... So ang topic natin for tonight na ito, P2.5B na pondo ng Office of the President. Yung contingent fund niya ay inilipat sa Comelec para sa barangay SK election. Sabi yan dito ni Sen. Coco Pimentel."

... Pero ngayon lang natin ma-re-review ito. At mga kaibigan ayun po dito sa ulat na ito, basahin ko muna para ma-pag-react tayo.

... Or any agency then. It was wrong to have funded Comelec's needs from a fund which is controlled by one person, a political person who was elected through an election conducted by the Comelec," sabi ni Pimentel.

... So ito po yung true. Since Comelec should not and cannot be beholden to anyone or any agency that is given to have funded Comelec's needs to have a fund which is controlled by one person," nabasa na pala na sorry.

... So he added the amount should have been properly given to the Comelec through a budget process. Better if funded through the budget by Congress because Congress is a collegial, deliberative body composed of the direct representatives of the people," the senator said.

... So the funding of certain activities through the budget is the decision of the people acting through their representatives. On the other hand, Comelec Chairman George Garci clarified that the poll body was not aware that the fund came from Office of the President.

... According to Comelec Director Rex Laudianco, the Department of Budget and Management gave P2.5 billion personally. Garcia said the additional funding was requested from Congress and not from Office of the President dismissing allegations that they requested the P2.5 billion from Office of the President contingent fund.

... The Comelec requested a P44 billion budget for the next year, but the budget department slashed P17.4 billion. Garcia added, appealed for the restoration of at least P5.7 billion so the preparation for the national election will not be sacrificed.

... Di ba po dapat sa December 5, 2022 nag-registration na kami? Garcia said. Nag-increase na ng number of voters kasama SK, ngayon 91 million kasama SK. Nag-increase din number of precincts, number of electoral board members, pati ballot boxes, saka yung overtime."
