sample that could be sued.
