CICT begins testing of poll solutions

Hindi sapat ang modernisasyon (counting machine) !

Hindi ganap na masasawata ng modernisasyon at computerization ng halalan ang ma
lalim na ugat na kabulukan ng sistemang pulitika at election sa Pilipinas. Bak
it gustong ipriority ang modernization sa election samantalang naipakita ng 'di
umubra ito sa Mindanao noong June 1996 ARRM election. Hindi ganap na malulusaw
sa pamamagitan ng modernization at computerization ang Kasal Binyag Libing (KB
L) at sistemang padri-padrino ng pulitika, na siyang ugat o dahilan ng mga âhe
llo Garci/dag-dag-bawas operation.â

Hindi dapat malimita't maipokus lamang sa yugto ng bilangan (counting period) ,
tulad ng computerization ang pagbabagong reporma sa election na nais ng countr
y. Maaaring sabihin makakatulong sa "pagpapabilis ng bilangan, cost effective,
mamiminimized ang errors at sinasabing liliit ang chance ng dagdag-bawas." Kaya
lang maihahambing ito sa isang "palaka na nasa loob ng lungga." Mga "palakang
ang nakikita lamang kalangitan ay kapirasong butas ng lungga" at hindi ang kabu
uang lawak ng kalangitan. Kung baga, isang kapirasong kalangitan o dayaan at an
omlya lamang ang nakikita ng palaka, hindi ang kabuuang kundukta ng election pe
riod at kabulukan ng sistema. Ito ang mga kadahilanan kung bakit sinasabing ang
modernization ay hindi makasasapat at makakapaggarantiya ng isang malinis, may
kredibilidad at kapani-paniwalang election.

Mas kapani-paniwala ng mahigit isang libong beses na mauuwi lamang sa isyu ng M
EGA PACIFIC, pagkakaperahan ng mga tiwali sa gubyerno, sa Tongreso at sa Comele
c ang modernization ng counting machine. Bukud sa pangungurakot, napatunayan at
napruwebahan na ang computerization sa congressional ARMM areas (automated cou
nting machine) noong March 1996 , sa kasawiang palad, nagpatuloy ang patayan, k
aguluhan at garapalang dayaan.

Hindi uubra ang modernization at computerization sa mga Ampatuan, Akbar ng Luz
on Visayas at Mindanao, sa mga warlords at Guns, Golds, Goons at Girls. Ang dap
at tutukan ay ang pagpapalakas ng Partido Pulitikal, proportional representati
on at pagsasa-ayos ng campaign finance.

Sariwa pa ang madudugo't karahasan sa katatapos na May midterm election. Naipak
itaang hindi dapat mapokus at malimita sa pagpapahusay ng pagbibilang ang pagb
abago sa election. Dapat mabatid na hinding-hindi mawawala ang âhello Garci da
gdag-bawas controversyâ sa tuwing election at ang katiwalian sa Comelec dahil l
amang sa modernisasyon ng halalan. Sapagkat ang âmalaking bahagi ng election pe
riod, ang election conduct at proseso ay isang malaking dayaan na.â

Paano masasawata ng modernization ang sakit na cancer ng private armies, ang ka
bulukan ng political clans, political party at kawalan at ampaw na plataporme d
e gubyerno? Hinding-hindi masusulusyunan ng isang modernization at computerizat
ion ng pagbibilang lamang ang katiwalian ni Abalos, ang maraming Bedol, Atty Da
laig at Garci sa Comelec. Mas matutuwa pa ang marami kung io-overhaul ang Come
lec (hanggang munisipyo), kasuhan at ipakulong ang mga nakinabang at nagsipagya
man na mga operador sa Comelec.

Ang katiwalian sa election ay hindi lamang nagagnap sa bilangan, nobenta porsie
nto (90%) ng dayaan ay nagsisimula pa lamang sa pre-campaign period, campaign p
eriod at canvassing. Talamak ang dayaan sa campaign period, lalo na sa campaign
finance, ang sobrang gastusing sa kanpanya, ang vote buying at voter's dis-enf
ranchisement ng mga botante, ang propaganda campaign hanggang canvassing at pro
klamasyon.

THe CICT must consider also the access technology that will be used in the elec
tion. otherwise, satellite will be used which is expensive and wil have to be u
sed only once every three years.thanks to the senators and politicians, the NBN
which can be used to transmit election results in short time now belongs to th
e statistics of projects affected by politics. The private TELCOs will continue
to hold the public hostage to their selfish profiting interest while the gover
nment can ony dream of interconnection up to the remotest areas.

1. Is CICT under COMELEC?
2. How one could get in touch with
CICT?
3. Does CICT have some information
about: (a) "CAES" - Computer-Aided
Election System?
(b) "FEEL.SYSTEM" - Full
Electronic System?
4. "CAES" and/or "Feel.System" had been
presented to the Comelec as early as
mid-October of year 2002. [In fact,
the Comelec, itself, "came up" with its
own version of "CAES" with different
description as: "Computerized
Automated Election System". [More on
this, follows]
5. Is CICT aware that the socalled "VRIS"
or its equivalent [highly-bannered and
highly-budgeted] of/by the Comelec,
is far more controversial than the
Comelec's so called "Automated
Counting Machine"?
[More on this, follows]

just want to know what is the status of the mega pacific deal? did the governme
nt refund the money?

its about time!

if not now, when?

just do your acts accordingly and it will boil down to alot of things that will
become better in our country.

A bad election is the symbol of everything that is currupt, a good one in 2010
will usher a new beggining for this country thats has sufferred so long.

who knows; a credible election, because of automation, will signal the "KICK"
this country has long been waiting for.

who ever wins in this process, lets go for it, or shall we say lets go with the
winner!!!!

We really need to automate the 2010 presidential elections. We have waited for
this. I believe that through automation of polls will at least diminish the dou
bts on election results.

I think a lot of politicians are deliberately maneuvering for an automated poll
solution which offer opportunities for cheating. I'm just wondering why in the
last attempt for poll automation they just planned for an automated poll count
when the whole election process can be automated and the result available on t
he same day. It was done here in Bahrain and can be replicated in a larger scal
e in the Philippines. Here's the basic idea.
1. All citizens must have a permanent National ID No. bearing birthday, birthpl
ace and other important data.The planned national ID must therefore be implemen
ted. This will eliminate the need for registration everytime there is an electi
on because there will be a permanent database for qualified voters. It will mak
e cheating and flying voters difficult and will save a lot of taxpayers money.
2. The poll system must be Web based so that even private computer networks can
be utilised.Security problems? The system must be patterned with bank ATM card
s and credit cards. Assume that the National ID as the ATM and the unique ID No
. as the account no. Assume the votes as the voter's fund and he want to transf
er it to the candidates account which will be assigned by the Comelec.Just like
in the automated banking system the result of the election could be available
in real time and will prevent result manipulation by cheating candidates.
If we truly want clean and honest elections it can be done by harnessing the la
test technology. After all, the Filipinos are among the best computer experts i
f they really want to be or if they will be given the chance.
