00:00 The Commission on Elections opened the satellite registration for our countrymen in the vulnerable sector
00:07 to speed up their registration and to hear each vote.
00:12 That's what Louisa Erisco reported.
00:14 The complaint of Mr. Rolando is far from easy and difficult to register.
00:22 That's why he hasn't voted in the election for a long time.
00:25 He's just choosing to rest because he can't move after getting a stroke.
00:30 But today, he chose to register when he found out that Comalec has a satellite registration.
00:36 I'm happy that we have a registration here.
00:42 Before, it was hard to walk to the school.
00:47 This is good because it's not hard for us.
00:52 Evelyn also registered early with her mother.
00:55 She said that she saw that the process is fast and it's not hard to register,
01:01 especially for PWD and senior citizens.
01:05 It's hard for seniors because sometimes the registration is high and sometimes low.
01:11 That's why it's hard and that's why there should be someone with you when you register.
01:14 The registration at the National Vocational Rehabilitation Center in Quezon City
01:18 is the first satellite registration for PWDs and NCRs.
01:24 It's very important that we bring our countrymen the registration of where they are.
01:30 Let's not wait for them to come to us because they are getting older.
01:34 As you can see, it's hard to walk.
01:36 Because of that, there is an expected emergency polling precincts for vulnerable sectors in the upcoming election.
01:43 Not only that, all precincts in the country
01:46 will open at 5 a.m. to vote.
01:50 The Commission of Elections should look for alternative polling places,
01:56 like high school buildings, especially public high schools in our area,
02:03 or other public or government buildings where we can hold our elections.
02:08 As of now, 1.3 million people registered for the 2025 national and local elections.
02:14 Comelec is seeing that more than 3 million people will register because the deadline for registration is until September 30.
02:21 But they are still monitoring if there will be a double registration.
02:25 Meanwhile, Comelec is ready to face Congress next week
02:30 to demo the base system of automated counting machines
02:33 to solve the issue of Miru Systems that will use fast track system in the 2025 national and local elections.
02:39 Comelec also noted that there is no need to choose a bidder or tailor fitting that happened and it went through a correct and transparent process.
