00:00Do you want to vote-buy?

00:08What can you do?

00:10Do you want to do it?

00:12Let's do it with Commissioner Ernesto Macedo Jr.

00:15from Committee on Contrabigay.

00:17Thank you for your time.

00:22Good morning, Rafi.

00:23Good morning to all of our viewers.

00:25Commissioner, how do you want to vote-buy at selling

00:28ngayon pong election 2025?

00:31I can share with you that as of start of office hours today,

00:35271 na ho ang total reports na natanggap ng aming committee.

00:40And out of these 271 reports,

00:43ang constituting vote-buying or vote-selling ay 169.

00:49At nandyan rin naman ho ang babagong focus na aming committee

00:52for these elections, yung abuse of state resources.

00:55At maabot ng 80 ho ang natanggap naming mga reports.

00:59Ngayon, if you're asking kung gaano katalamak,

01:03just by comparison, and you make your analysis on this,

01:07noong 2022 national and local elections,

01:10ang total reports na natanggap ng COMELEC ay 1,226.

01:14And ngayon ho, with 12 days remaining,

01:18271 ang aming natatanggap.

01:21So it's either mas bumaba yung incidence

01:24or depending on what happens when you reach election day,

01:28baka tumataas din naman po ang pagre-report ng mga tao.

01:34Tumataas yung pagreport ng tao pag malapit na po ba yung election

01:36or may bagong paraan para maitago itong vote-buying at vote-selling?

01:40Well, you can think of it as people having a higher awareness

01:45because, alam nyo, even when it comes to media presence,

01:49by thousands in percentage points ang naging dami ng coverage natin

01:54whether it's online or traditional media.

01:59Pero, ano rin yan eh, kasi isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit

02:04laging nandyan ang vote-buying, aside from societal or cultural backdrops or concerns,

02:16masasabi ho kasi dati, medyo mahina ang enforcement ng election law.

02:20Kung baga, anggap na nung mga nakapwesto na

02:23unahin namin yung trabaho namin na bilangin ang voto,

02:27o siguruhin na tama yung audit afterwards,

02:31lahat po kasi ng mga nangyayari ng mga ito,

02:33this is beyond the ballot.

02:35Opo, oho.

02:36So, sinusubukan naman namin ngayon,

02:38with this in bank and since three years ago,

02:42sabi namin, hindi na po pwede yung ganitong pamamaraan

02:45dahil nakakasalaula po ito sa tiwalan ng tao sa proseso.

02:48Opo, in short, wala po kasing nasasampulan.

02:51Sabi nyo ng isa sa mga election partner natin na Lente,

02:53ilan daw sa kanilang nakakausap,

02:55tinatangkilik yung vote-buying bilang paraan

02:57ng pagbawi sa mga politikong nangurakot sa kanila.

03:01Reaction nyo po dyan?

03:03At totoo yun, pero kailangan po natin i-disabuse

03:05ang isip ng ating mga mamamayan.

03:07Kasi yung iba kasi iniisip nila na

03:10kailangan nila pasalamatan yung pinanggagalingan

03:13ng kung anong abuso.

03:14Ito nga yung sinatawag na abuse of state resources.

03:16Kunyari, number one na nagawain sa ganyan

03:21ay yung ayuda.

03:23Eh, bakit ka dapat magpasalamat dun sa tao

03:26na ang binibigay naman sa iyo

03:27ay yung halaga naman na naaayon sa iyo

03:29na siya naman polisiyan at biyerno?

03:32Diba?

03:33So, it's a mindset that we have to change

03:36and it starts at least sa amin

03:38na dapat i-improve din paigtingin yung aming organization

03:43ng aming monitoring capacity.

03:45Dahil study upon study naman will show

03:48na kapag mas efektibo ang inyong election management body

03:51eh, mas nagtitiwala din ng taong bayan sa proseso.

03:55At sa ganun, hindi na lang sila basta-basta

03:57magbibenta ng boto

03:59or matatakot sila na mahuhuli kung sakasakalin.

04:02Sana nga dumating yung punta talaga

04:04magpatsure na yung ating mga butante.

04:05Eh, may napaparosahan po ba

04:07dahil sa vote buying o vote selling?

04:11Pagdating po sa election offense,

04:12dalawang ano ho yan eh

04:13kasi may criminal penalty

04:14at meron din ho yung tinatawag na administrative

04:16which is actually worse

04:19if from a candidate's viewpoint.

04:21Dahil pag ikaw ay sinampahan ng offense,

04:24ipoprosecute ka pa,

04:26magdadrag on yan.

04:27Alam mo naman yung history ng ating

04:28criminal justice system dito,

04:30medyo matagal, no?

04:31Justice is slow, sabi nga po nila.

04:33Pero pagdating sa disqualification,

04:36eh, hindi ka pa man napoproclama.

04:38Maaaring hindi ka na makakaupo.

04:40Or kung nakaupo ka man,

04:42pwede ka pang matanggal by disqualification.

04:44I think that is more a leverage

04:47or a deterrent against our candidates.

04:49At pinatunayan na ho yan, no?

04:51Kung tinatanong nyo kung ito ba

04:52ay puro show cause lang,

04:54eh, noong 2023,

04:55napakarami hong hindi pinaupo

04:57na nanalo.

04:58Hanggang ngayon,

04:59hindi pa rin ho sila nakakaupo.

05:01Dahil ho sa kaso laban sa kanila.

05:03And just yesterday,

05:04I believe,

05:05the First Division came down

05:06with a decision

05:07disqualifying

05:08a candidate for a congressional office

05:11to show our good faith

05:14in this regard.

05:15Okay.

05:16Eh, para maging aware po

05:17yung ating mga kababayan,

05:18paano ba mabilis na matutukoy

05:19kung may ASR

05:20or abuse of state resources?

05:21Yung isa pong kandidato.

05:23Saan ba mas talamak yung ASR?

05:25Sa national po

05:25o local level?

05:28Pareho ho yan, eh.

05:29Pero karamihan

05:30ng ating reports talaga.

05:31Like,

05:32ang napadalahan ho natin

05:32ng show cause,

05:33isang national candidate lamang,

05:35isang party list,

05:35the rest are all

05:36local positions.
