00:42.5

Interview din natin si
01:19.4
Congressman Walden Belio
01:21.7
Sa leading intellectuals
01:23.5
Take on what's happening
01:25.1
Bati yung kanyang case
01:26.3
Political motivated case
01:28.3
According to his camp
01:30.0
Marami tayong pag-usapan mga kameta today
01:42.1
Lahat yan pag-usapan natin mga kameta
01:44.1
Nako nako nako nako po
01:47.8
This is it mga kameta
01:50.4
It looks like things are
01:54.3
Potentially an endgame
01:60.0
As the remnants of the previous regime
02:03.0
And as the pro-Duterte camp
02:05.0
Takes it to the next level
02:07.1
Eto talaga mga kameta
02:09.4
Kung etong Marcos-Duterte
02:12.4
Unit team dynamics na nakita natin
02:14.2
Sabi ko it's like a Shakespearean play
02:15.8
In at least three acts so far
02:17.8
And we don't know if this is the final act
02:20.5
Was when BBM did not give the
02:23.1
Defense Secretary position
02:24.4
Kay Sarah Duterte
02:25.9
Marami nag-alit sa Davao
02:28.2
Well Sarah had to accept that
02:29.8
And then the second act
02:31.8
Nagpo-push back yung Duterte camp
02:33.8
Dun sa foreign policy ni BBM
02:35.3
Especially yung kanyang
02:36.3
Increasingly warm relations
02:39.6
And increasingly tense relations
02:41.4
Ayan lumaban sila
02:44.1
Tinanggal si Arroyo
02:45.3
Dun sa senior deputy speaker
02:47.1
Of the House position
02:49.2
Dahil pinipilit na naman yung kabila
02:52.7
Nag special envoy visit sa China
02:54.8
Na presumptuous yung dating tatay
02:59.8
Inaawa yung kongreso
03:01.4
Rotten daw yung kongreso
03:02.8
Yung sabi ng tata niya
03:04.1
Dahil nga sa nangyari
03:05.7
Sa confidential fund
03:09.3

03:10.4
Where by the attack
03:13.6
To the next level
03:15.3
Lumalaban na talaga
03:18.9
Someone has to page
03:21.9
Na they're no longer in power
03:26.0
You know what I'm saying
03:29.1
May mga trolls din tayo dyan
03:31.5
Hindi pa updated sa panahon
03:35.6
Tapos na po yung time nyo

You had six years
03:41.1
To bully all of us
03:42.3
And impose your ideology
03:45.1
Not sure it really worked
03:48.5
Mukhang ayon yung tanggapin
03:49.8
Na wala na kayo sa pwesto
03:51.8

14:40.2
Pagtingin ko ng video ko,

Ang pixelated na.

Postpaid natin dyan.

We have to drive ourselves.

Two hours in traffic.
15:09.4
From work to BGC.
15:14.8

15:17.7

15:57.4
Pero, mga kamets.

16:05.3
Next year na tayo
16:06.7
sa mga long jump shades
16:11.4
Ayaw ko na magsalita.
16:16.2
Let's get down to business.
16:18.1
Ito na, ito na, ito na.
16:24.1
medyo nagsishowdown na.
16:26.5
put things into context.
16:27.8
Yan, seryoso na tayo, mga kamets.
16:29.2
Enough of clownery.
16:30.6
Let's get down to business.
16:33.6
So ngayon, mga kamets,
16:36.1
sa Philippine House of Representatives
16:37.7
dito sa allegations
16:43.0
almost 2 billion pesos
16:48.4
ng House of Representatives.
16:50.4
of course, we all know
16:51.0
the background of this.
16:52.0
We have discussed this
16:52.7
dun sa mga vlogs natin.
16:55.5
dyan sa confidential fund,
16:56.9
yung reallocation
16:57.6
from Office of Vice President
16:58.7
papunta sa West Philippine Sea,
17:00.6
yung attack ni Digong
17:03.3
yung rotten yung house,
17:06.3
So, pag-usapan natin yan.
17:07.7
So, what is the context
17:08.5
right now, mga kameta?
17:09.9
So, House of Representative
17:12.6
sa House of Representative
17:15.4
dun sa Sunshine Media Network
17:18.1
dun sa kanilang isang report.
17:21.1
let's be very clear,
17:24.6
your most established
17:26.5
legacy media channels,
17:28.0
to be clear, alright?
17:29.8
yung Speaker of the House
17:32.1
1.8 billion pesos
17:34.0
dun sa kanyang travels.
17:37.7
The motion for investigation
17:41.4
Representative Zia Alonto,
17:45.6
kaibigan natin yan.
17:46.6
Kailangan din natin
17:47.7
kasi ang dami nangyayari
17:49.2
mga good things na mangyayari,
17:50.8
kailangan natin pag-usapan yan.
17:53.6
sa mga interviews.
17:54.1
Nating natin, no?
17:55.8
With Sir Rafi Tulfo,
18:04.8
Pag-usapan natin yan.
18:09.5
look into this issue
18:15.2
And the motion for investigation
18:20.0
si Congressman Zia.
18:24.1
pa rin ako sa walang
18:24.9
yung mga raffle-raffle na yun.
18:26.3
O, maayos kayo dyan.
18:27.6
Na-stress tuloy ako
18:29.5
Dada-dubalik tayo.
18:31.3
The motion for investigation
18:35.4
yung kaibigan natin yan.
18:36.9
ma-interview din natin
18:38.6
Following dun sa isang
18:39.6
privileged speech
18:45.0
privileged speech,
18:46.6
na yung SMNI report
18:47.8
on the Speaker of the House
18:49.0
alleged travel fund
18:56.1
a legislative inquiry
18:57.5
as part of the House Committee
18:58.4
on Legislative Franchises
18:59.7
Oversight Function.
19:05.5
ng pinag-usapan ngayon.
19:06.9
let's not forget,
19:09.7
the country's biggest
19:19.0
independent experts believe
19:22.0
politically motivated.
19:24.1
It had everything to do
19:25.6
with who was the president
19:26.5
and the allegations
19:27.3
that the former president had.
19:29.6
as ABS-CBN went down,
19:31.6
some others tried
19:32.4
to fill in the gap.
19:34.9
was not so successful.
19:36.9
Gusto nila mag-sana all.
19:38.4
Hindi masyadong successful.
19:42.2
made the most, no?
19:44.0
Out of itong vacuum
19:46.1
semi-fall ng ABS-CBN.
19:49.0
I mean, ABS-CBN is still around
19:53.3
dun sa entertainment.
19:54.1
Sa mga production.
19:55.8
O, yung shoutout dyan
19:56.6
sa mga kaibigan natin
19:58.1
my former friends
20:02.4
But the reality is
20:03.4
that pagdating sa TV,
20:07.7
And there was a plan
20:08.9
to merge with TV5,
20:10.9
which is, of course,
20:11.5
my current employer right now.
20:15.2
nakara din ng drama
20:16.5
Mahabang usapan yan.
20:17.9
information about
20:19.6
the dynamics there,
20:21.0
pero ibang vlog na yan.
20:24.1
Baka magpa-raffle
20:27.2
Balikan natin yan.
20:29.5
this issue of franchise
20:30.3
is very, very important
20:31.3
because the Congress
20:33.5
on granting franchise
20:35.0
and also potentially
20:36.1
revoking the franchise.
20:37.8
Because yung franchise is
20:39.1
you're essentially giving
20:42.3
you're renting out
20:48.9
Mahalaga yung frequency niyan.
20:53.4
yung frequency niyan.
20:59.2
as franchise renewal.
21:01.5
my other former employer,
21:02.5
was able to renew it
21:04.7
So, medyo safe sila.
21:06.3
But nevertheless,
21:07.4
even if may franchise ka na,
21:08.8
that doesn't necessarily
21:09.8
mean na hindi pwede
21:16.8
you're just given that
21:18.1
frequency in trust.
21:20.1
So, it doesn't mean
21:21.8
whatever you want with it.
21:22.8
So, it's very important.
21:24.1
You responsibly deploy
21:25.9
na binibigay sa'yo
21:26.8
bilang isang mahalaga
21:28.4
at limitadong privilyeo.
21:32.0
ito po yung sinabi
21:32.6
ni Congressman Suarez.
21:36.8
isa itong fake news.
21:41.1
dun sa mga mahal ko kayo
21:42.2
hindi maaari namang Tagalog,
21:43.6
ang ibig sabihin niyan,
21:46.4
published by SMNI,
21:51.2
naginglish na siya dito.
21:52.2
We demand immediate retraction
21:54.0
We demand immediate retraction and follow-up.
21:54.1
from those spreading fake lies.
21:56.7
we're exploring other options.
21:59.3
to hold accountable
22:01.0
for this smear campaign.
22:07.7
media accountable.
22:09.9
In the spirit of transparency
22:11.3
and accountability,
22:13.0
this August Chamber
22:13.9
to direct the Committee
22:14.8
on Legislative Franchise
22:19.5

22:24.0
to investigate this matter
22:26.4
House Secretary General
22:29.3
hindi na minensyon
22:31.2
doon sa kanyang statement.
22:39.1
they're not even worth mentioning,
22:41.6
ay isang smear campaign din,
22:44.4
misleading the public
22:48.8
House leadership.
22:54.0
lumaban yung kabila
22:55.8
at sabi nung mayari
22:58.3
huwag niya kaming takutin
22:59.7
na tanggalin niyo
23:04.1
pag yan ginawa nyo,
23:05.2

23:08.6
Magpapasalamat kayo
23:20.3
Uminit, uminit, uminit na

So, don't worry, mga kameta.
23:34.9
We're gonna talk about
23:35.7
these issues soon
23:36.9
with people who are
23:40.5
Kung sana lang may media,
23:41.4
live, andyan ka ba?
23:45.0
pag-usapan natin,
23:47.3
to put things in context,
23:48.6
this is the same media,
23:51.0
which has been accused
23:51.8
of massive red-tagging
23:53.4
And making very libelous
23:55.7
and questionable claims
23:57.3
including against,
23:59.2
even yung minamahal natin,
24:08.7
just to put things in context,
24:14.3
si Mayor Magalong.
24:16.5
Kasi alam nyo naman,
24:17.2
ang problema dun sa isang media,
24:19.2
quote-unquote media na yan,
24:20.2
kung sino-sino yung mga kanilang
24:21.5
analysts and experts,
24:24.0
medyo unhinged na yata
24:26.2
yung mga attacks and all.
24:28.0
so let's not forget,
24:34.3
tinarget si Mayor Magalong,
24:38.8
na former PNP number two.
24:41.5
na-interview din natin dito
24:43.1
solid na eto na talagang
24:46.6
ire-red-tag mo pa
24:49.2
Ganon ka-ridiculous
24:50.7
analysts, experts
24:52.0
na meron sa media,
24:53.8
Quote and quote lahat yan.
24:57.1
Now, interestingly,
25:00.5
very interestingly,
25:09.5
paborito natin yan,
25:12.5
do not interrupt me.
25:15.6
isang favorite natin na
25:16.7
kasama natin sa mga interviews
25:31.3
ex-human rights lawyer.
25:33.5
Eto si Harry Roque.
25:39.1
come to the rescue.
25:40.4
I think may show siya dyan
25:41.4
sa quote and quote
25:43.8
media network na yan.
25:45.4
Quote and quote show
25:46.2
sa quote and quote
25:54.0
Very high level president.
25:55.7
Has asked media practitioners
25:57.2
to stand in solidarity
26:02.1
dun sa franchise niya
26:13.7
Journalist ka na?
26:15.8
Kasamahan sa media,
26:16.9
meron na naman po
26:29.2
I'm calling our friends
26:34.1
yung translation.
26:35.1
There's another threat
26:35.9
against the right
26:37.8
by way of threatening
26:39.8
of SMNI franchise.
26:42.8
Eto ang kalayan po
26:45.7
ay isang napaka-importante
26:48.6
makaroon ng demokrasya
26:50.0
dahil kinakailangan
26:57.5
Marketplace of ideas.
27:07.6
this freedom of the press
27:11.6
because it ensures
27:14.4
we need to protect
27:17.7
actually free market
27:27.7
this is the same person.
27:29.8
Very interestingly,
27:31.0
this is the same person
27:32.5
when people were crying
27:38.0
and that something
27:38.7
is seriously wrong
27:41.7
eto pa yung sinabi niya.
27:43.5
Ito yung sinabi niya.
27:47.4
Tanggapin niyo na lang.
27:51.4
So the same guy, ha?
27:53.4
na speaking na about
27:58.3
Tapos yung mga tao
27:58.8
na nag-raise ng concerns,
28:00.7
eto pa yung sinasabi niya.
28:10.2
Nung mga nag-appeal
28:15.8
under very questionable
28:18.8
Eto pa yung sagot ni
28:21.0
ex-human rights lawyer.
28:22.6
human rights lawyer.
28:25.9
maghintayang tapos na po
28:30.1
Dumaan sa proseso
28:32.7
sa saligang batas.
28:34.8
Wala tayong magagawa.
28:36.4
Parang sidigong yan, ha?
28:40.3
Eto yung sinabi niya
28:46.0
And then over the next years,
28:47.9
ina-attack yung kung sino-sino,
28:50.6
questionable analysis,
28:56.0
stand next to each other,
28:58.1
blah, blah, blah.
28:59.5
Yan ang problema sa atin,
29:04.3
Yan kasi nangyari kung
29:05.6
medyo alternative universe
29:22.3
falling apart na.
29:26.5
medyo delikado na yan.
29:29.4
habang nakikita natin na ng
29:31.1
etong mga attacks sa free press,
29:35.6
habang inaabsorb ka pa
29:39.9
let's quickly talk about
29:41.2
na very important
29:43.5
I know marami sa mga
29:44.8
kameta natin dyan,
29:45.8
marami nagmamahal sa atin dyan,
29:50.3
na questionable eh
29:52.1
yung resulta ng elections last year,
29:59.4
nag-question ng resulta na elections last year
30:04.4
I and Ronald Yama sa mga oras
30:06.4
have had discussions about this,
30:07.9
na naihiwala po kami
30:09.9
na yung resulta na election
30:11.4
ay hindi masyadong malayo
30:12.9
dun sa pinuproject ng mga surveys
30:15.4
and that hindi mo pwede sabihin
30:17.0
na lahat ng surveys ay compromised
30:18.5
because that's a big claim.
30:19.6
Almost libelous din yan,
30:20.9
speaking of fake news, right?
30:22.0
At kung sasabihin mo na
30:23.6
maniwala ka sa Google Trends na lang,
30:25.4
napaka-questionabling
30:26.8
basihan ang Google Trends
30:29.0
for making reasonable claims
30:31.0
about actual election preference
30:34.5
kasi Google Trends looks at
30:36.5
kung ginugal mo yung isang tao
30:38.0
dahil interesado ka sa kanya.
30:39.5
So, I don't know,
30:40.8
you may hate the guy reasonably
30:42.8
but the guy will be among the most
30:44.5
Googled people out there.
30:45.8
So, that doesn't mean
30:46.5
you're gonna vote for Kanye West
30:47.7
if he runs for president again.
30:49.5
Di ba tumapos siya?
30:50.5
It just means you're interested in the president.
30:51.3
It just means you're interested in the president.
30:51.8
It just means you're interested in the president.
30:52.8
So, very questionable
30:53.8
yung Google Trends.
30:54.8
Now, having said that,
30:56.8
tayo po naman ay open-minded persons
30:59.8
and we always make analysis
31:01.8
based on available evidence.
31:03.8
We make analysis based on available data,
31:07.8
Available data, available evidence,
31:09.8
and also tinitignan po natin
31:11.8
yung mga latest developments.
31:13.8
Now, over the past six months,
31:15.8
may mga kasamaan tayo na
31:17.8
very, very passionately
31:21.1
have been questioning the technical aspects
31:24.1
of last year's elections
31:26.1
and have been raising serious concerns
31:28.1
whether may integridad
31:30.1
yung electronic logistical system
31:34.1
in charge dun sa ating elections.
31:37.1
And in that light,
31:39.1
mahalaga itong latest na.
31:42.1
ito na, transition na tayo sa Smartmatic.
31:45.1
So, may mga developments over the past
31:50.1
that I definitely think are worth mentioning
31:53.1
and I think we'll have to have a proper
31:55.1
and in-depth analysis on them also
31:56.1
with other friends and experts,
31:58.1
including those who also share
31:59.1
some of my skepticism about questioning
32:01.1
the entire result of last year's elections.
32:03.1
But, let me be absolutely clear,
32:05.1
I'm 100% for elections integrity.
32:10.1
I'm 100% for making sure na walang kalokohan.
32:13.1
And parati ko sinasabi,
32:14.1
isa sa problema natin is that
32:15.1
we're already looking at the downstream.
32:17.1
Upstream pa lang, meaning vote buying,
32:19.1
ang laki ng problema sa ating bansa.
32:21.1
Sa aking palagay,
32:22.1
yung malaking cheating problem sa ating bansa
32:24.1
ay vote buying and voter intimidation
32:27.1
bago pa yung vote count.
32:30.1
But, speaking of the vote count part,
32:32.1
let's look at the latest.
32:33.1
So, may breaking news po kahapon
32:35.1
na Comelec ay nagbabar na po
32:38.1
ng technology company Smartmatic
32:40.1
from participating in future elections sa Pilipinas
32:43.1
ayon kay Chairman George Garcia.
32:45.1
This is a big, big development, mga kameta.
32:48.1
Malaking issue yan, mga kameta.
32:50.1
So, we saw this news kagabi na breaking news.
32:54.1
Yung mga kaibigan natin dyan sa Rappler,
32:56.1
they posted about this.
33:00.1
Hindi ito trivial, mga kameta.
33:02.1
And we have to follow this very, very carefully.
33:04.1
So, ito po yung breaking news
33:06.1
na hindi na po gagamit din ang Smartmatic.
33:10.1
Interestingly, the situation with the Smartmatic
33:15.1
kasi I think it's the same company, diba?
33:18.1
Meron din silang problema sa kabila ng mundo,
33:21.1
Bati si Rupert Murdoch, no?
33:24.1
Might lose his position.
33:27.1
This is the same company, right?
33:29.1
Itong Smartmatic na involved din dun sa elections sa US naman.
33:33.1
Kasi diba, yung problema naman sa US is
33:35.1
yung concerns about fake news by Fox News, etc.
33:39.1
So, assuming these two are the same company,
33:42.1
which I expect them to be the same company,
33:44.1
nakikita na natin actually both in the Philippines and US,
33:46.1
under assault na itong Smartmatic.
33:49.1
So, in the US actually right now,
33:51.1
Rupert Murdoch, the oligarch,
33:53.1
the ultimate oligarch succession king sa media po,
33:59.1
ay potentially mawawalan na siya ng position, no?
34:01.1
Even his kind of emeritus position
34:03.1
dun sa defamation case,
34:07.1
Now, this is a different,
34:08.1
of course, very different case, no?
34:10.1
In the sense that this is about the fraudulent attacks
34:14.1
on the result of the election.
34:15.1
In 2020 in the US,
34:19.1
and you were talking about the Georgia elections
34:21.1
and the election counter.
34:23.1
it's not really about Smartmatic's election integrity,
34:26.1
it's about questioning the integrity of the elections
34:28.1
that happened to be overseen by Smartmatic,
34:30.1
but essentially as a fake news, right?
34:34.1
To cast doubt on the result of the election integrity.
34:37.1
Sa Philippines, it's a completely different drama.
34:39.1
Sa Philippines, ayaw na nila,
34:41.1
ayaw na nila ang Comelec
34:43.1
to do anything with the Smartmatic,
34:44.1
and in response, medyo strong yung...
34:49.1
Well, medyo strong yung response ng Smartmatic.
34:52.1
Let's just talk about this shortly
34:54.1
because this is important, mga kamanda.
34:55.1
Hindi ako dismissive, di ba?
34:57.1
When we see developments,
34:58.1
when we see evidence,
34:59.1
when we see data,
35:00.1
as John Maynard Keynes said,
35:02.1
when facts change, my minds change.
35:04.1
So, if you provide me evidence,
35:07.1
that there's something seriously going on there,
35:09.1
and then I'm always, I'm always ears, no?
35:12.1
Okay. So, ito, ito, ito, mga kamanda.
35:14.1
Tignan natin, ah.
35:16.1
So, this is today.
35:18.1
So, sabi ng Smartmatic,
35:19.1
we're very confident
35:20.1
that had Comelec inform us of the matter,
35:22.1
allowed us to explain our side
35:23.1
and present countervailing evidence,
35:25.1
unfair disqualification would not have been meted out.
35:27.1
So, now, yung Smartmatic naman nang ka-complain.
35:29.1
Again, just to be clear,
35:30.1
the case in the US is very, very different.
35:32.1
It also involves Smartmatic,
35:33.1
but in a completely different sense.
35:35.1
In a sense that it's about Fox News
35:37.1
questioning the integrity of elections questionably, right?
35:40.1
This is a different case.
35:41.1
This is people in the Philippines questioning
35:43.1
whether Smartmatic is the right partner
35:46.1
for automated elections.
35:48.1
And now, right now,
35:49.1
it looks like may malaking pagbabago nang nangyayari
35:52.1
sa ating political and electoral landscape
35:54.1
ahead of 2025 elections.
35:57.1
Ang Smartmatic po,
35:59.1
ay long-time voting technology provider po
36:02.1
ng commission election.
36:04.1
At ngayon, biglang binar na sila
36:06.1
from participating in bidding processes
36:08.1
on all poll contracts
36:10.1
for the foreseeable future.
36:13.1
Kaya in response,
36:14.1
nung today, today, no?
36:15.1
Ito yung sinabi ng Smartmatic na
36:18.1
we are very confident na sana kung
36:20.1
kinausap kami ng Comelec
36:21.1
at they raised to us their issues,
36:23.1
then we could have pushed back against that.
36:25.1
Now, let's not forget that the Comelec
36:27.1
dumped Smartmatic after he figured out
36:28.1
in a United States lawsuit against
36:30.1
former Elections Chief Andres Bautista
36:32.1
over an alleged bribery scheme
36:34.1
in 2016 elections.
36:35.1
This is also another issue
36:40.1
that we can have a discussion about.
36:43.1
Let's move forward.
36:45.3
A time when the country is still
36:47.1
vlogs or governor,
36:49.1
but what really called a
36:54.1
matter of principle is
36:57.1
say something about
36:59.1
the land rights that
37:01.1
many people can ignore.
37:05.1
Sabi paning din din yung
37:07.1
ibabaha sa lahat namin
37:10.1
ng that now are rakyat
37:11.1
17-page, sorry, I was just trying to look, trying to find it.
37:14.2
So, saan yung eyeglasses natin?
37:22.6
In a 17-page ruling by Comelec released kahapon, Wednesday, November 29th of 2024,
37:29.6
dun in response to a petition submitted to the poll body in June
37:32.3
by the team of former Information and Communications Technology Secretary,
37:36.1
Eliseo Rio, General Eliseo Rio.
37:38.5
Of course, you guys are very familiar with him.
37:39.9
He has been at the forefront of questioning the integrity of the election process.
37:45.0
His complaint had alleged that the 2022 ultimate elections were marred with fraud.
37:49.2
The commission elections, however, had little to do with the 2022 elections,
37:52.4
which the poll body maintained was credible and focused instead on the alleged 2016 bribery scheme.
37:57.5
So, yung bribery scheme na yan, ibang usapan na naman.
37:59.3
We can talk about that later on in separate vlogs.
38:01.5
Pero, ito yung ruling ng commission election, mga nakamayatan.
38:05.8
Let me get out to you yung mga relevant.
38:14.8
And this is actually big, ah.
38:17.2
This is really worth proper discussion, mga kameta.
38:22.1
Mabalikan na natin ito, ah.
38:26.7
Ayon dun sa ruling ng Comelec, mga kameta.
38:33.8
Dun sa 17-page ruling nila, you can actually find it and download it yourself, sabi nila.
38:37.9
Um, so essentially,
38:39.9
ang sinasabing ngayon is,
38:41.2
these allegations made by the complainant not only undermine and cast a shadow of doubt
38:46.3
over the procurement protocols,
38:48.3
but also threaten to erode the public's confidence in the electoral system.
38:51.9
So, this is, wow, this is big.
38:55.3
Swertmatic has provided Comelec with Paul Machines and the technology since 2010 elections
39:01.8
Uh, that was our first automated elections
39:04.1
and it has secured contracts worth 25 billion pesos over the past decade.
39:09.2
Ah, ayon sa Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism.
39:12.6
For the 2025, the Comelec is pushing for an overhaul of the entire automated election system,
39:17.9
a project worth 18.8 billion pesos, right?
39:22.2
Almost as expensive as the entire decade that we allowed for automated elections.
39:26.1
Ah, now, obviously, Smartmatic was among those who, ah, purchased bidding documents in October,
39:31.2
but now, it looks like they're out of the picture.
39:33.5
So, we have to follow this very carefully because now, suddenly, after dismissing all of this,
39:38.5
criticisms and allegations among, by General Rio and, and, and folks who have been questioning the integrative elections,
39:47.6
Meron na tayong etong response.
39:49.8
And, Swertmatic is, of course, um, also dealing with another separate case in the United States,
39:55.2
yung 2016 allegations naman na, okay, ibang usapan niya, medyo habang usapan yan.
39:59.8
We can have a different blog about this.
40:01.3
But, nauna wala yung, ah, let me just end on this note.
40:04.1
Nauna wala yung Swertmatic.
40:05.5
It's for different, unless there's, there's, there's an appeal process,
40:08.5
if they come back, then gulo na naman yan.
40:10.5
Let's see who else is gonna replace it because, okay, let's say talagang there was a problem,
40:14.8
may problema talaga sa Swertmatic.
40:16.5
Tapos, i-replace mo with even more questionable or really questionable group,
40:20.5
then mayrap din yan.
40:21.8
So, please watch out for this.
40:25.1
Let's, let's look at this carefully.
40:26.4
And, I think now, we can more credibly have, now, I think after this, especially this ruling,
40:32.4
kasi parang may recognition na may problema talaga,
40:34.4
we can have a more credible discussion about what on earth happened in last year's election.
40:38.5
And, to what degree was the final result of the elections really undermined by allegedly problematic election,
40:49.8
automated elections infrastructures that we had as it was overseen by Smartmatic.
40:54.1
Although, of course, Smartmatic pushes back against this and have a counterclaim.
40:57.5
So, I don't think mawawala itong issue na ito for any foreseeable future.
41:00.4
If anything, I think this is gonna be intensifying, ah, this is gonna intensify ahead of 2025 elections
41:05.5
and it's gonna further reinforce doubts about,
41:08.4
not only last year's elections results but elections throughout the past decade.
41:12.3
So, uff, laking problema yan.
41:14.3
Ah, at mahapang usapan yan.
41:16.3
But, of course, pinakamalaking problema sa atin is to make sure na the election process ay may integridad.
41:21.3
Hindi lang doon sa pagbilang sa mga boto pero mas mahalaga pa dyan yung vote buying
41:27.3
and disenfranchisement and violence during elections.
41:30.8
Lahat yan po yung mga problema at mga threats sa ating demokrasya.
41:33.7
So, on that note, thank you very much mga kameta.
41:35.5
Sorry na naubos ang energy ko doon
41:37.5
kaya maharli ka kanina and the whole SMNI issue
41:40.4
but this is also very important and I felt it's important to discuss this.
41:43.4
So, doon sa mga kanina mga kaibigan natin sa YouTube, other platforms,
41:46.4
I'll try to separate these parts para two different parts where I can watch them separately and comment separately
41:52.4
kasi sinama ko essentially two topics together.
41:54.4
On that note, thank you very much. God bless and have a good day.
41:58.4
And by the way, at 7, we will be back, God willing, and we'll have another interview, discussion.
42:03.4
Don't worry about it. So, yeah.
42:06.3
Mag-ano lang, re-energize lang tayo.
42:08.2
God bless. Talk to you soon.
42:10.2
Mabuhay po ang Pilipinas.
42:12.2
Mabuhay po ang Pilipinas.
42:14.2
Talk to you later at 7.
